NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

March 31, 2011 (Unaudited) and December 31, 2010 (Audited)

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. Through our majority owned subsidiaries, we operate four separate businesses. We have a majority ownership in VIASPACE Green Energy Inc., a British Virgin Islands (“BVI”) international business company (“VGE”) which is the parent company of Inter Pacific Arts Corporation, a BVI international business company (“IPA BVI”) and Guangzhou Inter Pacific Arts, a Peoples Republic of China (“PRC”) company (“IPA China”). IPA China is a wholly-owned foreign enterprise headquartered in Guangdong province of China. IPA BVI owns all equity interests of IPA China. IPA BVI and IPA China specialize in the manufacturing of high quality, copyrighted, framed artwork sold in US retail chain stores.

IPA China also has a sublicense to a fast-growing, high yield, low carbon, nonfood energy crop called Giant King TM Grass (“GKG”) which can be burned in 100% biomass power plants to generate electricity; made into pellets that can be burned together with coal to reduce carbon emissions from existing power plants; generate bio methane through anaerobic digestion, and can be used as a feedstock for low carbon liquid biofuels for transportation, biochemicals and bio plastics. Cellulosic ethanol, bio butanol and other liquid biofuels, collectively called Grassoline, do not use corn or other food sources as feedstock. GKG can also be used as animal feed. GKG and other plants absorb and store carbon dioxide from the atmosphere as they grow. When they are burned, they release the carbon dioxide back into the atmosphere, but it is the same carbon dioxide that was removed from the atmosphere, and that the process is carbon neutral. Small amounts of fossil fuel are used by the farm equipment, transportation of GKG and fertilizer, so that the overall process has some carbon dioxide emissions, but much lower than burning coal or other fossil fuels directly. GKG has been independently tested by customers and been shown to have excellent energy content, very high bio methane production, and high potential for biofuels and biochemicals.

We are growing GKG on approximately 280 acres of leased land in China to serve as a nursery to provide seedlings for large bioenergy projects, a demonstration plantation for potential partners and customers to visit, to provide samples for testing by potential customers, and as a grass source for our own Green Log TM product.

We also produce disposable fuel cartridges that provide the energy source for portable electronics powered by fuel cells. We do not make fuel cells, but instead we make disposable fuel cartridges for fuel cell and electronics manufacturers such as Samsung. We are also working on a next-generation mass spectrometry technology for industrial process control and environmental monitoring.

VIASPACE is based in California with business activities in China, Korea and Japan.

Company Background - ViaSpace Technologies LLC (“ViaSpace LLC”) was founded in July 1998 as a private company to commercialize proven space and defense technologies from NASA and the Department of Defense. ViaSpace LLC had licensed patents, and software technology from California Institute of Technology (“Caltech”), which manages the Jet Propulsion Laboratory (“JPL”) for NASA. On June 22, 2005, ViaSpace LLC acquired the non-operating shell company Global-Wide Publication Ltd. (“GW”). GW was incorporated in the State of Nevada on July 14, 2003. At merger, GW was renamed VIASPACE Inc. The transaction was accounted for as a reverse merger and a recapitalization of the Company. VIASPACE became a public company on June 22, 2005.

Going Concern - At March 31, 2011, the Company has negative working capital of $8,000 and an accumulated deficit of $36,329,000. Our financial statements were 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 differ from the amounts in our financial statements.

Basis of Presentation – The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements of the Company were prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles (“US GAAP”) for financial information and with Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) instructions to Form 10-Q. Accordingly, the unaudited financial statements do not include all of the information and footnotes required by US GAAP. Operating results for the three ended March 31, 2011 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2011. For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K, for the year ended December 31, 2010. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been reflected in these interim financial statements. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated on consolidation. Certain reclassifications were made to the March 31, 2010 consolidated financial statements, to conform to the March 31, 2011 consolidated financial statement presentation.

