Form 10-KSB for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2007
Form 10-QSB for the quarterly period ended December 31, 2007
File No. 000-10707


Gentlemen:

In reply to your letter dated March 12, 2008 concerning the above-referenced filings, this firm provides the following responses and information on behalf of Thermodynetics, Inc. (the "Company"). The responses are a compilation of information assembled from the Company, its auditors and attorneys. This letter is being issued as written correspondence for submission on the Edgar system.

     A. Form 10-K SB for the Fiscal Year Ended March 31, 2007

Note 22 – Discontinued Operations, page 22

1.     

The specific nature and amount of each material component of the “long-term payables” of $2,782,195 consists entirely of unsecured trade accounts payable.

 
 

In response to bullet points 2, 4 and 5 of comment 1, our response is as follow:

 
 

As of March 31, 2007, Vulcan had liquidated all assets and satisfied all secured creditors. The March 31, 2007 balance sheet of Vulcan has only the remaining $2,782,195 of unsecured accounts payable. There are no assets available for these unsecured creditors and they will not be paid. These payables are classified as long-term liabilities since they will never be paid and will be “derecognized” in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles when the Company is "legally released from being the primary obligor, either judicially or by the creditor" at which point these liabilities will be extinguished. The Company believes Vulcan (and therefore the Company) will be released from being an obligor on these liabilities when the applicable state and federal statues of limitations expire. Each liability will be derecognized based on its specific governing laws which vary and can be as many as 6 years.

   
   
  The table attached hereto and labeled "Vulcan Industries, Inc. Court Actions" reflects the actual pending or adjudicated legal proceedings.
In response to your comments, all amounts are included within the $2.7 million described above. As explained, there are no expectations that additional sums will be claimed, or expensed, or added to the $2.7 million amount already included on the Company’s financial statements.
