PART I

ITEM 1. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

VIASPACE Overview

VIASPACE Inc. (“we”, “us”, “VIASPACE”, or the “Company”) is a renewable and alternative energy company with a global reach. We operate three separate businesses. We grow a proprietary, fast-growing grass (initially in China) for biofuels and as animal feed. We also manufacture and develop framed copyrighted artwork in China and market and sell them in the U.S. We produce disposable fuel cartridges that provide the energy source for notebook computers and cell phones powered by fuel cells. We do not make the biofuel; rather we grow the grass feedstock for the biofuel factory. We do not make fuel cells, but instead we make disposable fuel cartridges for fuel cell and electronics manufacturers such as Samsung. Both the grass and the fuel cartridges businesses could represent potentially large and recurring revenue streams. A single fuel cell powered notebook computer may use as many as 100 fuel cartridges during its lifetime. The fuel cell/fuel cartridge business model is analogous to the razor/razor blade business model with the fuel cartridges being the disposable product. VIASPACE is based in California with business activities in China, Korea and Japan.

VIASPACE was founded in 1998 as a private company to commercialize proven space and defense technologies from NASA and the Department of Defense. VIASPACE has licensed patents, and software technology from California Institute of Technology (“Caltech”), which manages the Jet Propulsion Laboratory (“JPL”) for NASA. The direct methanol fuel cell was invented at JPL and the University of Southern California. VIASPACE subsidiary Direct Methanol Fuel Cell Corporation has licensed these patents from Caltech. VIASPACE became a public company on June 22, 2005. On October 21, 2008, the Company through its wholly-owned subsidiary VIASPACE Green Energy (“VGE”), acquired an equity interest in Inter-Pacific Arts, Inc. (“IPA BVI”), a British Virgin Islands profitable company that manufactures high quality, copyrighted, framed artwork at its factory in the People’s Republic of China (“PRC’), and sells the framed art to large retailers in the US. IPA, through its wholly-owned subsidiary, Guangzhou Inter-Pacific Arts Corp., a Chinese wholly owned foreign enterprise registered in Guangdong province (“IPA China”) also has a worldwide license to cultivate and sell Giant King Grass — a natural hybrid, non-genetically modified, extremely fast-growing, perennial grass that is suitable for livestock feed as well as a feedstock for biofuel production. The Giant King Grass has the potential to be used in the production of nonfood crop based biofuels such as cellulosic ethanol, methanol and green gasoline, and in the more immediate term, as animal feed for dairy cows, pigs, sheep, goats, fish and other animals.

The Company’s web site is www.VIASPACE.com.

The option requires purchase of all these business units together. These prices do not reflect sales or offering prices for the individual business units.

Grass Business Division

Through its acquisition of IPA, the Company has a worldwide license to cultivate and sell Giant King Grass, a natural hybrid, non-genetically modified, fast-growing, perennial grass for livestock feed as well as a feedstock for non-food crop biofuel production. It is an extremely fast-growing perennial grass that can reach 12 feet in height in 60 days. It can be harvested four times a year in tropical and semitropical areas with a yield of up to 350 metric tons per hectare. This is four to seven times higher mass yield than for corn.

Giant King Grass has immediate use as animal feed for cattle, sheep, horses, rabbits, pigs, poultry and fish. The $40 billion global animal feed market, according to Feed International reports, has grown 14% annually for the last ten years.

Giant King Grass can also be used as a feedstock to make cellulosic biofuels such as ethanol, methanol and green gasoline. British Petroleum recently announced plans to build a cellulosic ethanol plant in Florida using grass as a feedstock, and in the March 23, 2009 issue of Time magazine, Toyota stated that the carbon footprint for its plug-in hybrid can be reduced by fueling the engine with cellulosic ethanol. Biofuels are the Company’s ultimate target. According to Chemical News, the North American biofuels market alone totaled $37 billion in 2008.

Our strategy is to build up our grass production capabilities and initially sell into the animal feed market, but our long-term focus is on biofuels. The animal feed market means that we are not dependent on the maturing of the biofuel industry before we can sell our grass.

VIASPACE initially planted 1.2 million seedlings on leased cropland in Guangdong province in China. VIASPACE has a 20 year lease on 131 acres (800 mu), and has a 20 year lease option to another 165 acres (1,000 mu) in China. VIASPACE plans to expand the grass business into other areas of the world.

We believe Giant King Grass supports China’s top three national initiatives: improved agriculture to feed its people; alternative energy and a cleaner environment.

Biofuels have great potential. Most biofuels are made from plants which are a renewable resource, and use of some biofuels can significantly reduce carbon emissions. Burning a grass-based biofuel produces carbon dioxide; however the next grass crop 60 days later absorbs carbon dioxide. The net process can be very green.

Ethanol, which is the same alcohol in beer, wine or liquor, is the most well-known biofuel. Ethanol is blended with gasoline and burned in conventional automobile engines that have minor modifications. In the U.S., almost all ethanol is made from corn. Government subsidies for ethanol have made ethanol price competitive with gasoline and much of the US corn crop now goes toward ethanol production. These subsidies have led to an increased demand for corn for ethanol production. According to the Monday Morning Corn Report, one third of U.S. corn is devoted to ethanol production, and this is expected to increase in the future. Corn prices have risen from about $2.00 per bushel at the beginning of 2006 to a peak of $7.65 in mid-2008. Corn is currently $3.66 per bushel. More land in the U.S. is devoted to corn production at the expense of other crops and the prices of these other crops have risen as well.

Higher food prices have led to food shortages around the globe and it has been argued that people are starving so that we can make the fuel to drive our cars. This argument has resonated with many world leaders and resulted in a global effort to derive biofuels from plants that are not in the human food chain. These are called cellulosic biofuels.

Cellulosic biofuels are based on nonfood plants including grass, shrubs and trees. These plants do not have a lot of sugar and cannot be fermented directly like corn. They do have a lot of cellulose in their leaves, stalks and branches which contain carbon, hydrogen and oxygen which can be converted into ethanol which is called cellulosic ethanol.

Framed Art Business Division

IPA manufactures high quality, copyrighted, framed artwork in its factory in Guangzhou China, and sells the art to large US retailers through its sales organization in Atlanta, Georgia. IPA is a manufacturer and wholesaler of framed art.

The IPA framed art unit consists of five people in the U.S. and 84 in China. The factory is on 1.6 hectares of land in China including two manufacturing buildings and one employee dorm and a dining facility. This factory may be utilized for our other future manufacturing requirements. IPA, with its framed art business, has an established and stable production facility in China and distribution network in the United States.

An independent audit of IPA for 2007 showed revenue of $5.4 million and profit of $1.1 million.

The acquisition of IPA was a strategic move to acquire its revenue and profit, as well as the grass business.

With the IPA profits, we believe we can aggressively build the grass business even during these difficult times. We expect that the grass business will as large as the framed art business in 2011 and much larger thereafter.

We believe the framed art business can continue to be successful even in these recessionary times. People may not be able to afford a new house or major remodel, but can afford new paint and some new pictures to give their existing house or apartment a new look. Our high-quality framed art is sold by major retailers in the U.S. and is priced from $50 to $300 per piece.

IPA art designers work with buyers from retail chains to choose prints and other art forms from catalogs of licensed work. We only purchase prints from respected companies, and we guarantee our customers there are no counterfeits and that all royalties have been paid. IPA designers then mockup mattes and frames for the customer. Once the customer decides on a print, matte and frame combination, we ship the print to our factory in Guangzhou, China. The mattes, frame moldings and glass are sourced in China. A typical order is 1,400 units of a specific design and a customer usually orders several different designs which are packed in several containers and shipped directly to the customer in the U.S. The Company emphasizes using prints, frames and packaging that are all of high quality. An example of quality packaging is our use of protective clear plastic covers on the corners of the frame. The covers provide protection during shipping and handling, but are transparent and do not obscure the artwork on the display shelf as conventional cardboard corner protectors do.

VIASPACE Subsidiary — Direct Methanol Fuel Cell Corporation

Direct Methanol Fuel Cell Corporation (“DMFCC”), a subsidiary of which VIASPACE owns a 71.4% stake, is engaged in the development of disposable fuel cell cartridges for fuel-cell powered portable electronics such as notebook computers and mobile phones. DFMCC is also developing the required cartridge manufacturing, filling and distribution infrastructure. The Company plans to leverage its strong fuel cell patent portfolio licensed from Caltech and USC into key strategic partnerships with market leading OEMs and fuel cell manufacturers by offering them required patent protection.

Fuel cells are expected to replace batteries in some very important portable electronics markets including notebook computers and cell phones in the future according to Frost & Sullivan. Fuel cells convert a fuel such as methanol directly into electricity without burning. The fuel cell would be permanently built into the computer or cell phone and there would be a slot to insert a disposable fuel cartridge.

The advantages of the fuel cell over a battery are longer operating time on a single cartridge and instantaneous refueling by replacing the disposable cartridge. Fuel cells allow complete independence from the electrical grid. There will be no need to wait several hours while a lithium battery is being recharged.

Fuel cells and fuel cell powered portable electronics are being developed by large electronics companies like Samsung, and by Toshiba which announced plans to commercialize their first product later this year. VIASPACE does not make fuel cells, but rather we make the disposable fuel cartridges that are the energy source for these devices. The fuel cell and cartridge is analogous to the “razor and blades” business model. The fuel cell is like a razor and the cartridges are like razor blades. Cartridges represent a recurring revenue stream.

Direct Methanol Fuel Cell Corporation recently announced completion of its second delivery contract as cartridge partner with Samsung. DMFCC has also delivered cartridges and cartridge components to other companies.

DMFCC is developing the global capability to manufacture, fill and distribute cartridges through a network of partners. With these partners in Japan, Korea and the US, we are well positioned for large-scale production.

According to Frost & Sullivan, the market for commercial fuel cells used in portable devices is expected to reach $616 million by 2013. Toshiba expects that its share of DMFCC device sales will be $1 billion by 2015. Frost & Sullivan also projects 72 million fuel cell powered electronic devices will be sold annually in about five years. These 72 million notebook computers and cell phones are expected to use 3 billion cartridges per year. DMFCC cartridge revenue has the potential to grow rapidly when Samsung and Toshiba introduce their fuel cell-based products.

Fuel cells are electrochemical “engines” that convert a fuel such as methanol directly into electricity without burning. Fuel cells produce electricity as long as fuel is available. Fuel cells are being developed by OEMs of portable electronic devices in the fuel cell “engine” and will likely be permanently built into notebook computers or mobile phones. There are also major global efforts to utilize fuel cells in UPS (Uninterrupted Power Supply) applications, along with remote sensing and switching equipment, and hybrid electric/fuel cell powered vehicles.

Safety regulations developed by the International Electro-technical Commission (“IEC”) require that the fuel must be contained in a safe sealed container called a cartridge. Unlike the gas tank of an automobile, the cartridge should not be refillable by the consumer and is preferably a disposable product. Fuel cartridges are the consumable in the fuel cell business.

DMFCC is co-located with VIASPACE headquarters and also has representatives in Tokyo, Japan and Seoul, Korea. Other shareholders include Caltech, USC and Itochu Corporation of Japan. More information on DMFCC can be found on the web site www.DMFCC.com.

DMFCC Disposable Cartridge Design and Safety Certification

DMFCC has expertise in fuel cell cartridge design and safety certification. Since 2002, DMFCC has been working with the fuel cell industry, Underwriters Laboratories (“UL”), CSA International (“CSA”) and the IEC to develop international standards for the safety and performance of fuel cells and disposable fuel cartridges. The IEC is the electrical counterpart of the International Standards Organization (“ISO”). The IEC Micro Fuel Cell safety regulations were drafted in 2005 and were published in February 2006. These regulations cover both the fuel cell and fuel cartridges. More detail on these safety regulations are given below in the section on “Regulatory Issues”. Based on these regulations, the International Civil Aviation Organization (“ICAO”) Dangerous Goods Panel voted to allow methanol fuel cells and fuel cartridges to be carried in the passenger compartment of aircraft. This approval was ratified by the entire ICAO in 2006. The U.S. Department of Transportation issued a rule in 2008 allowing methanol fuel cell cartridges in the passenger compartment of commercial aircraft. Fuel cells using formic acid and butane were also approved at the same time, but hydrogen based fuel cells were not. It was also stipulated that the fuel cartridges should not be refillable by the user. DMFCC disposable fuel cartridges are designed to comply with the challenging international safety requirements. DMFCC is focusing on methanol fuel cartridges, but may produce cartridges for any liquid fuel.

DMFCC Cartridge Manufacturing

DMFCC designs, safety tests and markets fuel cell cartridges. DMFCC’s fuel cell cartridges are to be manufactured by experienced manufacturing partners that have a track record of supplying critical products to OEMs of consumer electronics. For example, one of DMFCC’s manufacturing partners Sato Group (“SATO”) which provides printer and toner cartridges to Japanese OEMs, has manufactured DMFCC cartridges for Samsung. Other DMFCC cartridge partners include Nypro, a large US-based global supplier of plastic products with factories in 55 countries and Tyco Electronics, a $13 billion manufacturer of a wide range of electronic products. DMFCC’s intent is to be a fab-less company, concentrating on product design and qualification of products to IEC standards. DMFCC will rely on its manufacturing partners’ extensive backgrounds and experience in manufacturing products similar to its fuel cell related products.

DMFCC Rights to Approximately 59 Issued and 59 Pending Patents Worldwide Licensed from Caltech and USC

The direct liquid hydrocarbon fuel cell was co-invented and developed by the JPL, which is operated by Caltech, and by the University of Southern California (USC). Hydrocarbon fuels include methanol, ethanol, formic acid, formaldehyde, dimethoxymethane and others. Methanol is the most common of these fuels. Caltech and USC have approximately 59 issued and 59 pending patents worldwide on the direct liquid hydrocarbon fuel cell technology. DMFCC has license rights to all of these patents, some patents with the right to sublicense and other patents without the right to sublicense. More details about DMFCC’s patent portfolio including patents applied for directly by DMFCC separate from licensed patents, can be found under “Intellectual Property” elsewhere in this Annual Report.

The Caltech patent portfolio includes claims directed to the fundamental idea of a direct hydrocarbon (including methanol) fuel cell that uses a polymer electrolyte membrane (“PEM”), construction of the catalysts, anodes, cathodes, and membrane electrode assemblies (“MEAs”), as well as alternative membranes. Other patents address water recovery, methanol sensors and filters, monopolar geometry, and electrolysis of methanol to produce hydrogen.

DMFCC Partnering to Advance Fuel Cell Adoption

DMFCC intends to work cooperatively with fuel cell manufacturers and OEMs to provide them with the patent protection they need, using DMFCC’s “have made”, “import”, and licensing rights. DMFCC intends to work with OEMs on cartridge supply arrangements which would allow DMFCC to provide innovative and safe fuel cartridges specific to each fuel cell-powered device manufactured by the OEM. DMFCC and its partners are willing to manufacture cartridges to an OEM’s specifications, qualify the cartridges to meet international safety standards, and distribute them on a global basis. If an OEM also desires to perform any of these functions internally, DMFCC is willing to work in partnership with the OEM. Rather than requiring a substantial fee and royalties to provide intellectual property protection, DMFCC will encourage the fuel cell manufacturers and OEMs to use a cartridge produced by DMFCC and its cartridge partners. Using this approach, which does not require upfront payment by the OEMs and permits DMFCC to handle any royalties due to Caltech and USC, DMFCC will share the market risk with the OEM and also will provide a valuable service by supplying cartridges to the marketplace. DMFCC will thus have the opportunity to derive revenue from the cartridge business which has the potential to represent a substantial recurring revenue stream.

Background Information on Fuel Cells and Fuel Cartridges

The IEC safety regulations, discussed below in the section on “Regulatory Issues”, specify that methanol (and other fuels) must be in a safe sealed container which is called the cartridge. The cartridge must not be refillable by the consumer because this may lead to damage to and overuse of the cartridge valve leading to potentially dangerous leaks. Disposable cartridges are consistent with the IEC safety regulations.