Noncontrolling Interest - Certain amounts presented for prior periods previously designated minority interest were reclassified to conform to the current year presentation. The Company follows “Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements, codified in FASB Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 810 which established new standards governing the accounting for and reporting of noncontrolling interests (“NCIs”) in partially owned consolidated subsidiaries and the loss of control of subsidiaries. Certain provisions of this standard indicate, among other things, that NCIs (previously referred to as minority interests) be treated as a separate component of equity, not as a liability (as was previously the case); that increases and decreases in the parent’s ownership interest that leave control intact be treated as equity transactions, rather than as step acquisitions or dilution gains or losses; and that losses of a partially owned consolidated subsidiary be allocated to the NCI even when such allocation might result in a deficit balance. This standard also required changes to certain presentation and disclosure requirements. The provisions of the standard were applied to all NCIs prospectively, except for the presentation and disclosure requirements, which were applied retrospectively to all periods presented. As a result, upon adoption, the Company retroactively reclassified the “Minority interest” previously included in the “Other liabilities” section of the consolidated balance sheet to a new component of equity with respect to NCIs in consolidated subsidiaries. The adoption also impacted certain captions previously used on the consolidated statement of income and other comprehensive income, largely identifying net income including NCI and net income attributable to the Company.

Noncontrolling interest in consolidated subsidiaries is the minority stockholders’ proportionate share of equity of Direct Methanol Fuel Corporation (“DMFCC”), Ionfinity LLC (“Ionfinity”) and VGE. The Company’s controlling interest requires the results of these companies’ operations be included in the consolidated financial statements. The percentage of DMFCC, Ionfinity and VGE not owned by the Company is shown as NCI in the Consolidated Statement of Operations and Consolidated Balance Sheet. At March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010, the Company recorded $500,000 as NCI for an investment in DMFCC by a minority shareholder. At March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010, the Company recorded $2,024,000 and $2,104,000, respectively, representing Common Shareholder NCIs in Ionfinity and VGE.

Principles of Consolidation - The Company is generally a founding shareholder of its affiliated companies which are consolidated. Affiliated companies include VGE, DMFCC and Ionfinity in which the Company owns, directly or indirectly, a controlling voting interest, are consolidated. 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 adopted “Business Combinations”, codified in FASB ASC Topic 805, which requires use of the purchase method for all business combinations.

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 US 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.

Cash and 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 “Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities”, codified in FASB ASC Topic 320. This Topic provides accounting and disclosure guidance for investments in equity securities that have readily determinable fair values and all debt securities. It 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 March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010, the Company did not have any marketable securities.

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.

The following is a summary of inventory at March 31, 2011:

	Raw Materials		Finished Goods		Total
Framed-Artwork	$	761,000	$	―	$	761,000
Grass		78,000		13,000		91,000
Total	$	839,000	$	13,000	$	852,000

The following is a summary of inventory at December 31, 2010:

	Raw Materials		Finished Goods		Total
Framed-Artwork	$	460,000	$	―	$	460,000
Grass		78,000		13,000		91,000
Total	$	538,000	$	13,000	$	551,000

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 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 land use rights for the land occupied by its manufacturing facility in 2005. As of March 31, 2011, VGE has land use rights of approximately 113 hectares, or 280 acres in Guangdong province of the PRC.

License – IPA China has a worldwide license for a fast-growing, high yield, low carbon, nonfood energy crop called GKG which can be burned in 100% biomass power plants to generate electricity; made into pellets that can be burned together with coal to reduce carbon emissions from existing power plants; generate bio methane through anaerobic digestion, and can be used as a feedstock for low carbon liquid biofuels for transportation. IPA China sublicensed this right from China Gate Technology Co., Ltd. which obtained the original license from the inventor. IPA China did not directly pay for the license. VIASPACE issued shares of its common stock to Licensor upon the acquisition of IPA China by VIASPACE and VGE on October 21, 2008 to pay for the license.

Intangible Assets - The Company’s intangible assets consist of licenses to patents that are amortized through the expiration date of the patents (up to twenty 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 “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets”, codified in FASB ASC Topic 360.

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.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments - “Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments,” codified in FASB ASC Topic 85, requires the Company disclose estimated fair values of financial instruments at least annually. The recorded value of accounts receivables, related party receivables, related party payables, 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 “Accounting for Income Taxes,” codified in FASB ASC Topic 740, which requires recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for expected future tax consequences of events 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 2011. IPA BVI and VGE are BVI international companies and not subject to any US 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 on product shipments. In compliance with SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin (“SAB”) 104 and in accordance with “Revenue Recognition”, codified in FASB ASC Topic 605, VIASPACE recognizes 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, any cash received would be recorded as deferred revenue on the Company’s Balance Sheet.

Product Development Revenue on Fixed-Price Contracts With Milestone Values Defined . Ionfinity has generated revenues from fixed-price 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 “Revenue Arrangements with Multiple Deliverables”, codified in FASB ASC Topic 605. In accordance with this topic, the Company treats each milestone as an individual revenue agreement and only recognizes revenue for each milestone when all required revenue recognition conditions are met.

