Item 8.01 Other Events.

     On December 23, 2008, Tvia, Inc. (the “Company”) accepted a purchase order for certain existing inventory and new product. Pursuant to this purchase order and a smaller related order placed during November 2008, the Company may receive up to approximately $770,000, payable within 30 days of the fulfillment of its obligations thereunder. Over 50% of the product sold under these purchase orders is expected to consist of existing inventory. Shipments under these purchase orders are scheduled to be delivered between February and April of 2009.

      The Company has communicated to its customers that, due to the uncertainty of the Company’s future operations as a result of the Company having filed a voluntary petition for reorganization under Chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code, its products may be considered as “end of life” and that the future availability of its products cannot be predicted. The Company believes that the purchase orders referred to above, as well as the purchase order described in the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on December 16, 2008, may have been entered into as a result of or otherwise affected by this communication. Consequently, these purchase orders may not be indicative of the size or frequency of future orders.