Low cost fuel cartridges are analogous to disposable alkaline batteries, but a cartridge containing 50 mL of methanol could power a laptop for five or more hours compared to 10 minutes if an alkaline battery were used. When a laptop is plugged into an electrical outlet, no methanol is consumed.

Direct methanol fuel cells (“DMFCs”), are electrochemical devices that convert high energy density fuel (liquid methanol) directly to electricity. They operate silently, at relatively low temperatures and offer much longer operating time than today’s batteries. Unlike a battery, DMFCs do not need to be recharged. They can provide electricity continuously to the consumer electronic devices as long as oxygen and fuel are supplied to the fuel cell. To achieve this, DMFCs can be “hot-swapped” and instantly recharged with replacement methanol cartridges. Furthermore, this convenience eliminates the need for consumers to carry electrical cords or adapters.

The heart of a fuel cell consists of catalysts for the electrochemical reaction and a special piece of plastic that can conduct protons. The technical term for this special plastic is polymer electrolyte membrane or PEM. One PEM used in DMFCs today is Nafion™, produced by DuPont. Other PEMs are produced by companies such as Polyfuel, Inc. and Gore Fuel Cell Technologies. The most common catalysts used are Platinum Ruthenium alloy for the anode and Platinum for the cathode.

In the fuel cell, the fuel is not burned, but rather is converted into electricity through an electrochemical process that splits methanol molecules into protons, electrons, and carbon dioxide at the anode and then combines these protons and electrons with oxygen at the cathode to produce water.

Methanol is being pursued as the fuel cell fuel by many companies because it is a liquid and therefore easy to store and transport. In addition, methanol is inexpensive and readily available. It also has a very high energy density, which means longer operating time.

Other DMFCC Information

On January 19, 2006, DMFCC exercised an existing option it had with Caltech and USC whereby DMFCC issued to Caltech and USC a total of 2,112,648 common shares in DMFCC in consideration for approximately 50 issued and 50 pending fuel cell technology patents. A Confidential License Agreement dated January 19, 2006 was filed in redacted form as Exhibit 10.13 to the Company’s Form 10-K for 2006. A Confidential Non-Exclusive License Agreement dated January 19, 2006 was filed in redacted form as Exhibit 10.14 to the Company’s Form 10-K for 2006. DMFCC issued to USC and Caltech shares equal to the difference between (i) fifteen percent (15%) of the issued and outstanding shares of DMFCC common shares determined on a fully diluted basis and 5,000 of the 8,000 shares delivered as consideration for the option agreement existing between DMFCC and Caltech and USC related to an agreement signed in 2002. This resulted in DMFCC issuing a collective 2,112,648 common shares to Caltech and USC in consideration for the licenses to the patents. DMFCC also agreed to pay royalties on the licensed technology. In addition, as defined in Article 13 of the agreements, the duration of the agreements with Caltech and USC shall continue until the earlier of (i) the last of the licensed patents expires or (ii) the agreement is terminated for reasons other than the expiration of the last of the patents licensed as in the case of a breach of any of its material representations or obligations under the agreements. In the case of the Confidential Exclusive License Agreement, the expiration date is October 26, 2019. In the case of the Confidential Non-Exclusive License Agreement, the expiration date is November 10, 2019. On May 15, 2006, the Company exercised an existing option it had with Caltech whereby the Company issued to Caltech a total of 150,000 additional common shares in DMFCC as consideration for approximately six issued thirteen pending fuel cell technology patents.

VIASPACE Energy Products

In 2008, VIASPACE launched a line of alternative energy products which generated revenue from sales of its new fuel cell (HS-1000 VIASENSOR) and lithium battery (BA-1000 VIASENSOR) testing equipment. In 2008, we also entered into an agreement to sell a new line of batteries, established a global sales and distribution network for its testing and fuel cell energy supply products, received inquiries from major auto manufacturers, automotive test systems providers, fuel cell developers and instrumentation companies concerning expanded uses of these products, and identified new areas of opportunity.

VIASPACE has expanded into safe lithium batteries with representation of two Asian manufacturers with focus in electric bikes, larger electric vehicles (“EVs”) as well as portable electronics. Those efforts are just beginning to see customers sampling the batteries in the third quarter.

Ionfinity is working on a next-generation mass spectrometry (“MS”) technology, which could significantly improve the application of MS for industrial process control and environmental monitoring and could also lead to a new class of detection systems for homeland security.

Ionfinity entered into a new Phase II Army contract with its partners, including JPL, on August 4, 2008 to design a compact, field portable, stand-off high-efficiency, rugged, integrated detection and identification, system for chemical and biowarfare agents. The Phase II Army contract is a fixed price contract and has a base value of $375,000 with a period of performance through August 3, 2009. There is an option for an additional year value of $375,000 to be funded from August 4, 2009 through January 3, 2011. Approximately $156,000 in revenues were recognized in 2008 by Ionfinity on this Phase II Army contract.

Ionfinity entered into a new Phase II Navy contract with its partners, including JPL, on October 23, 2008, to develop an innovative smaller, lighter, and more sensitive electronic sniffer sensor that detects chemical, biological, radiological, explosive and illegal drug residue. The Phase II Navy contract had a base value of $492,000 and a period of performance through April 23, 2010. The contract is a cost plus fixed fee type of contract. With options, this contract value could be $786,000. Approximately $51,000 in revenues were recognized in 2008 by Ionfinity on this Phase II Navy contract.

VIASPACE Subsidiary — VIASPACE Security Inc. (formerly Arroyo Sciences, Inc.)

The majority of the assets of VIASPACE Security Inc. (“VIASPACE Security”), a wholly owned subsidiary of VIASPACE, were sold on December 21, 2008, including intellectual property developed at NASA/JPL and licensed from Caltech including a commercialization license for a real-time inference engine (software platform) called SHINE (Spacecraft Health Inference Engine). The Company still owns 100% of the common stock of VIASPACE Security, but the Company is currently inactive.

Other VIASPACE Projects

The Company retains a worldwide nonexclusive license to certain patents and patent applications in the areas of interactive radio technology.

Concentric Water Technology LLC, a VIASPACE subsidiary does not have active operations.

Research and Development

As discussed more fully in the section titled “Results of Operations” below, our research and development (“R&D”) expenses were $1,148,000 and $1,041,000 for 2008 and 2007, respectively. All of these expenses were borne by the Company.

Competition

Framed Art Business (Inter-Pacific arts, Inc. /IPA)

There are many framed art companies that compete with IPA. For example, ICA Home Décor, Crown Arts, Wendover Art, Midwest Art and many more in the U.S. and China. IPA benefits from having its own factory in China and concentrates on large customers that typically order framed art work by the container load with a typical order of 1400 copies of a single design. These customers generally have many retail stores in their chains. IPA only manufacturers after an order is placed and has virtually no inventory of framed art. IPA guarantees its customers that all art is legitimate with full royalties paid, and that it will not sell the same product to another customer. IPA sources high quality frame moldings, mattes and glass in China, and assembles the framed art in its factory in China.

This allows IPA’s products to be sold at a favorable price.

Grass Business Division

Many companies, universities and research laboratories worldwide are investigating grass as a feedstock for cellulosic ethanol. Monsanto is an example of a large company focusing on grass. Much of the competition is looking at miscanthus or switchgrass. These grasses are suitable for temperate areas. The VIASPACE Giant King Grass is proprietary, with expected yields substantially higher than miscanthus or switchgrass. Giant King Grass is suitable only for tropical and subtropical areas, which are the focus of VIASPACE’s efforts.

Other grasses are suitable for animal feed and are competitors. We believe Giant King Grass has significantly higher productivity than competing grasses.

Direct Methanol Fuel Cell Corporation

DMFCC faces two types of competition. First, from competitors in the cartridge business and second, from competitors that could also provide intellectual property protection to the DMFC industry.

BIC Corporation in France and the U.S. and Tokai Corporation and Toyo Seikan in Japan. have demonstrated cartridges for direct methanol fuel cells, and may become direct competitors. Other companies may enter the cartridge business. However, the Company’s strategy is to leverage its intellectual property in an attempt to partner with electronics OEMs to secure their cartridge business rather than compete directly with them.

Caltech licensed part of its direct methanol fuel cell intellectual properties to two parties besides DMFCC: DTI Energy, Inc. (“DTI”), a company based in Los Angeles, California was granted a license in 1993 and Ballard Power Systems, Inc. (“Ballard”), a company based in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada was granted a license in 1999. A more detailed discussion of intellectual property is set forth in the Intellectual Property section below. As a result of these licenses, Ballard and DTI could potentially compete with the Company in its core strategy. DTI has held the license with the right to sublicense since 1993, but to the Company’s knowledge, DTI has issued no sublicenses to date.

Ionfinity

The Ionfinity technology is patented. Competing technologies to soft ionization membranes are standard ionization techniques such as electron filament ionization, electrospray, and others. Other mass spectrometers may become available and become competitors.

Overall, the markets for our products are highly competitive and many of our competitors have greater resources and better name recognition than we do. It is our intention to compete primarily by leveraging our intellectual property rights and our unique products.

Regulatory Issues

Companies operating in the portable/micro fuel cell industry, including DMFCC, are subject to current and future state, federal and international regulation, including safety codes and transportation regulations related to methanol fuel cells and cartridges. The US Department of Transportation gave final approval in 2008 to carry methanol fuel cells and to spare cartridges in the passenger cabin of commercial airplanes. This action now harmonizes US policy with that of the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO). The same approvals have been given by Canada, United Kingdom Japan and China. Approval to carry direct methanol fuel cells and cartridges on airplanes is a critical milestone which allows commercialization to move forward.

The International Electrotechnical Commission (“IEC”), the electrical counterpart of the International Standards Organization (“ISO”) and international committee of which DMFCC is a member, developed safety standards for fuel cells and fuel cartridges. The IEC document PAS 62282 — 6 — 1 Micro Fuel Cells — Safety was published in February 2006. This document covers small low power “micro” fuel cell systems and fuel cartridges that can easily be carried by hand. Broadly speaking, the IEC safety standards require the following potential dangers to be mitigated: fire, explosion, leakage, harmful emissions, ignition sources and corrosion. Extensive and detailed safety tests are required for these fuel cells are fuel cartridges. The IEC safety standards were critical to obtaining approval to carry fuel cells on airplanes.

The ICAO DGP specified that micro fuel cell cartridges and systems will be added to the exceptions allowed to be carried on aircraft by passengers and crew subject to the following conditions:

	•		Fuel cell cartridges may only contain liquids (including methanol, formic acid and butane)

	•		Fuel cell cartridges must comply with IEC PAS 62282 — 6 — 1 Micro Fuel Cells — Safety (as defined above)

	•		Fuel cell cartridges must not be refillable by the user. Refueling of fuel cell systems is not permitted except that the installation of a spare cartridge is allowed. Fuel cartridges which are used to refill fuel cell systems but which are not designed or intended to remain installed (fuel cell refills) are not permitted to be carried.

	•		The maximum quantity of fuel in any fuel cell cartridge may not exceed: for liquids 200 mL; for liquefied gases 120 mL for nonmetallic fuel cell cartridges and 200 mL for metal fuel cell cartridges

	•		No more than two spare fuel cell cartridges may be carried by a passenger

	•		Fuel cell systems containing fuel and fuel cartridges including spare cartridges are permitted in carry-on baggage only

	•		Fuel cell systems whose sole function is to charge a battery in the device are not permitted

	•		Fuel cell systems must be of a type that will not charge batteries when the portable electronic device is not in use and must be durably marked “Approved for Carriage in Aircraft Cabin Only”

Dependence on a Few Major Customers

For 2008, the Company had 1 customer which made up 57% of our total revenues. We believe this concentration of sales made to a small number of customers will continue in the near future. A loss of any customer by the Company could significantly reduce our future revenues.

Intellectual Property

DMFCC has licensed approximately 59 issued and 59 pending worldwide patents to fuel cell technology from Caltech and USC. DMFCC believes these patent rights are needed by many fuel cell manufacturers and OEMs in order to bring their fuel cell based products to market. The Caltech and USC patents have been issued in the U.S., Korea, Australia, Brazil, Israel, Canada, Japan, China and Europe. Additional patents are pending in these countries. The Caltech and USC patents were issued from 1997 through 2004 and expire from 2014 through 2021.

The following is a summary of DMFCC’s current patent portfolio licensed from Caltech and USC:


Caltech and USC Patent	Issued		Pending
Portfolio	Patents		Patents
United States		36		16
Japan		3		11
Korea		6		0
Rest of World		14		32

Total		59		59

DMFCC filed one patent application related to a fuel cell cartridge in 2004. On May 2, 2006, DMFCC filed two provisional patents. The first covered several methods of placing an authentication feature on a direct methanol fuel cell to provide potential customers with assurance that the fuel cell cartridges are authentic. The second featured several methods of preventing inadvertent access to the methanol stored in a fuel cell cartridge as a feature to protect children from possible exposure to the methanol.

On July 28, 2006, DMFCC filed a provisional patent on a cylindrical cartridge with reciprocating substance delivery and removal. On September 25, 2006, a provisional patent was filed on a fuel cell device valve that mates with a fuel cell cartridge. On October 30, 2006, a provisional patent was filed on a fuel cell cartridge valve that mates with a device valve. On December 27, 2006, a provisional patent was filed on a rectangular cartridge with a pouch type fuel container. As of December 31, 2008, DMFCC has filed for seven patents apart from the patents it licensed from Caltech and USC.

The Caltech patent portfolio includes claims on the use of a polymer electrolyte membrane or PEM in a direct hydrocarbon (including methanol) fuel cell, the types of catalysts, construction of the anodes, cathodes, and membrane electrode assemblies (“MEAs”), as well as alternative membranes. Other claims address water recovery, methanol sensors and filters, monopolar geometry, aerosol feed fuel cells, and electrolysis of methanol to produce hydrogen.

Ionfinity has five issued patents and two patent applications in the fields of soft ionization device and applications related to its development of improved mass spectrometer technology. The patents have expiration dates between 2022 and 2024. Ionfinity has also licensed one patent from Caltech relating to a soft ionization membrane being used as an ion source for a rotating field mass spectrometer. Ionfinity also has a cross license agreement with patent rights in the soft ionization device field, with a commercial company.

Trademarks

The Company has received issued trademarks for “VIASPACE” and “VIASPACE Technologies”. We have trademark applications for “VIASPACE Energy” and “Ionfinity”.

VIASPACE History

VIASPACE Inc. (the “Company” or “VIASPACE”), formerly known as Global-Wide Publication Ltd. (“GW”), was incorporated in the State of Nevada on July 14, 2003. The Company engaged in a reverse merger (the “Merger”) with ViaSpace Technologies, LLC (“ViaSpace LLC”) on June 22, 2005.

On September 30, 2003, the Company acquired all of the issued and outstanding shares of Marco Polo World News Inc. (“MPW”), a British Columbia, Canada corporation that was engaged in the production and distribution of an ethnic bilingual (English/Italian) weekly newspaper called “Marco Polo”, in consideration of 63,000,000 restricted shares on a post-split basis (2,100,000 on a pre-split basis) of the Company’s common stock issued to MPW’s sole shareholder, Rino Vultaggio, who became a director and officer of the Company. As a result of the transaction, MPW became a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company and, as of the date of completion of the acquisition agreement, the financial operations of the two companies were merged.

On May 19, 2005, the Company entered into an Acquisition Agreement with Mr. Vultaggio, pursuant to which, upon the closing of the Merger, the Company sold 100% of its interest in MPW to Mr. Vultaggio in exchange for 63,000,000 shares on a post-split basis (2,100,000 shares on a pre-split basis) of Company Common Stock. Thus, as of June 22, 2005, the Company no longer had any ongoing operations related to MPW, or any newspaper publication business.

In addition, on May 19, 2005, the Company entered into a Share Purchase Agreement with Robert Hoegler, a former director and officer of the Company, pursuant to which, upon the closing of the Merger, the Company purchased 72,000,000 shares on a post-split basis (2,400,000 shares on a pre-split basis) of the Company’s common stock for $24,000.