Framed art sales. In accordance with FASB ASC Topic 605, IPA BVI and IPA China 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 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 Revenues – Cost of revenues 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 were 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.

Segment Reporting and Geographic Information – "Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information", codified in FASB ASC Topic 280, 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, DMFCC and VGE have stock-based compensation plans. The Company has adopted the accounting and disclosure provisions of “Share-Based Payments”, codified in FASB ASC Topic 718, 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 FASB ASC Topic 505-50, “Accounting for Equity Instruments that are Issued to Other than Employees for Acquiring, or in Conjunction with Selling Goods or Services” and “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 FASB ASC Topic 505-50, an asset acquired 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.

Net Income (Loss) Per Share - The Company computes net loss per share in accordance with “Earnings per Share”, codified in FASB ASC Topic 260. Under the provisions of this topic, 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.

Reclassifications – Certain prior year amounts were reclassified to conform to the manner of presentation in the current period.

NOTE 8 — 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 issuance of up to 28,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock. On July 12, 2006, the Company filed a Form S-8 Registration Statement with the SEC registering 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 increased the maximum number of shares which may be issued under the Plan to 99,000,000. On April 30, 2008, the Company filed a Registration Statement on Form S-8 registering 71,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock. In addition, effective January 1, 2009 and each January 1 thereafter during the term of the Plan, the maximum number of shares under the Plan are to be increased so that the maximum 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. On February 4, 2009, the Company filed a Registration Statement on Form S-8 registering 146,500,000 shares of the Company’s common stock based on the number of shares of common stock outstanding on December 31, 2008.

The Plan is designed to provide additional incentive to employees, directors and consultants of the Company through awarding 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 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, to outside members of the Board that have served at least six months.

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 Plan generally cannot be granted with an exercise price of less than 100% of the fair market value on the grant date. The term of the options granted under the Plan cannot be greater than 10 years. Options to employees and directors generally vest over four years but the actual length of the vesting term is determined by the Board. 62,955,733 shares were available for future grant at March 31, 2011.

For the three months ended March 31, 2011, the Company issued 5,344,408 shares of common stock, respectively, under the Plan to employees for services provided to the Company. Stock compensation expense of $65,000 was recorded relating to these share issuances and based on fair market value on the date of grant.

FASB ASC Topic 718 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. FASB ASC Topic 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.

The Company adopted the detailed method provided in FASB ASC Topic 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 FASB ASC Topic.

During the first quarter of 2011, no stock options were granted. During this same period, no stock options were cancelled due to employees, directors or consultants terminating employment or service with the Company.

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 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 to employees, directors, consultants and advisory board members for 2010, the fair value was estimated at the date of grant using the following range of assumptions:

	2010
Risk free interest rate		3.11%
Dividends		0%
Volatility factor		130.43%
Expected life	6.67 years
Annual forfeiture rate		16.1%

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 March 31, 2011, 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 the period ended March 31, 2011, 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.

The VGE 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. The VGE Board administers the VGE 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 VGE Plan 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 generally vest over a period determined by the VGE Board. 50,000 shares were available for future grant at March 31, 2011. There were no stock options issued during the three months ended March 31, 2011. There were no stock options cancelled during 2011.

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 dividend history. The stock volatility factor is based on the historical volatility of VGE’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 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.

NOTE 16 — NET LOSS PER SHARE

The Company computes net loss per share in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 260. Under its provisions, 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 FASB ASC Topic 260 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 the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010 that are not included in the loss per share calculation since their effect would be anti-dilutive for the periods indicated:

	2011		2010
Stock Options		57,668,000		57,668,000
Warrants		624,000		624,000

NOTE 17 — RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

Other than as listed below, we have not been a party to any significant transactions, proposed transactions, or series of transactions, and in which, to our knowledge, any of our directors, officers, five percent beneficial security holders, or any member of the immediate family of the foregoing persons has had or will have a direct or indirect material interest.

Related Party Receivables

Included in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets at March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010 are Related Party Receivables and Payables. The Related Party Receivables and Payables are detailed below. Sung Hsien Chang is a Director of VIASPACE, President of VGE, and CEO of IPA China and IPA BVI. JJ International (“JJ”) is a company owned by Sung Hsien Chang that operates separately. JJ also acts as a distributor of product for VGE. IPA China recorded revenues of $43,000 from JJ for the three months ended March 31, 2011. IPA BVI is charging JJ interest income on the outstanding receivable balance at an interest rate of 6%. For the three months ended March 31, 2011, $11,000 was recorded as interest income to JJ. This amount is included in Other Income in the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Operations.