Effective June 22, 2005, the Company acquired ViaSpace LLC via a Merger. ViaSpace LLC was founded in July 1998 with the objective of transforming proven space and defense technologies from NASA and the Department of Defense into hardware and software solutions that have the potential to solve today’s complex problems. ViaSpace LLC benefited from important patent and software licenses from Caltech, which manages NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory, and from relationships with research laboratories, universities, and other organizations within the advanced technology community.

Pursuant to the Merger, on June 22, 2005:

	•		GW, as the surviving entity, changed its name to VIASPACE Inc.;

	•		The Company effected a 5 for 1 forward stock split (a 6 for 1 forward stock split was previously effected May 23, 2005);

	•		The members of ViaSpace LLC were issued an aggregate of 226,800,000 post-split shares of GW common stock in exchange for their membership interests in ViaSpace LLC at a rate of 5.4 common shares of GW in exchange for each membership unit. All pre-merger activity has been retroactively adjusted and presented to account for this exchange;

	•		A total of 54,000,000 post-split shares (1,800,000 shares on a pre-split basis) of the Company’s common stock were held by the pre-existing GW shareholders as of the date of the Merger.

On October 21, 2008, the majority shareholder of IPA BVI and IPA China, Sung Hsien Chang, entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with VVGE and China Gate Technology Co., Ltd., a Brunei Darussalam company (“Licensor”). Under the Purchase Agreement, the Company’s 100% owned subsidiary, VIASPACE Green Energy, Inc. (“VGE”) will acquire 100% of IPA BVI and the entire equity interest of IPA China from Chang. In exchange, VIASPACE agreed to pay a value of approximately $16 million in a combination of cash, and newly-issued shares of VIASPACE and VGE stock. The Company owed 59.3% of VGE after the acquisition of IPA and the issuance of additional VGE stock to the seller of IPA. In addition, VIASPACE issued shares of its common stock to Licensor for Licensor’s license of certain fast growing grass technology to IPA China.

The acquisition will be completed through two closings. At the first closing which took place on October 21, 2008 (“First Closing”), VGE issued 3,500,000 newly-issued shares to Chang and his designees. VIASPACE issued 215,384,615 shares of its common stock to Chang and 30,576,007 shares of common stock to Licensor. Chang delivered 70% of the outstanding common stock of IPA BVI. The second closing will be held within 240 days after the first closing (“Second Closing”). At the Second Closing, VIASPACE shall pay $4.8 million plus interest to Chang. Interest on the Cash Consideration shall accrue at 6% for the first six months after the First Closing, and then 18% thereafter. VIASPACE shall also issue 1.8% of its then outstanding shares of common stock to Licensor. Chang shall deliver the remaining 30% of the outstanding shares of IPA BVI to VGE. Chang will also cause IPA China to be a wholly-owned subsidiary of IPA BVI including obtaining all governmental approvals required for such transfer.

On December 22, 2008, VIASPACE Inc. (the “Registrant” or the “Seller”), entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with Knovitech, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Buyer”). Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, the Registrant transferred certain assets described below in exchange for $479,000 (“Purchase Price”). $200,000 of the Purchase Price was already paid earlier by Buyer as a deposit. An additional $279,000 was paid by Buyer’s assumption of certain indebtedness of Seller as evidenced by that certain promissory note executed and delivered by Seller dated as of in the original principal amount of $250,000.00 plus accrued interest of $29,000 executed by Seller in favor of Rhino Steel Manufacturing Ltd. and subsequently acquired by SNK Capital Trust (“Rhino Note”). Buyer represents that the Rhino Note shall be deemed satisfied as of the Closing.

Employees

The Company including all subsidiaries in the U.S. and the PRC had 94 employees and consultants as of December 31, 2008.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS

Our business is subject to a number of risks. You should carefully consider the following risk factors, together with all of the other information included or incorporated by reference in this report, before you decide whether to purchase our common stock. The risks set out below are not the only risks we face. If any of the following risks occur, our business, financial condition and results of operations could be materially adversely affected. In such case, the trading price of our common stock could decline, and you may lose all or part of your investment. We wish to caution that the following important factors, among others, in some cases have affected and in the future could affect our actual results and could cause such results to differ materially from those expressed in forward-looking statements made by or on behalf of us.

Risks Related To Our Business

We have incurred losses and anticipate continued losses for the foreseeable future.

Our net loss for 2008 was $9,817,000. We have not yet achieved profitability and expect to continue to incur net losses until we recognize sufficient revenues from licensing activities, customer contracts, product sales or other sources. Because we do not have an operating history upon which an evaluation of our prospects can be based, our prospects must be considered in light of the risks, expenses and difficulties frequently encountered by companies seeking to develop new and rapidly evolving technologies. To address these risks, we must, among other things, respond to competitive factors, continue to attract, retain and motivate qualified personnel and commercialize and continue to develop our technologies. We may not be successful in addressing these risks. We can give no assurance that we will achieve or sustain profitability.

Our ability to continue as a going concern is dependent on achieving profitability or future financing.

Goldman Parks Kurland Mohidin, LLP, our independent registered public accounting firm, has included an explanatory paragraph in its report on our financial statements for 2008, which expresses substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. The inclusion of a going concern explanatory paragraph in Goldman Parks Kurland Mohidin, LLP’s report on our financial statements could have a detrimental effect on our stock price and our ability to raise additional capital if needed.

Our financial statements have been prepared on the basis of a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. We have not made any adjustments to the financial statements as a result of the outcome of the uncertainty described above. Accordingly, the value of the Company in liquidation may be different from the amounts set forth in our financial statements.

Our continued success will depend on our ability to achieve profitability or to raise capital in order to fund the development and commercialization of our products. Failure to be profitable or to raise additional capital may result in substantial adverse circumstances, including our inability to continue the development of our products and our liquidation.

We operate in a changing and unpredictable regulatory environment.

In 2008, the US Department of Transportation issued final approval of a regulation allowing methanol fuel cells and fuel cartridges to be carried on board aircraft. This approval is critical for commercialization of fuel cell powered devices.

Our success depends upon market acceptance of our technologies and product development.

The markets for our technologies are either new or non-existent at the present time including direct methanol fuel cell cartridges and grass of cellulosic ethanol. Our success will depend upon the market acceptance of our various products and services. This acceptance may require in certain instances a modification to the culture and behavior of customers to be more accepting of fuel cell technology and other forms of technology and automation. Potential customers may be reluctant or slow to adopt changes or new ways of performing processes. There is no assurance that our current or future products or services will gain widespread acceptance or that we will generate sufficient revenues to allow us to ever achieve profitability.

In addition, our products require continuing improvement and development. Our products may not succeed or may not succeed as intended. As a result, we may need to change our product offerings, discontinue certain products and services or pursue alternative product strategies. There is no assurance that we will be able to successfully improve our current products or that we will continue to develop or market some of our products and services.

We operate in a competitive market against companies that have significantly greater resources than we have.

DMFCC faces two types of competition. We face competition first, from competitors in the cartridge business and second, from competitors that could also provide intellectual property protection to the DMFC industry.

BIC Corporation in France and the U.S., and Tokai Corporation and Toyo Seikan in Japan have demonstrated cartridges for direct methanol fuel cells, and are direct competitors. Other companies may enter the cartridge business. The Company’s strategy is to leverage its intellectual property in an attempt to partner with large electronics companies in the cartridge business rather than compete directly with them.

Caltech licensed part of its direct methanol fuel cell intellectual properties to two parties besides DMFCC: DTI Energy, Inc. (“DTI”), a company based in Los Angeles, California was granted a license in 1993 and Ballard Power Systems, Inc. (“Ballard”), a company based in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada was granted a license in 1999. As a result of these licenses, Ballard and DTI could potentially compete with the Company in its core strategy. DTI has held the license with the right to sublicense since 1993, but to the knowledge of the Company has issued no sublicenses to date.

The Ionfinity technology is patented and to our knowledge is unique. Competing technologies to the soft ionization membrane approach are standard ionization techniques such as electron filament ionization, electrospray, and others.

Overall, the markets for our products are highly competitive and many of our competitors have greater resources and better name recognition than we do. We intend to compete primarily by leveraging our intellectual property rights and our unique product value added features.

Due to uncertainties in our business, the capital on hand may not be sufficient to fund our operations until we achieve positive cash flow.

We have expended and will continue to expend substantial amounts of money for research and development, capital expenditures, working capital needs and manufacturing and marketing of our products and services. Although we have reduced expenses significantly, our business requires funds for operations.

The exact timing and amount of spending required cannot be accurately determined and will depend on several factors, including:

•		progress of our research and development efforts;

•		competing technological and market developments;

•		commercialization of products currently under development by us and our competitors; and

•		market acceptance and demand for our products and services.

The cost of developing our technologies may require financial resources greater than we currently have available. Therefore, in order to successfully complete development of our technologies, we may be required to obtain additional financing. We cannot assure you additional financing will be available if needed or on terms acceptable to us. If adequate and acceptable financing is not available, we may have to delay development or commercialization of certain of our products and services or eliminate some or all of our development activities. We may also reduce our marketing or other resources devoted to our products and services. Any of these options could reduce our sales growth and result in continued net losses.

If we lose key personnel or are unable to hire additional qualified personnel, it could impact our ability to grow our business.

We believe our future success will depend in large part upon our ability to attract and retain highly skilled technical, managerial, sales and marketing, finance and operations personnel. We face intense competition for all such personnel, and we may not be able to attract and retain these individuals. Our failure to do so could delay product development, affect the quality of our products and services, and/or prevent us from sustaining or growing our business. In addition, employees may leave our company and subsequently compete against us. Key personnel include Dr. Carl Kukkonen, our CEEO and Sung Chang, President of VIASPACE Green Energy, Inc. and CEO of Inter-Pacific Arts, Inc.

We have taken steps to retain our key employees and we have entered into employment agreements with some of our key employees. The loss of key personnel, especially if without advanced notice, could harm our ability to maintain and build our business operations. Furthermore, we have no key man life insurance for any of our key employees.

Our revenues to date have been to a few customers, the loss of which could result in a material decline in revenues.

For 2008, the Company had 1 customer which made up 57% of the total revenues recognized by the Company during that period. We believe this concentration of sales made to a small number of customers will continue in the near future. A loss of any customer by the Company could significantly reduce our future revenues.

Our products and services could infringe on the intellectual property rights of others, which may lead to costly litigation, lead to payment of substantial damages or royalties and/or prevent us from manufacturing and selling our current and future products and services.

If third parties assert our products and services or technologies infringe their intellectual property rights, our reputation and ability to license or sell our products and services could be harmed. Whether or not a claim has merit, it could be time consuming and expensive for us and divert the attention of our technical and management personnel from other work. In addition, these types of claims could be costly to defend and result in our loss of significant intellectual property rights.

A determination we are infringing the proprietary rights of others could have a material adverse effect on our products and services, revenues and income. In the event of any infringement by us, we cannot assure you we will be able to successfully redesign our products and services or processes to avoid infringement. Accordingly, an adverse determination in a judicial or administrative proceeding or failure to obtain necessary licenses could prevent us from manufacturing and selling our products and services and could require us to pay substantial damages and royalties.

Risks Related To the Industry

If we fail to successfully introduce new products and services, our future growth may suffer. Our areas of anticipated future growth are certain products and services at an early stage of development.

As part of our strategy, we intend to develop and introduce a number of new products and services. Such products and services are currently in research and development. We have generated no revenues from such potential products and services and may never generate revenues. A substantial portion of our resources have been and for the foreseeable future will continue to be dedicated to our research programs and the development of products and services. If we do not introduce these new products and services on a timely basis, or if they are not well accepted by the market, our business and the future growth of our business may suffer. There is no assurance that we will be able to develop a commercial product from these projects. Our competitors may succeed in developing technologies or products and services that are more effective than ours.

If we do not update and enhance our technologies, they will become obsolete or noncompetitive. Our competitors may succeed in developing products and services faster than we do.

We operate in highly competitive industries and competition is likely to intensify. Emerging technologies, extensive research and new product introductions characterize the market for our products and services. We believe our future success will depend in large part upon our ability to conduct successful research in our fields of expertise, to discover new technologies as a result of that research, to develop products and services based on our technologies, and to commercialize those products and services. If we fail to stay at the forefront of technological development, we will be unable to compete effectively.

Certain of our existing and potential competitors possess substantial financial and technical resources and production and marketing capabilities greater than ours. We cannot assure you we will be able to compete effectively with existing or potential competitors or that these competitors will not succeed in developing technologies and products and services that would render our technology and products and services obsolete and noncompetitive. Our position in the market could be eroded rapidly by our competitors’ product advances.

Our success depends, in part, on attracting customers who will embrace the new technologies offered by our products and services.

It is vital to our long-term growth that we establish customer awareness and persuade the market to embrace new technologies offered by our products and services. This may require in certain instances a modification to the culture and behavior of customers to be more accepting of technology and automation. Organizations may be reluctant or slow to adopt changes or new ways of performing processes and instead may prefer to resort to habitual behavior within the organization. Our marketing plan must overcome this obstacle, invalidate deeply entrenched assumptions and reluctance to behavioral change and induce customers to utilize our products and services rather than the familiar options and processes they currently use. If we fail to attract additional customers at this early stage, our business and the future growth of our business may suffer.

If we fail to comply with our obligations in our intellectual property licenses with Caltech and USC, we could lose license rights that are important to our business.

We are a party to a number of license agreements that are material to our business. We may enter into additional technology licenses in the future. Our existing licenses impose and future licenses may impose various minimum royalty commitments, other royalties and other obligations on us. If we fail to comply with these obligations, the licensors may have the right to terminate the license, in which event we might not be able to market any product that is covered by the licensors. We cannot assure you we will be able to obtain new licenses, or renew existing licenses, on commercially reasonable terms, if at all. Termination of the licenses could have a material adverse affect on our business, operating results and financial condition.

Our success depends, in part, on our ability to protect our intellectual property rights.

Our success is heavily dependent upon the development and protection of proprietary technology. We rely on patents, trade secrets, copyrights, know-how, trademarks, license agreements and contractual provisions to establish our intellectual property rights and protect our products and services. These legal means, however, afford only limited protection and may not adequately protect our rights. Litigation may be necessary in the future to enforce our intellectual property rights, protect our trade secrets or determine the validity and scope of the proprietary rights of others. Litigation could result in substantial costs and diversion of resources and management attention.

We cannot assure you that our competitors or other parties have not filed or in the future will not file applications for, or have not received or in the future will not receive, patents or obtain additional proprietary rights relating to products and services or processes used or proposed to be used by us. In that case, our competitive position could be harmed and we may be required to obtain licenses to patents or proprietary rights of others.

In addition, the laws of some of the countries in which our products and services are or may be sold may not protect our products and services and intellectual property to the same extent as U.S. laws, if at all. We may be unable to protect our rights in proprietary technology in these countries.

Risks Related To An Investment In Our Stock

Any future sale of a substantial number of shares of our common stock could depress the trading price of our common stock, lower our value and make it more difficult for us to raise capital.

Any sale of a substantial number of shares of our common stock (or the prospect of sales) may have the effect of depressing the trading price of our common stock. In addition, these sales could lower our value and make it more difficult for us to raise capital. Further, the timing of the sale of the shares of our common stock may occur at a time when we would otherwise be able to obtain additional equity capital on terms more favorable to us.

The Company has 1,500,000,000 authorized shares of common stock, of which 818,336,863 were issued and outstanding as of December 31, 2008. Of these issued and outstanding shares, 392,870,380 shares (48.0% of the total issued and outstanding shares) are currently held by our executive officers, directors and principal shareholders (including Dr. Carl Kukkonen, CEO and Director; Mr. Amjad Abdallat, Former COO and Director; Mr. Sung Chang, President of VGE; and SNK Capital Trust). On April 10, 2006, SNK Capital Trust agreed to a lock-up of its 61,204,286 shares until April 9, 2011. No other shares are currently subject to any lock-up arrangement. Of the total shares issued and outstanding at December 31, 2008, 485,024,564 are accounted by our transfer agent as restricted under Rule 144. These shares could be released in the future if requested by the holder of the shares, subject to volume and manner of sale restrictions under Rule 144. A total of 333,312,299 shares of the Company’s common stock are accounted for by our transfer agent as free trading shares at December 31, 2008.