The following table represents a summary of Related Party Receivables at March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010:

NOTE 18— OTHER COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Leases

The Company currently has no long term office lease. Lease on land in the PRC is discussed in Note 1 and Note 5. Rent expense charged to operations for the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010 was $12,000.

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 material legal proceedings at the present time.

NOTE 19 — FINANCIAL ACCOUNTING DEVELOPMENTS

In April 2010, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2010-13, Compensation – Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Effect of Denominating the Exercise Price of a Share-Based Payment Award in the Currency of the Market in Which the Underlying Equity Security Trades. This update provides amendments to Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) Topic 718 to clarify that an employee share-based payment award with an exercise price denominated in the currency of a market in which a substantial portion of the entity’s equity securities trades should not be considered to contain a condition that is not a market, performance, or service condition. Therefore, an entity would not classify such an award as a liability if it otherwise qualifies as equity. The amendments in this update are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning on or after December 15, 2010. The amendments in this update should be applied by recording a cumulative-effect adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings. The cumulative-effect adjustment should be calculated for all awards outstanding as of the beginning of the fiscal year in which the amendments are initially applied, as if the amendments had been applied consistently since the inception of the award. The cumulative-effect adjustment should be presented separately. Earlier application is permitted. The adoption of this ASU did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In July 2010, the FASB issued ASU 2010-20, Disclosures about the Credit Quality of Financing Receivables and the Allowance for Credit Losses. This update amends codification Topic 310 on receivables to improve the disclosures that an entity provides about the credit quality of its financing receivables and the related allowance for credit losses. As a result of these amendments, an entity is required to disaggregate by portfolio segment or class certain existing disclosures and provide certain new disclosures about its financing receivables and related allowance for credit losses. This guidance is being phased in, with the new disclosure requirements for period end balances effective as of December 31, 2010, and the new disclosure requirements for activity during the reporting period are effective March 31, 2011. The troubled debt restructuring disclosures in this ASU have been delayed by ASU 2011-01 Deferral of the Effective Date of Disclosures about Troubled Debt Restructurings in Update No. 2010-20, which was issued in January 2011.

In December 2010, FASB issued ASU No. 2010-28, Intangibles – Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): When to Perform Step 2 of the Goodwill Impairment Test for Reporting Units with Zero or Negative Carrying Amounts. The amendments in this update affect all entities that have recognized goodwill and have one or more reporting units whose carrying amount for purposes of performing Step 1 of the goodwill impairment test is zero or negative. The amendments in this update modify Step 1 so that for those reporting units, an entity is required to perform Step 2 of the goodwill impairment test if it is more likely than not that a goodwill impairment exists. In determining whether it is more likely than not that goodwill impairment exists, an entity should consider whether there are any adverse qualitative factors indicating that impairment may exist. The qualitative factors are consistent with existing guidance, which requires that goodwill of a reporting unit be tested for impairment between annual tests if an event occurs or circumstances change that would more likely than not reduce the fair value of a reporting unit below its carrying amount. The amendments in this update are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2010. Early adoption is not permitted. Upon adoption of the amendments, any resulting goodwill impairment should be recorded as a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings beginning in the period of an adoption. Any goodwill impairments occurring after the initial adoption of the amendments should be included in earnings. The adoption of this ASU did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In December 2010, FASB issued ASU No. 2010-29, Business Combinations (Topic 805): Disclosure of Supplementary Pro Forma Information for Business Combinations. The amendments in this update specify that if a public entity presents comparative financial statements, the entity should disclose revenue and earnings of the combined entity as though the business combination(s) that occurred during the current year had occurred as of the beginning of the comparable prior annual reporting period only. The amendments also expand the supplemental pro forma disclosures to include a description of the nature and amount of material, nonrecurring pro forma adjustments directly attributable to the business combination included in the reported pro forma revenue and earnings. The amendments in this update are effective prospectively for business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after the beginning of the first annual reporting period beginning on or after December 15, 2010. The Company adopted the disclosure requirements for the business combinations in 2011.