We cannot predict the size of future issuances of our common stock or the effect, if any, that future issuances and sales of shares of our common stock will have on the market price of our common stock. Sales of substantial amounts of our common stock (including shares currently held by management and principal shareholders), or the perception that such sales could occur, may adversely affect prevailing market prices for our common stock.

Our stock price is likely to be highly volatile because of several factors, including a limited public float.

The market price of our stock is likely to be highly volatile because there has been a relatively thin trading market for our stock, which causes trades of small blocks of stock to have a significant impact on our stock price. You may not be able to resell our common stock following periods of volatility because of the market’s adverse reaction to volatility.

Other factors that could cause such volatility may include, among other things:

•		actual or anticipated fluctuations in our operating results;

•		announcements concerning our business or those of our competitors or customers;

•		changes in financial estimates by securities analysts or our failure to perform as anticipated by the analysts;

•		announcements of technological innovations;

•		conditions or trends in the industry;

•		introduction or withdrawal of products and services;

•		variation in quarterly results due to the fact our revenues are generated by sales to a limited number of customers which may vary from period to period;

•		litigation;

•		patents or proprietary rights;

•		departure of key personnel;

•		failure to hire key personnel; and

•		general market conditions.

Our executive officers, directors and principal shareholders own 48.0% of our voting stock, which may allow them to control substantially all matters requiring shareholder approval, and their interests may not align with the interests of our other stockholders.

Our executive officers, directors and principal shareholders hold, in the aggregate, 48.0% of our outstanding shares. Accordingly, in the event that all or some of these shareholders decide to act in concert, they can control us through their ability to determine the election of our directors, to amend our certificate of incorporation and bylaws and to take other actions requiring the vote or consent of shareholders, including mergers, going private transactions and extraordinary transactions, and the terms of these transactions.

Because our common stock is considered a “penny stock” any investment in our common stock is considered to be a high-risk investment and is subject to restrictions on marketability.

Our common stock is currently traded on the Over-The-Counter Bulletin Board (“OTC Bulletin Board”) and is considered a “penny stock.” The OTC Bulletin Board is generally regarded as a less efficient trading market than the NASDAQ Small Cap Market.

The SEC adopted rules that regulate broker-dealer practices in connection with transactions in “penny stocks.” Penny stocks generally are equity securities with a price of less than $5.00 (other than securities registered on certain national securities exchanges or quoted on the NASDAQ system, provided that current price and volume information with respect to transactions in such securities is provided by the exchange or system). The penny stock rules require a broker-dealer, prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from those rules, to deliver a standardized risk disclosure document prepared by the SEC, which specifies information about penny stocks and the nature and significance of risks of the penny stock market. The broker-dealer also must provide the customer with bid and offer quotations for the penny stock, the compensation of the broker-dealer and any salesperson in the transaction, and monthly account statements indicating the market value of each penny stock held in the customer’s account. In addition, the penny stock rules require that, prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from those rules, the broker-dealer must make a special written determination that the penny stock is a suitable investment for the purchaser and receive the purchaser’s written agreement to the transaction. These disclosure requirements may have the effect of reducing the trading activity in the secondary market for our common stock.

Since our common stock is subject to the regulations applicable to penny stocks, the market liquidity for our common stock could be adversely affected because the regulations on penny stocks could limit the ability of broker-dealers to sell our common stock and thus your ability to sell our common stock in the secondary market. There is no assurance our common stock will be quoted on NASDAQ or the NYSE or listed on any exchange, even if eligible.

We have additional securities available for issuance, including preferred stock, which if issued could adversely affect the rights of the holders of our common stock.

Our articles of incorporation authorize issuance of 1,500,000,000 shares of common and 10,000,000 shares of preferred stock. The common and preferred stock can be issued by, and the terms of the preferred stock, including dividend rights, voting rights, liquidation preference and conversion rights can generally be determined by, our board of directors without stockholder approval. Any issuance of preferred stock could adversely affect the rights of the holders of common stock by, among other things, establishing preferential dividends, liquidation rights or voting powers. Accordingly, our stockholders will be dependent upon the judgment of our management in connection with the future issuance and sale of shares of our common and preferred stock, in the event buyers can be found therefore. Any future issuances of common or preferred stock would further dilute the percentage ownership of our Company held by the public stockholders. Furthermore, the issuance of preferred stock could be used to discourage or prevent efforts to acquire control of our Company through acquisition of shares of common stock.

Warrants issued by the Company may have an adverse impact on the market value of our common stock.

The sale of stock issuable upon exercise of the warrants issued or issuable, or even the possibility of their sale, may adversely affect the trading market for our common stock and adversely affect the prevailing market price of our common stock. The existence of rights under such warrants to acquire our common stock at fixed prices may prove a hindrance to our efforts to raise future equity and debt funding, and the exercise of such rights will dilute the percentage ownership interest of our stockholders and may dilute the value of their ownership.

The warrants may adversely affect our operational flexibility.

The terms of outstanding warrants impose restrictions on us that may affect our ability to successfully operate our business. The transaction documents contain a number of covenants that may restrict our ability to operate, including, among other things, covenants that restrict our ability:

	•		to incur additional indebtedness;

	•		to pay dividends on our capital stock (except for our preferred stock);

	•		to redeem or repurchase our common stock;

	•		to issue shares of common stock, or securities convertible into common stock, in certain circumstances;

	•		to use our assets as security in other transactions;

	•		to create liens on our assets; and

	•		to enter into certain transactions with affiliates.

Certain events could result in adjustments in the exercise price of our warrants.

The exercise price of our warrants is subject to adjustment under certain circumstances. If we sell shares of common stock for a price less than the exercise price of the warrants in effect prior to such sale, in certain circumstances, the exercise price of the warrants could be reduced. In addition, the exercise price of the warrants could be reduced if we issue options or convertible securities, or in the case of a stock split, stock dividend, recapitalization, combination or otherwise. Existing stockholders will experience significant dilution from our sale of shares and warrants.

Any subsequent sale of shares and warrants will have a dilutive impact on our stockholders. As a result, our net income per share could decrease in future periods, and the market price of our common stock could decline significantly.

Other Matters

We were contacted informally by the Pacific Regional Office of the SEC in March 2006 requesting the voluntary provision of documents concerning the reverse merger of Global-Wide Publication, Ltd. and Viaspace Technologies LLC in June 2005 and related matters. The SEC or its staff has made no indication that any violations of the law have occurred. We cooperated fully with this inquiry in 2006 and responded to the inquiry in writing in 2006. There was no further inquiry in 2007 or 2008.

ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

YA Global Investments, L.P. (f/k/a Cornell Capital Partners, L.P.) v. VIASPACE Inc., et al. (Superior Court of New Jersey, Chancery Division, Hudson County — Case No. C-61-08) As discussed more fully under Note 11 to our consolidated financial statements, YA Global served a complaint against the Company on April 24, 2008 claiming it is entitled to additional warrants at a price lower than the revised exercise price of the warrants that was established on March 7, 2007. This dispute was previously discussed in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for 2007 and the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2008. YA Global claimed it was entitled to additional warrants. YA Global alleged when the Company sold shares of common stock at prices below an exercise price stated in the Warrant Agreement dated November 2, 2006 and amended March 8, 2007, it was entitled to a reset in the exercise price and related number of warrants. The Company consistently denied YA Global’s allegations and vigorously defended the subject litigation.

On September 8, 2008, the Company and YA Global and another related party entered into a Settlement Agreement (the “Agreement”) whereby the parties agreed, subject to certain conditions, to completely and forever settle any and all of their disputes and claims with each other as well as render null and void any and all prior agreements between the parties including the warrant agreements dated November 2, 2006, amendment to warrant agreement dated March 7, 2007, New SPA, Registration Rights Agreement dated March 7, 2007, and Irrevocable Transfer Agent Instructions dated November 2, 2006. The Agreement provides for the full and complete resolution of the dispute under the Complaint subject only to certain conditions being fulfilled related to delivery and execution of consideration under the Agreement. As a result, other than what was agreed to be provided under the terms of the Agreement, the Company has no continuing obligation to YA Global.

Pursuant to the Agreement, the Company issued to YA Global 22,500,000 restricted shares of Company common stock (“Shares”). As a condition to the Agreement, YA Global has a right to pursue the removal of the restrictive legend on the Shares by several means including (i) a Fairness Hearing pursuant to Section 3(a) (10) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended in New Jersey; (ii) an SEC Rule 144 legal opinion; or (iii) a registration statement. The Agreement further provides, that in certain, limited circumstances arising from defined events of default, the Company may be required to issue additional shares (not to exceed 22,500,000 shares) to YA Global if the default is not cured within the prescribed time period. On October 24, 2008, a Fairness Hearing was held which allowed YA Global the right to remove the restrictive legend of 22,500,000 shares. The restricted shares issued to YA Global had a fair market value on the date of grant of $630,000, which amount was recorded as a litigation settlement expense in the Company’s accompanying consolidated statement of operations.

ITEM 4. SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS

The shares were issued in reliance upon the exemption from registration under Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. We made a determination that these parties were sophisticated investors with enough knowledge and experience in business to evaluate the risks and merits of accepting our shares as payment for their services and the Company believes that each party was given or had access to detailed financial and other information with respect to the Company. These vendors acquired the shares for investment purposes without view to distribution, and there was no general advertising or general solicitation in connection with the issuance of the shares. Further, restrictive transfer legends were placed on all certificates issued to these parties, and no underwriting or selling commissions were paid in connection with these share issuances.


ITEM 6.		MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

VIASPACE Overview

VIASPACE Inc. (“we”, “us”, “VIASPACE”, or the “Company”) is a renewable and alternative energy company with a global reach. We grow a proprietary, grass (initially in China) for biofuels and as animal feed, and we produce disposable fuel cartridges that provide the energy source for notebook computers and cell phones powered by fuel cells. We do not make the biofuel; rather we grow the grass feedstock for the biofuel factory. We do not make fuel cells, but we do make disposable fuel cartridges for fuel cell and electronics manufacturers such as Samsung. VIASPACE is based in California with business activities in China, Korea and Japan.

VIASPACE was founded in 1998 as a private company to commercialize proven space and defense technologies from NASA and the Department of Defense. VIASPACE has licensed patents, and software technology from California Institute of Technology (“Caltech”), which manages the Jet Propulsion Laboratory (“JPL”) for NASA. The direct methanol fuel cell was invented at JPL and the University of Southern California. VIASPACE subsidiary Direct Methanol Fuel Cell Corporation has licensed these patents from Caltech. VIASPACE became a public company on June 22, 2005. On October 21, 2008, the Company through its subsidiary VIASPACE Green Energy (“VGE”) acquired Inter-Pacific Arts, Inc. (“IPA”), a profitable company that manufactures high quality, copyrighted, framed artwork at its factory in the People’s Republic of China (“PRC’), and IPA sells the framed art to large retailers in the US. IPA also has a worldwide license to cultivate and sell Giant King Grass — a natural hybrid, non-genetically modified, extremely fast-growing, perennial grass that is suitable for livestock feed as well as a feedstock for biofuel production. The Giant King Grass has the potential to be used in the production of nonfood crop based biofuels such as cellulosic ethanol, methanol and green gasoline, and in the more immediate term, as animal feed for dairy cows, pigs, sheep, goats, fish and other animals.

The Company’s web site is www.VIASPACE.com.

Critical accounting policies and estimates

Financial Reporting Release No. 60, “Cautionary Advice Regarding Disclosure About Critical Accounting Policies” (“FRR60”) issued by the SEC, suggests companies provide additional disclosure and commentary on those accounting policies considered most critical. FRR 60 considers an accounting policy to be critical if it is important to the Company’s financial condition and results of operations, and requires significant judgment and estimates on the part of management in its application. For a summary of the Company’s significant accounting policies, including the critical accounting policies discussed below, see the accompanying notes to the consolidated financial statements.

The preparation of the Company’s financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) requires management to make estimates, judgments and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amount of expenses during the reporting period. On an ongoing basis, the Company evaluates its estimates, which are based on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. The result of these evaluations forms the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities and the reported amount of expenses that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions. The following accounting policies require significant management judgments and estimates:

VIASPACE and DMFCC have generated revenues on product revenue shipments. In accordance with SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 104, “Revenue Recognition” (“SAB No. 104”), VIASPACE and DMFCC recognize product revenue provided: (1) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, (2) delivery to the customer has occurred, (3) the selling price is fixed or determinable and (4) collection is reasonably assured. Delivery is considered to have occurred when title and risk of loss have transferred to the customer. The price is considered fixed or determinable when it is not subject to refund or adjustments. Our standard shipping terms are freight on board shipping point. If the Company ships product whereby a customer has a right of return or review period, the Company does not recognize revenue until the right of return or review period has lapsed. Prior to the period lapsing, this revenue would be recorded as deferred revenue on the Company’s balance sheet.

Ionfinity has generated revenues to date on fixed-price contracts for government contracts in 2008 and 2007. These contracts have clear milestones and deliverables with distinct values assigned to each milestone. The government is not obligated to pay Ionfinity the complete value of the contract and can cancel the contract if the Company fails to meet a milestone. The milestones do not require the delivery of multiple elements as noted in Emerging Issues Task Force (“EITF”) Issue No. 00-21 “Revenue Arrangements with Multiple Deliverables” (“EITF No. 00-21”). In accordance with SAB No. 104, the Company treats each milestone as an individual revenue agreement and only recognizes revenue for each milestone when all the conditions of SAB No. 104 defined earlier are met.

VIASPACE Security has generated historically revenues to date on fixed-price service contracts with private entities and has recognized revenues using the proportional performance method of accounting. Sales and profits on each fixed-price service contract are recorded based on the ratio of actual cumulative costs incurred to the total estimated costs at completion of contract multiplied by the total estimated contract revenue, less cumulative sales recognized in prior periods (the inputs method). A single estimated total profit margin is used to recognize profit for each contract over its entire period of performance, which can exceed one year. Losses on contracts are recognized in the period in which they are determined. The impact of revisions of contract estimates, which may result from contract modifications, performance or other reasons, are recognized on a cumulative catch-up basis in the period in which the revisions are made. Differences between the timing of billings and the recognition of revenue are recorded as revenue in excess of billings or deferred revenue.

The Company accounts for equity instruments issued to consultants and vendors in exchange for goods and services in accordance with the provisions of EITF Issue No. 96-18, “Accounting for Equity Instruments that are Issued to Other than Employees for Acquiring, or in Conjunction with Selling Goods or Services”, and EITF Issue No. 00-18, “Accounting Recognition for Certain Transactions Involving Equity Instruments Granted to Other than Employees”. The measurement date for the fair value of the equity instruments issued is determined at the earlier of (i) the date at which a commitment for performance by the consultant or vendor is reached or (ii) the date at which the consultant or vendor’s performance is complete. In the case of equity instruments issued to consultants, the fair value of the equity instrument is recognized over the term of the consulting agreement. In accordance with EITF Issue No. 00-18, an asset acquired in exchange for the issuance of fully vested, non-forfeitable equity instruments should not be presented or classified as an offset to equity on the grantor’s balance sheet once the equity instrument is granted for accounting purposes. Accordingly, the Company records the fair value of the fully vested, non-forfeitable common stock issued for future consulting services as prepaid expenses in its consolidated balance sheet.

The Company bases its 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 for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. There is no assurance that actual results will not differ from these estimates.

See footnotes in the accompanying financial statements regarding recent financial accounting developments.

2008 Compared to 2007

Results of Operations

Revenues

Revenues were $1,429,000 and $253,000 for 2008 and 2007, respectively, an increase of $1,176,000. IPA recorded revenues from the date of acquisition by the Company on October 21, 2008 through December 31, 2008 of $866,000 from the sales of framed-artwork primarily to retail U.S. customers. Ionfinity incurred higher revenues of $102,000 due to the starting of a Phase II U.S. Army contract in August 2008 and a U.S. Navy contract in October 2008. VIASPACE recorded increased revenues of $150,000 in 2008 as compared to 2007 due to increased sales of its ViaSensor HS-1000 humidity sensors, sales of its new BA-1000 battery tester and technical services revenue related to a security software project. DMFCC recorded increased sales of $58,000 in 2008 related to contracts received for the development of a fuel cell cartridge from customers including Samsung.

Cost of Revenues

Costs of revenues were $617,000 and $157,000 for 2008 and 2007, respectively, an increase of $460,000. IPA incurred costs related to its framed-artwork totaling $249,000 from the date of its acquisition by the Company through December 31, 2008. Ionfinity recorded increased cost of revenues of $110,000 during 2008 as compared with 2007 due to the beginning of is Phase II contracts with the U.S. Army and U.S. Navy in the fourth quarter of 2008. VIASPACE recorded increased cost of revenues of $58,000 related to sales of its humidity sensor and battery tester during 2008 along with costs associated with technical services revenues on a security contract. DMFCC recorded higher cost of revenues of $43,000 due to costs associated with its fuel cartridge revenues in 2008.

The resulting effect on these changes on revenues and cost of revenues from 2007 to 2008 was an increase in gross profits of $716,000.

Research and Development

Research and development expenses were $1,148,000 and $1,041,000 for 2008 and 2007, respectively, an increase of $107,000. A decrease in payroll and payroll benefit costs of $455,000 due to the termination of certain research and development employees was offset by an increase in consulting expenses of $770,000 as the Company outsourced its engineering and research and development efforts effective March 1, 2008. Effective October 31, 2008, the Company cancelled these outsourcing contracts. Stock compensation expenses incurred by Company research and development employees and consultants decreased by $201,000 during 2008 as compared with the same period in 2007. Other research and development costs, net, decreased by $7,000 in 2008. We expect that research and development expenses will decrease from these levels in 2009 as the Company has restructured and changed the focus of its operations.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses

Selling, general and administrative expenses were $8,721,000 and $5,333,000 for 2008 and 2007, respectively, an increase of $3,388,000. This increase was primarily due to increased costs of $2,095,000 related to increased investor and public relations efforts in 2008 as compared with 2007. A decrease in payroll and payroll benefit costs of $300,000 due to the termination of certain selling, general and administrative employees was offset by an increase in consulting expenses of $1,621,000 as the Company outsourced most of its selling, general and administrative staff effective March 1, 2008. Effective October 31, 2008, the Company cancelled these outsourcing contracts. Higher stock compensation expense of $1,196,000 in 2008 compared with 2007 was related to the Company issuing stock to employees and consultants in lieu of cash payments for services rendered. Stock compensation expense related to stock options decreased by $612,000 during 2008 as many stock options were cancelled in 2008. The stock compensation expense related to warrants decreased by $413,000 in 2008 as compared to 2007 as the warrant agreement with Synthetica expired on August 16, 2007 and no additional warrant expense was recorded in 2008.

The Company’s legal fees decreased $124,000 due to lower legal fees incurred because of the Company’s reduced patent filing and financing efforts. Accounting fees decreased by $100,000 due to decreased audit and audit-related fees incurred. Other selling, general and administrative expenses, net, increased by $25,000 during 2008. We expect that selling, general and administrative expenses will decrease from these levels in 2009 as the Company has restructured and changed the focus of its operations.

Other Income (Expense), Net

Interest Income

Interest income decreased $36,000 from 2007 to 2008 as the Company has maintained lower cash balances in 2008.

Interest Expense

Interest expense decreased by $3,487,000 from 2007 to 2008. As discussed in Note 11 to the consolidated financial statements, on November 2, 2006, the Company entered into a convertible debenture arrangement, a standby equity distribution agreement, issued warrants and also offered the buyer an over allotment feature to obtain additional convertible debentures in the future. On March 8, 2007, the convertible debentures were converted to equity and certain of the other agreements were amended or terminated. In accordance with Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 21, the Company is required to accrete any debt discount up to the face value of the debentures and the debt discount is being accreted over the expected term of the debentures using the effective interest rate method. During 2007, the Company accreted $354,000 of this debt discount to interest expense. As of March 8, 2007, the balance of the debt discount was $2,096,000 and was reclassified to interest expense after conversion of the debentures to equity. Interest expense of $50,000 was recorded in 2007 related to the convertible debentures and was subsequently waived by YA Global on March 8, 2007 after the debentures were converted to equity. Transaction costs related to the issuance of the debentures was $57,000 and was charged to interest expense on March 8, 2007. In addition, YA Global was issued additional shares of common stock. The fair value of the consideration issued including the modification to the prices of the warrants and the issuance of additional shares of common stock in excess of the fair value of the consideration of the cash investments, forgiveness of interest and cancellation of embedded derivatives, resulted in an inducement of $953,000 which was recorded as interest expense in Statement of Operations for the period ended March 31, 2007, in accordance with SFAS No. 84 “Induced Conversions of Convertible Debt”. Other interest expense decreased by $23,000 in 2008 as compared to the same period in 2007.

Other Income

Other income was $227,000 for 2008 and zero in 2007. Other income primarily relates to income generated from facilities charges to subcontractors using office and laboratory space of the Company.

Adjustment to the Fair Value of Derivatives

The adjustment to the fair value of derivatives represents a total income adjustment of $1,383,000 in 2007 and zero in 2008. The adjustment to the fair value of warrants recorded as a derivative liability is an income adjustment of $611,000 in 2007. The adjustment to the fair value of the derivatives related to the conversion feature of the convertible debentures is an income adjustment of $756,000 in 2007. In addition, due to the derivative nature of the convertible debentures, the Company was required to account for its stock options with consultants as derivative liabilities, and accordingly, for the period ended March 31, 2007, made an adjustment to the fair value of derivatives of $16,000. The total of these adjustments to the fair value of derivatives was $1,383,000 during 2007. There was no such adjustment necessary in 2008.

Gain on Sale of Marketable Securities

During 2008, the Company sold 167,848 Cantronic shares in a private sale and recorded a gain on the sale of marketable securities of $29,000. During 2007, the Company recognized a gain on the sale of marketable securities of $219,000 related to its ownership in shares of ViaLogy plc. The Company also recorded a gain on the sale of marketable securities of $497,000 in 2007 related to the sale of some shares the Company owned in Cantronics.

Gain on Sale of Patents

As explained in the footnotes to our consolidated financial statements, on July 16, 2007, eCARmerce agreed to sell its patents and patent applications to Viatech Communication LLC for net proceeds of approximately $325,000, subject to customary closing conditions. The transaction closed on October 22, 2007, with the Company retaining $240,000 of net proceeds based on its ownership interest in eCARmerce. The Company took a write-down on intangible assets of $126,000 related to eCARmerce patents and offset the proceeds by this amount, resulting in a gain on the sale of patents of $114,000 that is included in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. There was no gain on the sale of patents recorded in 2008.

Discontinued Operations

As explained in Note 10, on December 22, 2008, the Company entered into an asset purchase agreement with Knovitech, Inc., whereby the Company transferred certain assets related to its security business for $479,000. $200,000 of the purchase price was paid in cash and an additional $279,000 was paid for by the forgiveness of a certain promissory note in the original principal amount of $250,000 plus accrued interest of $29,000. The Company recorded a gain on sale of assets related to this asset purchase agreement of $452,000. This amount is included in discontinued operations.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Net cash provided by operating activities was $24,000 for 2008 versus cash used in operating activities of $3,733,000 for 2007. The Company outsourced certain of its engineering and research and development staff and also certain of its selling and administrative staff effective March 1, 2008, to two outsourcing companies and paid for these services with stock issuances as opposed to cash compensation. The result was that the Company did not use as much cash in its operations for personnel during 2008 versus the same period in. In addition, effective October 31, 2008, the Company laid off certain of its staff. The Company’s net loss from operations was $9,828,000 in 2008 and $8,909,000 in 2007, an increase of $919,000. Research and development expenses increased by $515,000 during 2008 as compared with the same period of 2007 and selling, general and administrative expenses increased by $2,980,000 during this same period comparison. Revenues increased during 2008 versus 2007 mainly due to the acquisition of IPA on October 21, 2008. Gross profit improved from $114,000 in 2007 to $812,000 in 2008, as the fourth quarter reflected IPA results which contributed $617,000 in gross profits.

Net cash provided by financing activities during 2008 was $1,810,000. On January 4, 2008, the Company received $300,000 of loan proceeds from La Jolla Cove Investors, Inc. related to a promissory note issued by the Company, as described more fully in the accompanying footnotes to our consolidated financial statements. A $375,000 cash repayment was made to La Jolla against the outstanding promissory note. In addition, $259,000 was received from YA Global related to the exercise of warrants. We received $66,000 from proceeds from the sale of common stock during the three months ended March 31, 2008 under an existing Form S-3 registration statement. In addition, $17,000 was paid on other long-term debt. In December 2008, IPA received $1,580,000 from the prior owner of IPA as a condition of the purchase agreement between the Company and IPA that required IPA to have $3 million in cash equivalents on their balance sheet, as defined in the purchase agreement, at the time of acquisition.

We have incurred substantial losses during 2008 and 2007, although the Company did record improved results after the acquisition of IPA. Without continued profitability from operations, or the raising of additional equity or debt financing, the Company will not have adequate financial resources to support its operations at the current level for the next twelve months.

Contractual Obligations

The following table summarizes our long-term contractual obligations subsequent to December 31, 2008:

ITEM 8.		CHANGES IN AND DISAGREEMENTS WITH ACCOUNTANTS ON ACCOUNTING AND FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE

None.

ITEM 8A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Disclosure controls and procedures. Disclosure controls are controls and procedures designed to reasonably assure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed under the Exchange Act, such as this Annual Report, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls are also designed to reasonably assure that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Disclosure controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and implemented, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving an entity’s disclosure objectives. The likelihood of achieving such objectives is affected by limitations inherent in disclosure controls and procedures. These include the fact that human judgment in decision-making can be faulty and that breakdowns in internal control can occur because of human failures such as simple errors, mistakes or intentional circumvention of the established processes.

At the end of the period covered by this report and at the end of each fiscal quarter therein, the Company’s management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934). Based upon that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that these disclosure controls and procedures were effective at the reasonable assurance level described above as of the end of the period covered in this report.

Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting. Our management is also responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting. Internal control over financial reporting is defined in Rule 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) promulgated under the Exchange Act as a process designed by, or under the supervision of, our principal executive and principal financial officers and effected by our board of directors, management and other personnel, to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and includes those policies and procedures that:

	•		Pertain to the maintenance of records that in reasonable detail accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the Company;

	•		Provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the Company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the Company; and

	•		Provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of the Company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Because of its inherent limitations, our internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect all misstatements. Therefore, even those systems determined to be effective can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation and presentation. Projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

Our management assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2008. In making this assessment, management used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) in Internal Control—Integrated Framework. Based on such assessment, concluded that as of December 31, 2008, our internal controls over financial reporting was effective.

This annual report on Form 10-K does not include an attestation report of our registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management’s report was not subject to attestation by our registered public accounting firm pursuant to temporary rules of the SEC that permit us to provide only management’s report in this annual report.

Changes in internal controls over financial reporting. Management, with the participation of the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer of the Company, has evaluated any changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the most recent fiscal quarter. Based on that evaluation, management, the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer of the Company have concluded that no change in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) occurred during 2008 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

The Company is a non-accelerated filer and is required to comply with the internal control reporting and disclosure requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act for fiscal years ending on or after July 15, 2007.

Policy on Audit Committee Pre-Approval of Audit and Permissible Non-audit Services of Independent Auditors

Consistent with SEC policies regarding auditor independence, our Audit Committee has the responsibility for appointing, setting compensation and overseeing the work of the independent auditor. In recognition of this responsibility, the Audit Committee has established a policy to pre-approve all audit and permissible non-audit services provided by the independent auditor.

Prior to engagement of the independent auditor for the next year’s audit, management will submit an aggregate of services expected to be rendered during that year for each of four categories of services to the Audit Committee for approval.

Audit services include audit work performed in the preparation of financial statements, as well as work that generally only the independent auditor can reasonably be expected to provide, including comfort letters, statutory audits, and attest services and consultation regarding financial accounting and/or reporting standards.

Audit-Related services are for assurance and related services that are traditionally performed by the independent auditor, including due diligence related to mergers and acquisitions, employee benefit plan audits, and special procedures required to meet certain regulatory requirements.

Tax services include all services performed by the independent auditor’s tax personnel except those services specifically related to the audit of the financial statements, and includes fees in the areas of tax compliance, tax planning, and tax advice.

Other Fees are those associated with services not captured in the other categories.

Prior to the engagement, the Audit Committee pre-approves these services by category of service. The fees are budgeted and the Audit Committee requires the independent auditor and management to report actual fees versus the budget periodically throughout the year by category of service. During the year, circumstances may arise when it may become necessary to engage the independent auditor for additional services not contemplated in the original pre-approval. In those instances, the Audit Committee requires specific pre-approval before engaging the independent auditor.

The Audit Committee may delegate pre-approval authority to one or more of its members. The member to whom such authority is delegated must report, for informational purposes only, any pre-approval decisions to the Audit Committee at its next scheduled meeting.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

Board of Directors and Stockholders of
VIASPACE Inc.

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of VIASPACE Inc. and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2008 and 2007, and the related consolidated statements of operations and other comprehensive loss, stockholders’ equity (deficit), and cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall consolidated financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of VIASPACE Inc. and Subsidiaries as of December 31, 2008 and 2007 and the consolidated results of their operations and their consolidated cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 21 to the financial statements, the Company has suffered recurring losses from operations. In addition, at December 31, 2008, the Company has an accumulated deficit of $29,804,000. This raises substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

VIASPACE INC.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2008 AND 2007

Note 1 — SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Description of Business — VIASPACE Inc. (“we”, “us”, “VIASPACE”, or the “Company”) is a renewable and alternative energy company with a global reach. We grow a proprietary, fast-growing grass (initially in China) for biofuels and as animal feed, and we produce disposable fuel cartridges that provide the energy source for notebook computers and cell phones powered by fuel cells. We do not make the biofuel; rather we grow the grass feedstock for the biofuel factory. We don’t make fuel cells, but we do make disposable fuel cartridges for fuel cell and electronics manufacturers such as Samsung. Both the grass and the fuel cartridges represent potentially large and recurring revenue streams. A single fuel cell powered notebook computer is projected to use 100 fuel cartridges during its lifetime. The fuel cell is analogous to a razor and the fuel cartridge to a razor blade. VIASPACE is based in California with business activities in China, Korea and Japan.

VIASPACE was founded in 1998 as a private company to commercialize proven space and defense technologies from NASA and the Department of Defense. VIASPACE has licensed patents, and software technology from California Institute of Technology (“Caltech”), which manages the Jet Propulsion Laboratory (“JPL”) for NASA. The direct methanol fuel cell was invented at JPL and the University of Southern California. VIASPACE subsidiary Direct Methanol Fuel Cell Corporation (“DMFCC”) has licensed these patents from Caltech. On October 21, 2008, the Company through its VIASPACE Green Energy, Inc. (“VGE”) subsidiary, acquired Inter-Pacific Arts, Inc. (“IPA”), a profitable company that manufactures high quality, copyrighted, framed artwork at its factory in the People’s Republic of China (“PRC’), and IPA sells the framed art to large retailers in the US. IPA also has a worldwide license to cultivate and sell Giant King Grass — a natural hybrid, non-genetically modified, extremely fast-growing, perennial grass that is suitable for livestock feed as well as a feedstock for biofuel production. The Giant King Grass has the potential to be used in the production of nonfood crop based biofuels such as cellulosic ethanol, methanol and green gasoline, and in the more immediate term, as animal feed for dairy cows, pigs, sheep, goats, fish and other animals.

Company Background — On June 22, 2005, ViaSpace Technologies LLC (“ViaSpace LLC”), which was founded in July 1998, acquired the non-operating shell company of Global-Wide Publication Ltd. (“GW”). GW was incorporated in the State of Nevada on July 14, 2003. Upon the date of the merger, GW was renamed VIASPACE Inc. The transaction was accounted for as a reverse merger and a recapitalization of the Company.