NOTE 20 - SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

Amendment to Secured Promissory Note

On May 16, 2011, VIASPACE and Sung Hsien Chang ("Chang") entered into an Amendment to Secured Promissory Note (the "Note Amendment"). The parties entered into the Secured Promissory Note on May 14, 2010 (the "Issue Date") pursuant to which VIASPACE promised to pay Chang, the sum of Five Million Three Hundred Thirty One and Twenty Five Dollars ($5,331,025). VIASPACE was to pay Chang in five equal annual installment payments of One Million Sixty Six Thousand and Two Hundred and Five Dollars ($1,066,205) each, together with interest per annum of six percent (6%), in arrears on the first, second, third, fourth and fifth anniversary dates of the Issue Date. The parties desired to extend the installment payment due dates by one year as part of the Note Amendment.

The Note Amendment requires VIASPACE to make five equal annual installment payments of One Million Sixty Six Thousand and Two Hundred and Five Dollars ($1,066,205) each, together with interest per annum of six percent (6%), in arrears on the second, third, fourth, fifth and sixth anniversary dates of the Issue Date rather than the first, second, third, fourth and fifth anniversary dates of the Issue Date. In addition, as part of the Note Amendment, the Holder of the Note has been changed from Sung Hsien Chang to Changs LLC.

Amendment to Senior Executive Employment Agreements

On May 16, 2011, Stephen Muzi, CFO of VIASPACE entered into an Amendment to Senior Executive Employment Agreement with VIASPACE and VGE. The Senior Executive Employment Agreement was entered into on May 14, 2010. This Amendment changed the responsibility of payment in the second year of the Employment Agreement from VGE to VIASPACE.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATION

The following discussion contains certain statements that constitute “forward-looking statements”. Such statements appear in a number of places in this Report, including, without limitation, “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition or Plan of Operation.” These statements are not guarantees of future performance and involve risks, uncertainties and requirements that are difficult to predict or are beyond our control. Our future results may differ materially from those currently anticipated depending on a variety of factors, including those described below under “Risks Related to Our Future Operations” and our filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The following should be read in conjunction with the unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements and notes thereto that appear elsewhere in this Report and in conjunction with our 2010 Annual Report on Form 10-K as filed with the SEC.

VIASPACE Overview

VIASPACE Inc. (“we”, “us”, “VIASPACE”, or the “Company”) is a renewable and alternative energy company with a global reach. We operate four separate businesses. We have a majority ownership in VIASPACE Green Energy Inc. “VGE”, a British Virgin Islands (“BVI”) company, which is the parent company of Inter Pacific Arts Corporation, a British Virgin Islands international business company (“IPA BVI”) and Guangzhou Inter Pacific Arts, a Peoples Republic of China (“PRC”) company (“IPA China”). IPA China is a wholly-owned foreign enterprise headquartered in Guangdong province of China. IPA BVI owns all equity interests of IPA China. IPA BVI and IPA China specialize in the manufacturing of high quality, copyrighted, framed artwork sold in US retail chain stores. IPA China also has a sublicense to a fast-growing, high yield, low carbon, nonfood energy crop called Giant King TM Grass (“GKG”) which can be burned in 100% biomass power plants to generate electricity; made into pellets that can be burned together with coal to reduce carbon emissions from existing power plants; generate bio methane through anaerobic digestion, and can be used as a feedstock for low carbon liquid biofuels for transportation. Cellulosic ethanol and other liquid biofuels, collectively called Grassoline, do not use corn or other food sources as feedstock. GKG can also be used as animal feed. GKG and other plants absorb and store carbon dioxide from the atmosphere as they grow. When they are burned, they release the carbon dioxide back into the atmosphere, but it is the same carbon dioxide that was removed from the atmosphere, and that the process is carbon neutral. Small amounts of fossil fuel are used by the farm equipment, transportation of GKG and fertilizer, so that the overall process has some carbon dioxide emissions, but much lower than burning coal or other fossil fuels directly. GKG has been independently tested by customers and been shown to have excellent energy content and very high bio methane production. We do not build the power plant or biofuel plant; rather we grow GKG that is needed as the fuel or feedstock.

We are growing GKG on approximately 280 acres of leased land in China to serve as a nursery for expansion, a demonstration plot for potential partners and customers, to provide samples for potential customers, and as a grass source for our own products. VGE is headquartered in California with business activities in China.

We grow a fast-growing, high yield, low carbon, nonfood energy crop called GKG which can be burned in 100% biomass power plants to generate electricity; made into pellets that can be burned together with coal to reduce carbon emissions from existing power plants; generate bio methane through anaerobic digestion, and can be used as a feedstock for low carbon liquid biofuels for transportation.