Basis of Presentation — The accompanying audited consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) for financial information and with Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) instructions to Form 10-K. In the opinion of management, all adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated on consolidation. Certain reclassifications have been made to the December 31, 2007 consolidated financial statements in order to conform to the December 31, 2008 consolidated financial statement presentation.

Principles of Consolidation — The Company is generally a founding shareholder of its affiliated companies, which are accounted for under the consolidation method. Affiliated companies include Direct Methanol Fuel Cell Corporation (“DMFCC”), VIASPACE Security, Inc. (“VIASPACE Security”), Ionfinity LLC (“Ionfinity”) and Concentric Water Technology LLC (“Concentric Water”), in which the Company owns, directly or indirectly, a controlling voting interest, are accounted for under the consolidation method of accounting. The Company has a 59.7% ownership interest in VGE. Under this method, an affiliated company’s results of operations are reflected within the Company’s consolidated statement of operations. Transactions between the Company and its consolidated affiliated companies are eliminated in consolidation. The Company has adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 141, “Business Combinations”, which requires use of the purchase method for all business combinations initiated after June 30, 2001.

Fiscal Year End — The Company’s fiscal year ends December 31.

Use of Estimates in the Preparation of the Financial Statements — The preparation of financial statements, in conformity with United States 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. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

F-8

Cash and Cash Equivalents — The Company considers all highly liquid debt instruments, purchased with an original maturity of three months or less, to be cash equivalents.

Concentration of Credit Risk — The Company’s financial instruments that are exposed to credit risk consist primarily of cash equivalents. The Company maintains all of its cash accounts with high credit quality institutions. Such balances with any one institution may exceed FDIC insured limits.

Accounts Receivable Allowance for Doubtful Accounts — The allowance for doubtful accounts relates to specifically identified receivables that are evaluated individually for collectability. We determine a receivable is uncollectible when, based on current information and events, it is probable that we will be unable to collect amounts due according to the original contractual terms of the receivable agreement, without regard to any subsequent restructurings. Factors considered in assessing collectability include, but are not limited to, a customer’s extended delinquency, requests for restructuring and filings for bankruptcy.

Marketable Securities — The Company accounts for marketable securities in accordance with the provisions of SFAS No. 115, “Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities” (“SFAS No. 115”). SFAS No. 115 provides accounting and disclosure guidance for investments in equity securities that have readily determinable fair values and all debt securities. SFAS No. 115 applies to marketable equity securities and all debt securities, carried at fair value with unrealized gains and losses, net of related deferred tax effect, and requires that they be reported as an item of other comprehensive income. At December 31, 2008, all of the Company’s marketable securities are available for sale.

Inventory — Inventory is stated at the lower of cost or market. Cost is determined using the average cost method. Market is determined using net realizable value. The Company writes down its inventory for estimated obsolescence, excess quantities and other factors in evaluating net realizable value. Inventory includes material, direct labor and related manufacturing overhead. The following is a summary of inventory by business line at December 31, 2008:


	Raw Materials		Finished Goods		Total
Framed-Artwork	$	286,000	$	16,000	$	302,000
Humidity sensor and battery tester		30,000		5,000		35,000
Grass		40,000		0		40,000

Total	$	356,000	$	21,000	$	377,000

The following is a summary of inventory by business line at December 31, 2007:


	Raw Materials		Finished Goods		Total
Humidity sensor and battery tester	$	34,000	$	9,000	$	43,000

At December 31, 2007, the Company did not have artwork inventory or grass inventory as the acquisition of IPA did not occur until October 21, 2008.

Property and Equipment — Property and equipment are stated at cost, net of accumulated depreciation. Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are expensed as incurred; additions, renewals and betterments are capitalized. When property and equipment are retired or otherwise disposed of, the related cost and accumulated depreciation are removed from the respective accounts, and any gain or loss is included in operations. Depreciation of property and equipment is provided using the straight-line method for substantially all assets and estimated lives ranging from 5 to 30 years as follows:


Building		20 to 30 years
Machinery and equipment		10 years
Office equipment		5 years
Vehicles		5 years
Computers		3 years

Land Use Right — All land in the PRC is government owned and cannot be sold to any individual or company. IPA China acquired rights for the land occupied by its manufacturing facility during 2005 for RMB 5,000,000 or approximately $605,000. The land lease is for 30 years. Accordingly, the land use right is being amortized on the straight-line method over 30 years.

F-9

Property and Equipment — Property and equipment are stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is provided for using the straight-line method over the estimated useful life of the assets, which range from three to seven years.

Intangible Assets — The Company’s intangible assets consist of, among other things, (1) licenses to patents that are being amortized over periods through the expiration date of the patents (up to twenty years); (2) software application code that is being amortized over three years; and (3) software licenses with an estimated useful life of five years. All intangible assets are subject to impairment tests on an annual or periodic basis. The impairment test consists of a comparison of the fair value of the intangible asset with its carrying amount. If the carrying amount of an intangible asset exceeds its fair value, an impairment loss in an amount equal to that excess is recognized. Amortizing intangibles are currently evaluated for impairment using the methodology set forth in SFAS No. 144, “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets.”

Impairment of Long-lived Assets — The Company evaluates long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of an asset may no longer be recoverable. If the estimated future cash flows (undiscounted and without interest charges) from the use of an asset are less than the carrying value, a write-down would be recorded to reduce the related asset to its estimated fair value. For purposes of estimating future cash flows from impaired assets, the Company groups assets at the lowest level from which there is identifiable cash flows that are largely independent of the cash flow of other groups of assets. There have been no impairment charges recorded by the Company.

Minority Interest in Subsidiaries — Minority interest in consolidated subsidiaries represents the minority stockholders’ proportionate share of equity of DMFCC, Ionfinity and VGE. The Company’s controlling interest requires that the results of these companies’ operations be included in the consolidated financial statements. The percentage of DMFCC, Ionfinity and VGE that is not owned by the Company is shown as “Minority Interest in Consolidated Subsidiaries” in the Consolidated Statement of Operations and Consolidated Balance Sheet. At December 31, 2008 and December 31, 2007, the Company has recorded $500,000 as Preferred Shareholder Minority Interest representing an investment in DMFCC by a minority shareholder. At December 31, 2008 and 2007, the Company recorded $6,487,000 and $55,000, respectively, representing Common Shareholder Minority Interest in Ionfinity and VGE.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments — The recorded value of accounts receivables, accounts payable and accrued expenses approximate their fair values based on their short-term nature. The recorded values of long-term debt and liabilities approximate fair value.

Income Taxes— The Company utilizes Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes,” which requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the financial statements or tax returns. Under this method, deferred income taxes are recognized for the tax consequences in future years of differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their financial reporting amounts at each period end based on enacted tax laws and statutory tax rates applicable to the periods in which the differences are expected to affect taxable income. Valuation allowances are established, when necessary, to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized. For IPA China, the statutory corporate income tax rate for foreign enterprises in the PRC is 25% for 2008 and 24% for 2007. For 2006, 2007 and 2008, respectively, IPA China was eligible for a reduced income tax at 50% of the normal income tax rate. Beginning January 1, 2009, IPA China will be subjected to the normal income tax rate. IPA BVI is a British Virgin Islands international company and not subject to any United States income taxes. The Company does not have any deferred tax assets or liabilities recorded for the periods covered by the accompanying financial statements.

Revenue Recognition — Product Revenue. VIASPACE has generated revenues to date on product revenue shipments. DMFCC recognized product revenue in 2006. In accordance with SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 104, “Revenue Recognition” (“SAB No. 104”), VIASPACE and DMFCC recognize product revenue provided that (1) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, (2) delivery to the customer has occurred, (3) the selling price is fixed or determinable and (4) collection is reasonably assured. Delivery is considered to have occurred when title and risk of loss have transferred to the customer. The price is considered fixed or determinable when it is not subject to refund or adjustments. Our standard shipping terms are freight on board shipping point. If the Company ships product whereby a customer has a right of return or review period, the Company does not recognize revenue until the right of return or review period has lapsed. Prior to the period lapsing, this revenue would be recorded as deferred revenue on the Company’s Balance Sheet.

F-10

Product Development Revenue on Fixed-Price Contracts With Milestone Values Defined. Ionfinity has generated revenues to date on fixed-price contracts for government contracts. These contracts have clear milestones and deliverables with distinct values assigned to each milestone. The government is not obligated to pay Ionfinity the complete value of the contract and can cancel the contract if the Company fails to meet a milestone. Although the government can cancel the contract if a milestone is not met, the Company is not required to refund any payments for prior milestones that have been approved and paid by the government. The milestones do not require the delivery of multiple elements as noted in Emerging Issues Task Force (“EITF”) Issue 00-21 “Revenue Arrangements with Multiple Deliverables” (“EITF No. 00-21”). In accordance with SAB No. 104, the Company treats each milestone as an individual revenue agreement and only recognizes revenue for each milestone when all the conditions of SAB 104 defined earlier are met.

Product Development Revenue on Fixed-Price Contracts. VIASPACE Security has generated revenues to date on fixed-price service contracts with private entities and has recognized revenues using the proportional performance method of accounting. Sales and profits on each fixed-price service contract are recorded based on the ratio of actual cumulative costs incurred to the total estimated costs at completion of contract multiplied by the total estimated contract revenue, less cumulative sales recognized in prior periods (the ''inputs’’ method). A single estimated total profit margin is used to recognize profit for each contract over its entire period of performance, which can exceed one year. Losses on contracts are recognized in the period in which they are determined. The impact of revisions of contract estimates, which may result from contract modifications, performance or other reasons, are recognized on a cumulative catch-up basis in the period in which the revisions are made. Differences between the timing of billings and the recognition of revenue are recorded as revenue in excess of billings or deferred revenue.

Framed art sales. In accordance with SEC SAB No. 104, IPA recognizes product revenue provided: (1) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, (2) delivery to the customer has occurred, (3) the selling price is fixed or determinable and (4) collection is reasonably assured. Delivery is considered to have occurred when title and risk of loss have transferred to the customer. The price is considered fixed or determinable when it is not subject to refund or adjustments. Our standard shipping terms are free on board shipping point. Some of the Company’s products are sold in the PRC and are subject to Chinese value-added tax. This VAT may be offset by VAT paid by the Company on raw materials and other materials included in the cost of producing their finished product. Revenue is recorded net of VAT taxes.

Cost of Goods Sold — Cost of goods sold consists primarily of material costs, employee compensation, depreciation and related expenses, which are directly attributable to the production of products. Any write-down of inventory to lower of cost or market is also recorded in cost of goods sold.

Foreign Currency Translation and Comprehensive Income (Loss) — IPA China’s functional currency is the Renminbi (“RMB”). For financial reporting purposes, RMB has been translated into United States dollars (“USD”) as the reporting currency. Assets and liabilities are translated at the exchange rate in effect at the balance sheet date. Revenues and expenses are translated at the average rate of exchange prevailing during the reporting period. Translation adjustments arising from the use of different exchange rates from period to period are included as a component of stockholders’ equity as “Accumulated other comprehensive income”. Gains and losses resulting from foreign currency transactions are included in income. There has been no significant fluctuation in exchange rate for the conversion of RMB to USD after the balance sheet date. The sales of IPA are in USD.

Segment Reporting and Geographic Information — SFAS No. 131, “Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information” requires use of the “management approach” model for segment reporting. The management approach model is based on the way a company’s management organizes segments within the company for making operating decisions and assessing performance. Reportable segments are based on products and services, geography, legal structure, management structure, or any other manner in which management disaggregates a company.

Stock Based Compensation — VIASPACE and DMFCC have stock-based compensation plans. Effective with VIASPACE and DMFCC’s fiscal year that began January 1, 2006, the Company adopted the accounting and disclosure provisions of SFAS No. 123(R), “Share-Based Payments” (“SFAS No. 123(R)”) using the modified prospective application transition method. The Company accounts for equity instruments issued to consultants and vendors in exchange for goods and services in accordance with the provisions of EITF Issue No. 96-18, “Accounting for Equity Instruments that are Issued to Other than Employees for Acquiring, or in Conjunction with Selling Goods or Services”, and EITF Issue No. 00-18, “Accounting Recognition for Certain Transactions Involving Equity Instruments Granted to Other than Employees”. The measurement date for the fair value of the equity instruments issued is determined at the earlier of: (i) the date at which a commitment for performance by the consultant or vendor is reached or (ii) the date at which the consultant or vendor’s performance is complete. In the case of equity instruments issued to consultants, the fair value of the equity instrument is recognized over the term of the consulting agreement. In accordance with EITF Issue No. 00-18, an asset acquired in exchange for the issuance of fully vested, non-forfeitable equity instruments should not be presented or classified as an offset to equity on the grantor’s balance sheet once the equity instrument is granted for accounting purposes. Accordingly, the Company records the fair value of the fully vested, non-forfeitable common stock issued for future consulting services as prepaid expenses in its consolidated balance sheet.

F-11

Net Income (Loss) Per Share — The Company computes net loss per share in accordance with SFAS No. 128, “Earnings per Share” (SFAS No. 128”) and SEC SAB No. 98 (“SAB No. 98”). Under the provisions of SFAS No. 128 and SAB No. 98, basic and diluted net loss per share is computed by dividing the net loss available to common stockholders for the period by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period.

Research and Development — The Company charges research and development expenses to operations as incurred.

NOTE 9— ACQUISITION OF IPA

On October 21, 2008, the majority shareholder of IPA BVI and IPA China, Sung Hsien Chang, entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with VGE and China Gate Technology Co., Ltd., a Brunei Darussalam company (“Licensor”). Under the Purchase Agreement, VGE acquired 100% of IPA and the entire equity interest of IPA China from Chang. In exchange, VIASPACE agreed to pay approximately $16 million in a combination of cash, and newly-issued shares of VIASPACE and VGE stock. In addition, VIASPACE issued shares of its common stock to Licensor for Licensor’s license of certain fast growing grass technology to IPA China.

F-14

The acquisition will be completed through two closings. At the first closing on October 21, 2008 (“First Closing”), VGE issued 3,500,000 newly-issued shares to Chang and his designees. VIASPACE issued 215,384,615 shares of its common stock to Chang and 30,576,007 shares of common stock to Licensor. Chang delivered 70% of the outstanding common stock of IPA BVI. The second closing will be held within 240 days after the first closing (“Second Closing”). At the Second Closing scheduled for June 21, 2009, VIASPACE shall pay $4,800,000 million plus interest to Chang. Interest on the Cash Consideration shall accrue at 6% for the first six months after the First Closing, and then 18% thereafter. There is a loan of $4,800,000 to related party included in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet. VIASPACE shall also issue 1.8% of its then outstanding shares of common stock to Licensor. Chang shall deliver the remaining 30% of the outstanding shares of IPA BVI to VGE. Chang will also cause IPA China to be a wholly-owned subsidiary of IPA BVI including obtaining all governmental approvals required for such transfer.

VIASPACE and VGE’s obligations to consummate the Second Closing is conditioned upon, among other things, the transfer of the equity of IPA China from Chang to IPA BVI and the execution of the assignment of the right to grow and harvest fast-growing proprietary grasses from Quanzhou Keyi Husbandry Breeding and Planting Co. from Licensor to IPA China.

VGE entered into four separate two-year employment agreements with each of Carl Kukkonen, Sung Chang, Stephen Muzi and Maclean Wang. Kukkonen would serve as Chief executive Officer, Chang as President, Muzi as Chief Financial Officer and Wang as Managing Director of Grass Development of IPA China. Kukkonen and Chang would receive a salary of $240,000 per annum, Muzi receives $180,000 per annum and Wang receives $84,000 per annum. Each of them is entitled to a bonus as determined by the VGE Board of Directors, customary insurance and health benefits, 15 days paid leave per year, and reimbursement for out-of-pocket expenses in the course of his employment.

Under Chang’s employment agreement, VGE will grant him an option to purchase the number shares of its common stock equal to four percent (4%) of VGE’s total outstanding shares as of the Second Closing Date. The purchase price of the option shares shall be eighty percent (80%) of the fair market value of such common stock as of the Second Closing Date. The option shall vest over a period of 24 months beginning on the date of the Employment Agreement, with 1/24 of the option shares vesting on the first day of each month that Chang is employed with VGE.

Under Wang’s employment agreement, VGE will grant him an option to purchase the number shares of its common stock equal to four percent (4%) of VGE’s total outstanding shares as of the Second Closing Date. The purchase price of the option shares shall be eighty percent (80%) of the fair market value of such common stock as of the Second Closing Date. The option shall vest over a period of 24 months beginning on the date of the Employment Agreement, with 1/24 of the option shares vesting on the first day of each month that Wang is employed with VGE.

In the event that the Second Closing does not occur within 240 days after the First Closing, the Purchase Agreement and each Employment Agreement shall automatically terminate and all stock certificates delivered at First Closing shall be returned.

If the Second Closing does not occur within 240 days although most of VIASPACE’s closing conditions have been satisfied, then Chang may receive additional VGE shares or retain VIASPACE shares as follows: if the VGE stock is listed on a trading market, then VIASPACE shall transfer to Chang all the VGE shares. If the VGE stock is not listed on a trading market, then Chang shall retain the VIASPACE shares instead of returning them to the Company.

In the event that the Second Closing fails to occur, neither VIASPACE or its affiliates, or any of their directors or officers, shall engage in the grass business in China for a period of three years after the First Closing Date.

During the 75 day period after the First Closing, VGE shall engage an independent auditor acceptable to Chang to perform an audit of the financial records of IPA BVI and IPA China in accordance with federal securities laws. As of the First Closing, Chang warrants that IPA BVI and IPA China’s cash equivalents (which includes all cash plus accounts receivables less accounts payable) will be $3.0 million. Any difference between $3.0 million and the actual cash equivalents on the financial records of IPA BVI and IPA China as of the First Closing is a Cash Shortfall. Chang agrees to deposit the Cash Shortfall into IPA BVI’s bank account once the amount is determined. In December 2008, Chang deposited $1,580,000 in the bank account of IPA BVI related to this Cash Shortfall.

Within 150 days of the First Closing, VGE shall prepare and file with the SEC a registration statement covering the resale of all or such maximum portion of VGE common stock issued pursuant to the Purchase Agreement as permitted by SEC regulations (“Registration Statement”) that are not then registered on an effective Registration Statement for an offering to be made on a continuous basis pursuant to Rule 415. Alternatively, VGE shall register its common stock on a registration statement on Form 10. VGE shall use its best efforts to qualify its Common Stock for quotation on a trading market as soon as practicable, but in no event later than the 240th day after the closing of this Agreement or the 90th day after the effectiveness of the Registration Statement on Form S-1 registering some or all of VGE Common Stock or on Form 10.

F-15

Provided that the Second Closing has occurred, if VGE common stock is not listed on a trading market within 240 days after the First Closing, then VIASPACE will issue to Chang the number of shares of its common stock equivalent to $5,600,000. The stock price will be calculated as the average closing price of VIASPACE’s common stock during the 60 day period prior to and including the Second Closing Date. In exchange, Chang shall return all shares of VGE common stock it received pursuant to the Purchase Agreement to the Company.

Licensor and Chang each represents and covenants that at least 100 hectares of arable land in Guangdong province in China will be available for grass farming by IPA China within 12 months after the First Closing Date. Any agreement regarding such land use rights shall grant the land use rights to IPA China, but shall be assignable to VGE at VGE’s option. The term of such agreement, including possible renewals, shall be at least 10 years.

NOTE 11— STOCK OPTIONS AND WARRANTS

VIASPACE Inc. 2005 Stock Incentive Plan

On October 20, 2005, the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of the Company adopted the 2005 Stock Incentive Plan (the “Plan”) including the 2005 Non-Employee Director Option Program (the “2005 Director Plan”). The Plan was also approved by the holders of a majority of the Company’s common stock. The Plan originally provided for the reservation for issuance under the Plan of 28,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock. On February 14, 2008, the Board and the holders of a majority of the Company’s common stock approved an amendment to the Plan which increases the maximum aggregate number of shares which may be issued in the Plan to 99,000,000 shares. In addition, effective January 1, 2009 and each January 1 thereafter during the term of the Plan, the maximum aggregate number of shares under the Plan are to be increased so that the maximum aggregate number of shares is equivalent to 30% of the total number of shares of common stock issued and outstanding as of the close of business on the immediately preceding December 31. The Company filed a Form S-8 Registration Statement with the SEC on April 30, 2008 registering an additional 71,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock under the Plan. Previously, on July 12, 2006, the Company filed an S-8 Registration Statement with the SEC registering 28,000,000 shares.

The Plan is designed to provide additional incentive to employees, directors and consultants of the Company through the awarding of incentive stock options, non-statutory stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock and other awards. On February 13, 2006, the Board approved the 2006 Non-Employee Director Option Program (the “2006 Director Plan”) replacing the 2005 Director Plan and the 2006 Director Plan was approved by the holders of a majority of the Company’s common stock. The 2006 Director Plan awards a one-time grant of 125,000 options, or such other number of options as determined by the Board of Directors as plan administrator of the 2006 Director Plan, to newly appointed outside members of the Company’s Board and annual grants of 50,000 options, or such other number of options as determined by the Board of Directors, to outside members of the Board that have served at least six months.

F-17

The Company’s Board administers the Plan, selects the individuals to whom options will be granted, determines the number of options to be granted, and the term and exercise price of each option. Stock options granted pursuant to the terms of the Plans generally cannot be granted with an exercise price of less than 100% of the fair market value on the date of the grant. The term of the options granted under the Plan cannot be greater than 10 years. Options to employees and directors vest generally over four years. An aggregate of 13,942,579 shares were available for future grant at December 31, 2008. During 2008, the Company granted 7,050,000 stock options to employees, board members and advisory board members to purchase common shares with exercise prices of between $0.0195 and $0.039 per share. During this same period, 10,436,000 stock options were cancelled as a result of employees, directors or consultants terminating service with the Company or upon mutual agreement.

During 2008, the Company issued 72,248,650 shares of common stock under the Plan to employees, directors and consultants for services provided to the Company. The common stock issued in respect to 44,248,650 shares had no restrictions or holding period required. The common stock issued in respect to 28,000,000 shares issued to Dr. Kukkonen, Mr. Abdallat, Mr. Muzi and Mr. Calacci had a one-year restriction on them expiring August 24, 2009, as discussed in Note 3. The stock compensation expense recorded relating to these share issuances was based on fair market value on the date of grant and totaled $274,000 for 2008.

On January 1, 2006, the Company adopted SFAS No. 123(R), which requires the measurement and recognition of compensation expense for all share-based payment awards made to employees and directors based on estimated fair values using the modified prospective transition method. SFAS No. 123(R) requires companies to estimate the fair value of share-based payment awards to employees and directors on the date of grant using an option pricing model. The value of the portion of the award that is ultimately expected to vest is recognized as expense over the requisite services periods on a straight-line basis in the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Operations. Prior to the adoption of SFAS No. 123(R), the Company accounted for stock-based awards to employees and directors using the intrinsic value method in accordance with Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25 as allowed under SFAS No. 123.

The Company elected to adopt the detailed method provided in SFAS No. 123(R) for calculating the beginning balance of the additional paid-in capital pool (“APIC pool”) related to the tax effects of employee stock-based compensation, and to determine the subsequent impact on the APIC pool and Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows of the income tax effects of employee stock-based compensation awards that are outstanding upon the adoption of SFAS No. 123(R).

The fair value of each stock option granted is estimated on the date of the grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The Black-Scholes option pricing model has assumptions for risk free interest rates, dividends, stock volatility and expected life of an option grant. The risk free interest rate is based upon market yields for United States Treasury debt securities at a maturity near the term remaining on the option. Dividend rates are based on the Company’s dividend history. The stock volatility factor is based on the historical volatility of the Company’s stock price. The expected life of an option grant is based on management’s estimate as no options have been exercised in the Plan to date. The Company has calculated a forfeiture rate for employees and directors based on historical information. A forfeiture rate of 0% is used for options granted to consultants. The fair value of each option grant to employees, directors and consultants is calculated by the Black-Scholes method and is recognized as compensation expense on a straight-line basis over the vesting period of each stock option award. For stock options issued, including those issued to employees, directors , consultants and advisory board members during 2008 and 2007, the fair value was estimated at the date of grant using the following range of assumptions:


	December 31,		December 31,
	2008		2007
Risk free interest rate		3.28% – 3.42%		3.80% – 5.12%
Dividends		0%		0%
Volatility factor		118.81% – 122.90%		116.45% – 125.13%
Expected life	6.67 years		6.67 years
Annual forfeiture rate		0% – 16.3%		0% – 6%

Effective March 1, 2008, certain employees of the Company were terminated and were hired by a subcontractor of the Company. Since these former employees continue to provide consulting services to the Company while employed by the subcontractor, the stock options previously granted to these employees will continue to vest. However, since these individuals are no longer employees of the Company, the stock option type changed from being an incentive stock option to being a non-qualifying stock option. As such, as of December 31, 2008, stock options totaling 1,447,000 shares have been reclassified from the “Employee and Director Option Grants” table to the “Consultant Option Grants” table that follows.

Direct Methanol Fuel Cell Corporation 2002 Stock Option / Stock Issuance Plan

DMFCC formed a stock-based compensation plan in 2002 entitled the 2002 Stock Option / Stock Issuance Plan (the “DMFCC Option Plan”) that reserved 2,000,000 shares of DMFCC common stock for issuance to employees, non-employee members of the board of directors of DMFCC, board members of its parent company, consultants, and other independent advisors. As of December 31, 2008, options to purchase 1,396,000 shares of DMFCC common stock were outstanding and 604,000 shares remained available for grant under the DMFCC Option Plan. Of these outstanding options, 1,030,000 are incentive stock options issued to employees and 366,000 are non-statutory stock options issued to consultants. During 2008, DMFCC issued no stock options. DMFCC uses the Black-Scholes option pricing model to calculate the fair market value of each option granted. The Black-Scholes option pricing model includes assumptions for risk free interest rates, dividends, stock volatility and expected life of an option grant. For stock options that are issued, the fair value of each option grant is recognized as compensation expense on a straight-line basis over the vesting period of each stock option award.

Warrants

YA Global and Gilford Warrants

On November 2, 2006, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the “SPA”) with YA Global Investments, L.P., formerly known as Cornell Capital Partners, L.P. (“YA Global”), a Delaware limited partnership. We agreed to issue and sell to YA Global $3,800,000 principal amount of secured convertible debentures (the “Debentures”) in three tranches, which were to be convertible into shares of our common stock. In connection with the SPA, we also issued to YA Global, (1) a warrant to purchase 1,500,000 shares of our common stock for a period of five years at an exercise price of $0.50 per share; (2) a warrant to purchase 2,000,000 shares of our common stock for a period of five years at an exercise price of $0.60 per share; (3) a warrant to purchase 885,000 shares of our common stock for a period of five years at an exercise price of $0.75 per share; (4) a warrant to purchase 790,000 shares of our common stock for a period of five years at an exercise price of $0.95 per share; and (5) a warrant to purchase 600,000 shares of our common stock for a period of five years at an exercise price of $1.15 per share. Pursuant to an engagement letter we entered into with Gilford Securities Incorporated (“Gilford”) relating to the Debentures, we issued to Gilford warrants to purchase up to 506,666 shares of our restricted unregistered common stock at $0.60 per share (the “Gilford Warrants”).

On March 8, 2007, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the “New SPA”) with YA Global in order to restructure the original deal. We issued and sold to YA Global, 5,175,000 Class A Units and 600,000 Class B Units for an aggregate purchase price of $3,690,000, which includes the conversion of the Debentures of the Company held by the Buyer in an aggregate amount of $2,700,000 and cash in the amount of $990,000. Each Class A Unit is comprised of 2.2609 shares of common stock, $0.001 par value per share, and one (1) Class A Warrant to purchase one (1) share of common stock at an exercise price of $0.30. Each Class B Unit is comprised of one (1) share of common stock, and one (1) Class B Warrant to purchase one (1) share of common stock at an exercise price of $0.40. The Warrants are exercisable for 5 years from their dates of issuance.

F-21

The delivery of the Class A and Class B Warrants pursuant to the New SPA, was satisfied by amending the exercise price of the 5,775,000 warrants to purchase common stock issued by the Company to YA Global in connection with the SPA dated November 2, 2006, and the delivery of 850,592 shares of common stock was satisfied by an issuance of 850,592 shares of common stock that was made to the Buyer in November 2006. Additional shares of common stock totaling 11,449,408 shares were issued to YA Global on March 8, 2007. The total common shares to be issued to YA Global in connection with the New SPA were 12,300,000 shares. On March 8, 2007, the Company received net proceeds of $910,800 related to the New SPA, which reflects a placement fee of 8% of the proceeds.

In connection with the New SPA, we also amended the exercise price of an aggregate of 5,775,000 warrants to purchase common stock that are held by YA Global. Such warrants were amended as follows: the exercise price of 1,500,000 of the warrants was amended from $0.50 to $0.30; the exercise price of 2,000,000 of the warrants was amended from $0.60 to $0.30; the exercise price of 885,000 of the warrants was amended from $0.75 to $0.30; the exercise price of 790,000 of the warrants was amended from $0.95 to $0.30, and the exercise price of 600,000 of the warrants was amended from $1.15 to $0.40.

Pursuant to an the engagement letter entered into with Gilford, in connection with the New SPA we paid a cash fee of 8% of the proceeds and issued additional warrants to Gilford to purchase up to 264,000 shares of common stock at $0.30 per share.

YA Global exercised 22,173 warrants on January 9, 2008 and sent $1,000 to the Company. On January 15, 2008, YA Global exercised 5,741,452 warrants and sent $258,939 to the Company. The Company notified YA Global that the exercise price of the warrants that they used was incorrect. The Company’s opinion was that YA Global still owed the Company $1,531,500 since YA Global did not remit to the Company the proper amount of proceeds for the exercise price for the warrants.

On April 24, 2008, YA Global served a complaint (the “Complaint”) against the Company claiming it is entitled to additional warrants at a price lower than the revised exercise price of the warrants that was established on March 7, 2007. The Company’s position was that the subsequent sales of common stock entered into by the Company were non-qualified sales and thus YA Global was not entitled to a reset in the number of warrants or the exercise price of the warrants.

On September 8, 2008, the Company and YA Global and another related party entered into a Settlement Agreement (the “Agreement”) whereby the parties agreed, subject to certain conditions, to completely and forever settle any and all of their disputes and claims with each other as well as render null and void any and all prior agreements between the parties including the warrant agreements dated November 2, 2006, amendment to warrant agreement dated March 7, 2007, New SPA, Registration Rights Agreement dated March 7, 2007, and Irrevocable Transfer Agent Instructions dated November 2, 2006. The Agreement provides for full and complete resolution of the dispute under the Complaint subject only to certain conditions being fulfilled related to delivery and execution of consideration under the Agreement. As a result, other than what was agreed to be provided under the terms of the Agreement, the Company has no continuing obligation to YA Global.

Pursuant to the Agreement, the Company issued YA Global 22,500,000 restricted shares of Company common stock (“Shares”). As a condition to the Agreement, YA Global has a right to pursue the removal of the restrictive legend on the Shares by several means including (i) a Fairness Hearing pursuant to Section 3(a) (10) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended in New Jersey; (ii) an SEC Rule 144 legal opinion; or (iii) a registration statement. The Agreement further provides, that in certain, limited circumstances arising from defined events of default, the Company may be required to issue additional shares (not to exceed 22,500,000 shares) to YA Global if the default is not cured within the prescribed time period. On October 24, 2008, a Fairness Hearing was held which allowed YA Global the right to remove the restrictive legend of 22,500,000 shares. The restricted shares issued to YA Global had a fair market value on the date of grant of $630,000 which amount was recorded to litigation settlement expense in the Company’s accompanying consolidated statement of operations. After this Agreement, the Company has no other business relationship with YA Global.