GKG has been independently tested by customers and been shown to have excellent energy content and very high bio methane production. We do not build the power plant or biofuel plant; rather we grow GKG that is needed as the fuel or feedstock.

We also manufacture framed copyrighted artwork in China and market and sell it in the US. We also produce disposable fuel cartridges that provide the energy source for portable electronics powered by fuel cells. We do not make fuel cells, but instead we make disposable fuel cartridges for fuel cell and electronics manufacturers such as Samsung. We are also working on a next-generation mass spectrometry technology for industrial process control and environmental monitoring.

VIASPACE is based in California with business activities in China, Korea and Japan.

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 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 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 discussed below require significant management judgments and estimates.

VIASPACE has generated revenues from product shipments. In accordance with “Revenue Recognition”, codified in FASB ASC Topic 605, VIASPACE 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 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, any cash received would be recorded as deferred revenue on the Company’s Balance Sheet.

Ionfinity has generated revenues from 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 “Revenue Arrangements with Multiple Deliverables”, codified in FASB ASC Topic 605. In accordance with this topic, the Company treats each milestone as an individual revenue agreement and only recognizes revenue for each milestone when all required revenue recognition conditions are met.

In accordance with FASB ASC Topic 605, IPA BVI and IPA China 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 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.

The Company accounts for equity instruments issued to consultants and vendors in exchange for goods and services in accordance with the provisions of FASB ASC Topic 505-50, “Accounting for Equity Instruments that are Issued to Other than Employees for Acquiring, or in Conjunction with Selling Goods or Services” and “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 FASB ASC Topic 505-50, 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.

Results of Operations

Three Months Ended March 31, 2011 Compared to March 31, 2010

Revenues

Revenues were $582,000 and $927,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively, a decrease of $345,000. IPA BVI and IPA China recorded revenues of $534,000 during three months ended March 31, 2010 from the sales of framed-artwork primarily to retail U.S. customers, a decrease of $223,000 from the comparable period in 2010 due to reduced customer shipments. Ionfinity incurred revenues of $48,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2011, a decrease of $122,000 from the comparable period in 2010. Ionfinity did not record revenues on its Phase II U.S. Army contract in 2011 as the contract was completed in 2010. Ionfinity recorded revenues in both years on a Phase II U.S. Navy contract.

Cost of Revenues

Costs of revenues were $461,000 and $676,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively, a decrease of $215,000. IPA BVI and IPA China recorded cost of revenues of $417,000 from the sales of framed-artwork during the three months ended March 31, 2011, a decrease of $115,000 over the same period in 2010, due to lower revenues recorded during 2011. Ionfinity recorded lower cost of revenues of $100,000 during the three months ended March 31, 2011 as compared with the comparable period in 2010.

Gross Profit

The resulting effect on these changes in revenues and cost of revenues from the three months ended March 31, 2010 to 2011 was a decrease in gross profits from $251,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2010 to $121,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2011, a decrease of $130,000.

Operations Expenses

Operations expenses were $36,000 and $28,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively, an increase of $8,000. The increase is primarily due to operations expenses incurred by VGE in the production of its GKG in China. This includes operating costs for salaries, equipment, maintenance, utilities and fuel costs. The Company expects operations expenses for VGE to increase in the future as more expenditures are incurred to grow, harvest and produce GKG.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses

Selling, general and administrative expenses were $873,000 and $894,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively, a decrease of $21,000. Stock option and stock compensation expenses increased $128,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2011 from the same period in 2010 primarily due to increased stock option expense and stock compensation expense related to Company common stock issued to employees, consultants and vendors for services. Consulting expenses decreased $119,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2011 from the same period in 2010 due to reduced consultant requirements in 2011. Accounting fees decreased $18,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2011 from the same period in 2010. Legal fees decreased $73,000. Travel costs increased $8,000 due to increased sales and marketing travel related to the GKG business. Public relations expenses increased $43,000 as the Company incurred higher investor relations expenses. Other selling, general and administrative expenses, net, increased by $10,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2011 compared with the same period in 2010.

Loss from Operations

The resulting effect on these changes in gross profits, operations expenses and selling, general and administrative expenses was an increase in the loss from operations from $671,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2010 to $788,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2011, an increase of $117,000.

Other Income (Expense), Net

Interest Expense

Interest expense increased by $7,000 the three months ended March 31, 2011 as compared to the same period in 2010, due to higher interest expense recorded on the related party loan payable to Sung Hsien Chang arising from the acquisition of IPA by the Company on October 21, 2008.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The Company’s net loss for the three months ended March 31, 2011 was $762,000. Non-cash expenses of $508,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2011 composed primarily of stock compensation expense and stock options expense issued to employees, directors and consultants. Working capital was positive $176,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2011 primarily due to an increase in accounts payable. Net cash used in operating activities was $78,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2011.

Net cash used in investing activities was $22,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2011, arising from capital expenditures incurred by VGE in purchasing equipment for its GKG business.

Net cash used in financing activities was $4,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2011 arising from principal payments on Company loans to the Community Development Commission.

At March 31, 2011, the Company has negative working capital of $8,000 and an accumulated deficit of $36,329,000. Our financial statements were 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. The Company has addressed this concern by laying off certain of its staff and reducing operating expenses. In addition, the Company has sold non-core and as yet non-profitable business units. The Company is now focused primarily on four business segments including the GKG business, framed artwork business, the fuel cell business and the security segment.

Contractual Obligations

The following table summarizes our long-term contractual obligations at March 31, 2011:

		Total				Less than 1 Year
Long-term debt obligations (a)		$	8,000			$	8,000

(a) The annual installment of principal and interest on the notes payable owed to the Community Development Commission as discussed in the accompanying footnotes to the consolidated financial statements are noted.

There are no other major outstanding contractual obligations other than employment agreements and the note to Sung Hsien Chang as detailed below.

Due to Sung Hsien Chang

VIASPACE was obligated to pay Sung Hsien Chang $4,800,000 arising from the acquisition of IPA China and IPA BVI by VGE and the Company on October 21, 2008. On May 14, 2010, the Company entered into a secured Note with Chang designed to pay this amount. Under the Note, the Company must pay Chang $5,331,025 over a five-year period. Interest accrues at 6%. The principal must be repaid in five equal installments of $1,066,205 on the first through fifth anniversary of the issuance date. Chang may elect to receive payments in cash or equity securities. The Note is secured by certain assets of the Company, including all securities of VGE held by the Company. The Note is also secured by the assets of VGE, IPA BVI and IPA China. The Note may be accelerated upon an event of default under the note which includes failure to repay any amount owed, or breach of certain representations, warranties and covenants. The Note also includes various affirmative covenants, including legal compliance and insurance maintenance; and negative covenants, including maintaining a net worth of $5 million on a consolidated basis. At March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010, there is accrued interest of $281,000 and $202,000, respectively, arising from the Note included in accrued expenses.

Employment Agreements

Inflation and Seasonality

We have not experienced material inflation during the past five years. Seasonality has historically not had a material effect on our operations.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

The Company does not have any off-balance sheet arrangements as of March 31, 2011.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

Our exposure to market risk is confined to our cash and equivalents. We invest excess cash and equivalents in high-quality money market funds that invest in federal agency notes and US treasury notes, which we believe are subject to limited credit risk. We currently do not hedge interest rate exposure. The effective duration of our portfolio is all current with no investment of a long-term duration. Due to the short-term nature of our investments, we do not believe that we have any material exposure to interest rate risk arising from our investments.

Most of our transactions are conducted in US dollars, although we do have some sales and marketing agreements with consultants outside the US. The majority of these transactions are conducted in US dollars. If the exchange rate changed by ten percent, we do not believe it would have a material impact on our results of operations or cash flows.

ITEM 4. 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 Quarterly Report, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’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.

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 the fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2011 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting. The Company is a non-accelerated filer.

PART II — OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

The Company does not have any material legal proceedings as of March 31, 2011.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS

Risk Factors Which May Affect Future Results

The Company cautions that the following important factors, among others, in some cases have affected and in the future could affect the Company’s actual results and could cause such results to differ materially from those expressed in forward-looking statements made by or on behalf of the Company.

There have been no material changes to the risk factors included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2010, other than as set forth below:

Risks Related To Our Business

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

Our net loss for the three months ended March 31, 2011 was $762,000. We have not yet achieved profitability and expect to continue to incur net losses until we recognize increased revenues from GKG sales, framed-artwork sales, 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 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 future financing.

Goldman Kurland Mohidin, LLP, our independent registered public accounting firm, included an explanatory paragraph in its report on our financial statements for 2010, which expresses substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. The inclusion of a going concern explanatory paragraph in Goldman 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 were 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.