On September 10, 2007, the Company issued a Promissory Note (the “Note”) to Rhino Steel Manufacturing Ltd., company organized under the laws of the British Virgin Islands, and a shareholder of the Company, in the aggregate principal amount of $250,000. The Note was due and payable on the earlier of (a) December 10, 2007 (the “Maturity Date”) or (b) the occurrence of an Event of Default as defined in the Note, provided, however, that the Note Holder at its option on or after the Maturity Date, may convert this Note into another three-month Note under the same terms and conditions as this Note.

The maturity date of the Note was extended until July 10, 2009 after agreement by both parties. On May 30, 2008, SNK Capital Trust (“SNK”), a Bahamas company, purchased the Note. All terms and conditions remained the same. On December 21, 2008, as part of a sale of certain assets to Knovitech, Inc. as explained more fully in Note 10, the Note and all accrued interest expense was forgiven. This amount was included in the gain on sale of assets of $452,000 which amount is included in other income on the Company’s consolidated statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2008.

La Jolla Cove Investors, Inc.

On October 18, 2007, the Company issued a Promissory Note (the “LJC Note”) to La Jolla Cove Investors, Inc. (“La Jolla”) in the aggregate principal amount of $300,000. The LJC Note is due and payable on the earlier of (a) 60 days following the date of the issuance of the LJC Note, or (b) the occurrence of an Event of Default as defined in the LJC Note. Interest shall accrue at a rate of four and three-quarters percent (4.75%) per annum and shall be due and payable on the 15th day of each month following the month of issuance. The Company may voluntarily prepay the LJC Note in whole or in part at any time and from time to time without penalty, together with interest accrued on the amount prepaid through the date of the prepayment. The LJC Note is unsecured and does not encumber any assets of the Company.

Pursuant to the terms of the LJC Note, La Jolla was to fund, in exchange for the simultaneous issuance by the Company of promissory notes in the same form as this LJC Note, $300,000 upon each date that is 30, 60, 90, 120 and 150 days after the date of issuance of this LJC Note (the “Additional Fundings”); provided however, that in the event that La Jolla does not fund the amounts associated with any or all of the Additional Fundings within 10 business days of the date such amounts would otherwise be due, La Jolla shall pay an amount equal to $50,000 (the “Non-Funding Penalty”) to the Company. Upon the payment of the Non-Funding Penalty to the Company, the La Jolla would have no further obligations or duties under this LJC Note or any promissory note associated with Additional Fundings, if any, provided however, that the Company shall remain obligated and bound by the terms and conditions of this LJC Note and the promissory notes issued in connection with any Additional Funding, if any, including without limitation any obligation to repay any sums delivered in connection with such promissory notes. The Company’s sole and exclusive remedy in the event that La Jolla fails to fund any or all of the Additional Fundings shall be the right of the Company to receive the Non-Funding Penalty from La Jolla. Each promissory note delivered in connection with an Additional Funding will have a maturity date that is 60 days from the date of issuance and will bear interest at a rate of four and three-quarters percent (4.75%) per annum.

F-23

The Company received $900,000 from La Jolla representing three payments on the LJC Note since it was issued. We received $300,000 each on October 18, 2007, November 20, 2007 and January 4, 2008. During 2007, the Company repaid $350,000 from the proceeds generated by the Company by selling shares of the Company’s common stock to La Jolla. During 2008, the Company repaid $175,000 from the proceeds generated by the Company by selling shares of the Company’s common stock to La Jolla. In addition, through June 24, 2008, the Company repaid La Jolla $150,000 in cash.

On March 25, 2008, La Jolla and the Company amended the LJC Note and entered into a Settlement Agreement and General Release (the “LJC Settlement Agreement”). In exchange for La Jolla agreeing to extend the due date of the outstanding note balance and accrued interest until June 9, 2008, the Company agreed to waive the Non-Funding Penalty. La Jolla was also under no further obligations to fund any additional amounts under the LJC Note.

NOTE 14— INCOME TAX

United States Income Taxes

On January 1, 2007, the Company adopted FIN 48. There were no unrecognized tax benefits as of January 1, 2007, the date FIN 48 was adopted. As such, there was no reduction to the deferred tax assets and corresponding reduction to the valuation allowance, which resulted in no net effect on accumulated deficit. If any unrecognized benefit would have been recognized, it would not affect the Company’s effective tax rate since the Company is currently subject to a full valuation allowance.

The Company’s practice is to recognize interest and/or penalties related to income tax matters in income tax expense. The Company has accrued zero for interest and penalties at December 31, 2008. As of the date of these financial statements, the 2006, 2005, and 2004 income tax years are open to the possibility of examination by federal, state, or local taxing authorities.

The Company did not record a provision for income taxes for 2008 or 2007 as a result of operating losses for the current fiscal year. The Company has recorded valuation allowances to fully reserve its deferred tax assets, as management believes it is more likely than not that these assets will not be realized. It is possible that management’s estimates as to the likelihood of realization of its deferred tax assets could change as a result of changes in estimated operating results. Should management conclude that it is more likely than not that these deferred tax assets are, at least in part, realizable, the valuation allowance will be reduced and recognized as a deferred income tax benefit in the statement of operations in the period of change.

At December 31, 2008, the Company had net Federal and State net operating loss carry forwards of approximately $16,243,000 and $16,151,000, respectively, as compared to $8,798,000 and $8,719,000 net Federal and State net operating loss carry forwards, respectively, at December 31, 2007. The net operating loss carry forwards may be applied against future taxable income and expire through 2028. The utilization of net operating loss carry forwards may be limited if changes occur in the Company’s ownership under the provisions of the Internal Revenue Code and similar state provisions.

The Company is required to pay certain minimum franchise taxes based on the Company’s State of incorporation. These franchise taxes are included in selling, general and administrative expenses in the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Operations and were $4,000 and $5,000 in 2008 and 2007, respectively.

F-25

The amount of any ultimate realization of the benefits from the net operating loss carry forwards for income tax purposes is dependent in part upon the tax laws in effect, the future earnings of the Company and other events. In accordance with SFAS No. 109, due to uncertainty regarding the realization of net operating loss carryforwards, the Company has established a valuation allowance equal to the tax effect of the loss carry forwards and, therefore no deferred tax asset has been recognized for the loss carry forwards. A reconciliation of the statutory Federal income tax rate and the effective tax rate for the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007 follows:


	2008			2007
Statutory Federal income tax rate		34	%		34	%
State income taxes (net of Federal benefit)		5	%		3	%
Permanent differences		(3	%)		(13	%)

Note 15 — RETIREMENT PLAN

Note 16— OPERATING SEGMENTS

The Company evaluates its reportable segments in accordance with SFAS No. 131, “Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information” (“SFAS No. 131”). For the year ended December 31, 2008, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, Dr. Carl Kukkonen, was the Company’s Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”) pursuant to SFAS No. 131. The CODM allocates resources to the segments based on their business prospects, product development and engineering, and marketing and strategy.

In public filings prior to the Form 10-Q filed for the period ended June 30, 2008, the Company reported four segments of operations. Effective with the filing of the Form 10-Q for the period ended June 30, 2008, the Company reorganized its reportable segments into two reportable segments which operated in two distinct market areas. The Company’s reportable segments at that time were Energy and Security. The operations of DMFCC and VIASPACE Corporate’s energy related business are included in the Energy segment. The operations of VIASPACE Security, Ionfinity and VIASPACE Corporate’s security related business are included in the Security segment.

Effective with the acquisition of IPA by VGE on October 21, 2008, the Company has added two additional reportable segments. One is the framed-artwork segment which specializes in manufacturing and selling high-quality, copyrighted, framed artwork to retail stores. In addition, there is a grass business segment, which plans to grow, harvest and sell Giant King Grass as a livestock feed as well as a future feedstock for biofuel production.

Energy Segment:

(i)

DMFCC: DMFCC is a provider of disposable fuel cartridges and intellectual property protection for manufacturers of direct methanol and other liquid hydrocarbon fuel cells. Direct methanol fuel cells are replacements for traditional batteries and are expected to gain a substantial market share because they offer longer operating time as compared to current lithium ion batteries and may be instantaneously recharged by simply replacing the disposable fuel cartridge. Direct methanol fuel cell-based products are being developed for laptop computers, cell phones, music players and other applications by major manufacturers of portable electronics in Japan and Korea.

(ii)

VIASPACE Corporate: VIASPACE Corporate is identifying and pursuing additional business opportunities in areas including fuel cell test equipment such as a relative humidity sensor, batteries and battery test equipment, alternative fuels, and new products to conserve energy and reduce emissions.

Security Segment:

(i)

VIASPACE Security: VIASPACE Security is developing products and services based on inference and sensor data fusion technology. Sensor fusion combines data, observations, and inferences derived from multiple sources and sensors to generate reliable decision-support information in critical applications where solution speed and confidence is of the utmost importance. In addition, VIASPACE Security is pursuing sales of a perimeter surveillance radar solution based on a low power Doppler radar designed for commercial perimeter security applications. This radar solution is specifically optimized and ideal for monitoring activity surrounding or around critical infrastructure areas such as airports, seaports, military installations, national borders, refineries and other critical industry.

(ii)

Ionfinity: Ionfinity is working on a next-generation mass spectrometry technology, which could significantly improve the application of mass spectrometry for industrial process control and environmental monitoring and could also spawn a new class of detection systems for homeland security.

(iii)

VIASPACE Corporate: VIASPACE Corporate is identifying and pursuing additional business opportunities in areas including protection of critical infrastructure assets including energy facilities, port security and airports. VIASPACE Corporate is also developing products and services based on inference and sensor data fusion technology.

F-27

Framed-Artwork Segment:

(i)

VGE: Through IPA, VGE specializes in manufacturing in the PRC high-quality, copyrighted, framed artwork which is sold to retail stores in the U.S.

Grass Segment:

(i)

VGE: VGE is growing, harvesting and plans to sell Giant King Grass as a livestock feed as well as a future feedstock for biofuel production.

The accounting policies of the reportable segments are the same as those described in the summary of significant accounting policies (see Note 1 to these financial statements). The Company evaluates segment performance based on income (loss) from operations excluding infrequent and unusual items.

The amounts shown as “Corporate Administrative Costs” consist of unallocated corporate-level operating expenses. In addition, the Company does not allocate other income/expense, net to reportable segments.

NOTE 17— NET LOSS PER SHARE

The Company computes net loss per share in accordance with SFAS No. 128, “Earnings Per Share” (“SFAS No. 128”). Under the provision of SFAS No. 128, basic loss per share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the periods presented. Diluted earnings would customarily include, if dilutive, potential shares of common stock issuable upon the exercise of stock options and warrants. The dilutive effect of outstanding stock options and warrants is reflected in earnings per share in accordance with SFAS No. 128 by application of the treasury stock method. For the periods presented, the computation of diluted loss per share equaled basic loss per share as the inclusion of any dilutive instruments would have had an antidilutive effect on the earnings per share calculation in the periods presented.

The following table sets forth common stock equivalents (potential common stock) for 2008 and 2007 that are not included in the loss per share calculation since their effect would be anti-dilutive for the periods indicated:


	2008		2007

Stock Options		8,130,000		11,516,000
Warrants		1,024,000		6,387,625

The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted net loss per share for the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively:

Leases

On May 1, 2006, the Company relocated its office and laboratory space to a new location and entered into a five year lease. Future minimum lease payments due under this lease are as follows at December 31, 2008:


	Years Ended
Fiscal Year	December 31,
2009	$	96,000
2010		96,000

Operations in the PRC

IPA China’s operations in the PRC are subject to specific considerations and significant risks not typically associated with companies in the North America and Western Europe. These include risks associated with, among others, the political, economic and legal environments and foreign currency exchange. The Company’s results may be adversely affected by changes in governmental policies with respect to laws and regulations, anti-inflationary measures, currency conversion and remittance abroad, and rates and methods of taxation, among other things.

The Company’s sales, purchases and expenses transactions are denominated in RMB and all of the Company’s assets and liabilities are also denominated in RMB. The RMB is not freely convertible into foreign currencies under the current law. In China, foreign exchange transactions are required by law to be transacted only by authorized financial institutions. Remittances in currencies other than RMB may require certain supporting documentation in order to affect the remittance.

Litigation

The Company is not party to any legal proceedings at the present time.

Note 20— FINANCIAL ACCOUNTING DEVELOPMENTS

In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities” (“SFAS No. 159”) which permits entities to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value that are not currently required to be measured at fair value. SFAS No. 159 was effective for us on January 1, 2008. The adoption of SFAS No. 159 did not have a significant impact on our financial position, cash flows, and results of operations.

In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141 (Revised 2007), “Business Combinations.” SFAS No. 141 (Revised 2007) changes how a reporting enterprise accounts for the acquisition of a business. SFAS No. 141 (Revised 2007) requires an acquiring entity to recognize all the assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a transaction at the acquisition-date fair value, with limited exceptions, and applies to a wider range of transactions or events. SFAS No. 141 (Revised 2007) is effective for fiscal years beginning on or after December 15, 2008 and early adoption and retrospective application is prohibited.

In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160, “Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements”, which is an amendment of Accounting Research Bulletin (“ARB”) No. 51. This statement clarifies that a noncontrolling interest in a subsidiary is an ownership interest in the consolidated entity that should be reported as equity in the consolidated financial statements. This statement changes the way the consolidated income statement is presented, thus requiring consolidated net income to be reported at amounts that include the amounts attributable to both parent and the noncontrolling interest. This statement is effective for the fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning on or after December 15, 2008. Based on current conditions, the Company does not expect the adoption of SFAS 160 to have a significant impact on its results of operations or financial position.

In March 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 161, “Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities an amendment of FASB Statement No. 133.” SFAS 161 changes the disclosure requirements for derivative instruments and hedging activities. Entities are required to provide enhanced disclosures about (a) how and why an entity uses derivative instruments, (b) how derivative instruments and related hedged items are accounted for under SFAS 133 and its related interpretations, and (c) how derivative instruments and related hedged items affect an entity’s financial position, financial performance, and cash flows. Based on current conditions, the Company does not expect the adoption of SFAS 161 to have a significant impact on its results of operations or financial position.

F-31

In April 2008, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position (“FSP”) SFAS No. 142-3, “Determination of the Useful Life of Intangible Assets”. This FSP amends the factors that should be considered in developing renewal or extension assumptions used to determine the useful life of a recognized intangible asset under FASB Statement No. 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets” (“SFAS 142”). The intent of this FSP is to improve the consistency between the useful life of a recognized intangible asset under SFAS 142 and the period of expected cash flows used to measure the fair value of the asset under SFAS 141R, and other GAAP. This FSP is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is prohibited. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of SFAS FSP 142-3, but does not expect the adoption of this pronouncement will have a material impact on its financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

In May 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 162, “The Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles.” SFAS 162 identifies the sources of accounting principles and the framework for selecting the principles to be used in the preparation of financial statements of nongovernmental entities that are presented in conformity with United States GAAP. SFAS 162 will not have an impact on the Company’s financial statements.

In May 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 163, “Accounting for Financial Guarantee Insurance Contracts, an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 60.” The scope of SFAS 163 is limited to financial guarantee insurance (and reinsurance) contracts, as described in this Statement, issued by enterprises included within the scope of Statement 60. Accordingly, SFAS 163 does not apply to financial guarantee contracts issued by enterprises excluded from the scope of Statement 60 or to some insurance contracts that seem similar to financial guarantee insurance contracts issued by insurance enterprises (such as mortgage guaranty insurance or credit insurance on trade receivables). SFAS 163 also does not apply to financial guarantee insurance contracts that are derivative instruments included within the scope of FASB Statement No. 133, “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities.” SFAS 163 will not have an impact on the Company’s financial statements.

Note 21— GOING CONCERN

As reflected in the accompanying consolidated financial statements, the Company has a net loss, negative cash flows from operations and a stockholders’ deficit which raises doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern and fund cash requirements for operations through March 31, 2010. The financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded assets, or the amounts of and classification of liabilities that might be necessary in the event the Company is unable to continue in existence. Management is addressing this situation by focusing on three current business areas including the grass business, framed-artwork business and fuel cell business. On October 31, 2008, the Company laid off certain of its staff to reduce operating expenses. During 2009, the Company is focusing on completing the second closing of the IPA transaction. If accomplished, the Company should have positive cash flow from operations with no need for additional outside financing.