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

The Company had one customer who made up 61% of the consolidated revenues of the Company for the three months ended March 31, 2011. We believe this trend of revenues to a few customers will continue in the near future. A loss of any customer by the Company could significantly reduce recognized revenues.

If we default on our secured debt to Chang, we may lose our interests in IPA BVI and IPA China.

VIASPACE issued a secured note to Chang. VIASPACE must pay Chang $5,331,025 over a five-year period. Principal must be repaid in five equal annual installments of $1,066,205 commencing May 14, 2011. Payments under this note become due in 2011 and mature in 2015. We and our subsidiaries IPA BVI and IPA China have guaranteed VIASPACE’s debt. We have also pledged our equity securities in VGE to Chang. Likewise, VGE has pledged its securities of IPA BVI to Chang and IPA BVI has pledged its securities of IPA China to Chang. We and our subsidiaries have also granted a security interest to Chang for all assets of our respective companies.

If VIASPACE defaults in its obligation to Chang, Chang may foreclose on all assets of our Company and/or our subsidiaries. He may also seize the equity interests of our subsidiaries. Any of these actions would cause us to relinquish all ownership of our assets and our company would then lose all of its value. Under such circumstances, your securities may lose all of its value.

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 depress the price of our common stock. In particular, we anticipate that the issuance of newly-issued shares to Chang in connection with an alternate arrangement to enable us to hold interests in VGE, and in turn, IPA BVI and IPA China may be very dilutive. 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 1,269,100,405 were issued and outstanding as of March 31, 2011. Of these issued and outstanding shares, 433,652,263 shares (34.2%) are currently held by our executive officers, directors and principal shareholders (including Dr. Carl Kukkonen, CEO and Director; Mr. Stephen J. Muzi, CFO; Mr. Sung Hsien Chang, Director and President of VGE; Mr. Rick Calacci, Director; Ms. Angelina Galiteva, Director; and Mr. Paul Kim, Director). Of the shares issued and outstanding at December 31, 2010, 602,816,531 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. 666,283,874 shares of the Company’s common stock are accounted for by our transfer agent as free trading at March 31, 2011.

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 executive officers, directors and principal shareholders own 34.2% 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 34.2% of our outstanding shares as of March 31, 2011. In addition, on May 14, 2010, the Company filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Nevada a Certificate of Designation of Series A Preferred Stock. The Certificate was approved by the Board and did not require shareholder vote. The Certificate created a new class of preferred stock known as Series A Preferred Stock. There is one share designated as Series A Preferred Stock. One share of Series A Preferred Stock is entitled to 50.1% of the outstanding votes on all shareholder voting matters. Series A Preferred Stock has no dividend rights and no rights upon a liquidation event and is subject to cancellation when certain conditions are met. On May 14, 2010, the Company issued one share of Series A Preferred Stock to Mr. Chang related to the acquisition of IPA by VIASPACE and VGE. This empowers Chang with supermajority voting rights even after he holds less than a majority of outstanding voting securities.

If we default on our secured debt to Chang, we may lose our interests in VGE which would impact our stock price.

If VIASPACE defaults in its obligation to Chang, Chang may foreclose on all assets of our Company and/or our subsidiaries. He may also seize the equity interests of VGE. Any of these actions would cause us to relinquish all ownership of our assets and our company would then lose most of its value. Under such circumstances, your securities may lose most of its value.

ITEM 2. UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS

On January 4, 2011, the Company issued Mr. Stephen Muzi, CFO of the Company, 3,296,703 unregistered shares of the Company’s common stock for salary valued at $30,000. On January 20, 2011, the Company issued consultants 12,000,000 unregistered shares of the Company’s common stock for consulting services valued at $114,000. On January 26, 2011, the Company issued Dr. Kukkonen, CEO of the Company, 6,219,837 unregistered shares of the Company’s common stock for salary valued at $50,400 and issued Mr. Stephen Muzi, CFO of the Company, 3,703,704 unregistered shares of the Company’s common stock for salary valued at $30,000. On February 1, 2011 and February 2, 2011, the Company issued consultants 4,400,000 unregistered shares of the Company’s common stock for consulting services valued at $37,500. On February 28, 2011, the Company issued Dr. Kukkonen, CEO of the Company, 3,731,902 unregistered shares of the Company’s common stock for salary valued at $50,400 and issued Mr. Stephen Muzi, CFO of the Company, 2,222,222 unregistered shares of the Company’s common stock for salary valued at $30,000.

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.
