ITEM 1. BUSINESS

Business Development

We have completed our research and development stage and have entered the next stage in which we will focus our energy and resources on marketing and licensing the thin-film battery to suitable partners across

all industries. We have been in contact with several large-scale, multinational companies who have expressed interest in our thin-film battery technology. This step is Stage 3 of our business plan.

We have from our inception focused on research and development, testing and prototyping in order to improve the original thin-film battery core technology. We have reached the stage where all conceivable improvements and enhancements required for product integration into the largest and most profitable markets have been accomplished. Through our R&D, we have, among other achievements, significantly improved Lipon, the key layer of the original thin-film battery; changed the composition of the battery; developed a hermetic package, including getters that withstand solder reflow conditions and protect the battery from air exposure; developed a new anode-cathode combination (the active battery components), which allows for record high temperature cycles of 170 degrees Celsius; and have developed a thin-film battery that operates between 2 V and 1 V. A summary of our issued and pending patents is as follows:

In addition to issued and pending patents, we have numerous trade secrets in thin film battery technology related to battery construction and thin-film processing.

During the past several years, numerous large-scale, multinational companies have contacted us with interest in the thin-film battery technology (the “TFB Technology”). We believe our unique patented technology is ready for large-scale production and commercialization into many viable product lines. We intend to move into a strong and aggressive licensing mode. We are currently in discussion with several companies seeking to integrate our technology into their various product lines and new designs. These companies have expressed an interest in licensing our proprietary TFB Technology.

focuses on licensing our TFB Technology. We are currently searching for an IP and license marketing firm, which specializes in reaching industry leaders in our key target markets and providing research reports and market summaries for exposure and marketing of our TFB Technology to the various industry markets that we believe our TFB Technology will enhance and be in demand.

We are currently involved in various stages of negotiation with other companies about the potential of license agreements.

Business Development Activities

Developments During the Year Ended December 31, 2009

We terminated our lease agreement at our 275 Midway Lane facility.

On November 9, 2009, John B. Bates, PhD., resigned as our Chief Technical Officer and as a director, while expressing his desire to limit his current services to us by reasons of age and present health concerns. There were no disagreements between Dr. Bates and us regarding this resignation. We have not yet filled this vacancy on our Board of Directors created, and we are seeking a qualified person for this position who will assist us in a planned aggressive licensing effort of our thin-film battery technology. We and Dr. Bates anticipate entering into a Consulting Agreement for his valued services in licensing our technology, on an as needed basis. See our 8-K Current Report dated November 9, 2009, which was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on November 13, 2009.

Developments During the Year Ended December 31, 2008

On March 10, 2008, we entered into and completed an Equipment Purchase Agreement to sell our non-proprietary research and development equipment (the “Equipment”) and sub-lease our Oak Ridge, TN, facility, to Planar Energy Devices, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Planar”). This agreement allowed us to have continued access to the Equipment as may be needed for prototyping and testing by potential licensees and partners for up to a minimum of 18 months, at a price of $1,000 per month for the first six months and at a price to be agreed upon during the next 12 months. This term has now ended, but we have good relations with Planar, and we believe arrangements could be made to use these facilities if necessary. The total purchase price of the Equipment was $600,000, which was paid on closing. See our 8-K Current Report dated March 10, 2008, which was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 14, 2008. See Part IV, Item 15.

Description of Business

We produce thin-film, solid-state batteries for industrial, government, and medical applications. Our thin-film battery is rechargeable, lithium-based, and the active battery layers are significantly thinner than common plastic wrap. Our batteries are intended for applications such as wireless smart sensors that operate in harsh environments, security cards, radio frequency identification (“RFID”) tags, semiconductor non-volatile memory chips, and implantable medical devices. The small size of this new battery technology will improve existing products and enable the development of many new products. Our fully packaged cells on ceramic substrates typically supplied to customers are 0.024 of an inch (0.62 mm) thick.

Thin-film rechargeable lithium and lithium-ion batteries in which the component layers are less than 5 micrometers (0.0002 inches) thick were developed by Dr. John B. Bates and his team of scientists and engineers from more than a decade of research at the Oak Ridge National Laboratory (“ORNL”). The U. S. Department of Energy has released the technology for commercialization through their licensing agent, UT Battelle LLC. We are one of a number of non-exclusive licensees of this technology. The batteries must be substantially manufactured in the United States, under our licensing agreement (the “Licensing Agreement”), unless a waiver is obtained. There may be exportation limitations into certain countries; there are no environmental compliance issues that we know of; and raw materials and manufacturing equipment are readily available from several vendors in the United States.

Unlike conventional batteries, thin-film batteries can be deposited directly onto chips or chip packages in any shape or size, and when fabricated on plastics or thin metal foils, the batteries are quite flexible. Some of the unique properties of thin-film batteries that distinguish them from conventional batteries include:

all solid state construction;

can be deep cycled thousands of times;

can be operated at high and low temperatures (tests have been conducted between -20 degrees C and 160 degrees C);

can be made in any shape or size;

cost does not increase with reduction in size (constant $/cm2); and

completely safe under all operating conditions.

Thin-film lithium-ion batteries have the additional advantage of being unaffected by heating to over 280 degrees centigrade. Many integrated circuits or IC’s are assembled by the solder reflow or surface mount process, in which all of the electronic components are soldered on the board at the same time by heating to temperatures as high as 280 degrees C for a few minutes. Conventional batteries, such as coin or button cells, contain organic liquid electrolytes that cannot survive such temperatures, and therefore must be added to the circuits as a separate component, often manually.

We have manufactured in limited quantities lithium-ion batteries (model ORLI.0.5CL). Batteries have been delivered to a variety of potential customers who desire samples to evaluate for integration into their products. In order to preserve capital, we are seeking a relationship with a third party manufacturing partner who will be able to scale up our manufacturing process and produce large numbers of batteries for high-volume markets or companies who are interested in licensing our technology and integrating it into their product lines or developing new applications which require our unique patented technology.

Principal Products or Services and Their Markets

Thin-film lithium and lithium-ion batteries are ideally suited for a variety of applications where a small power source is needed. They can be manufactured in a variety of shapes and sizes, as required by the customer. By using the available space within a device, the battery can provide the required power while occupying otherwise wasted space and adding negligible mass.

The range of possible applications of these batteries derives from their important advantages as compared to conventional battery technologies. They can be made in virtually any shape and size to meet the requirements of each application. The batteries are rechargeable, which means their size needs to be no larger than required to satisfy the energy requirements on a single cycle, thus reducing cost and weight, which in itself may give birth to new applications.

We believe that numerous new applications will become apparent continually. At this point, anticipated uses include:

diagnostic wafers for the semiconductor industry;

wireless sensors;

active radio frequency identification tags;

non-volatile memory backup; and

implantable medical devices

Detailed Market Applications

As a consequence of their ultra thin profile, low thermal mass, and their ability to operate in harsh environments, thin-film batteries are uniquely suited as power sources for wireless semiconductor processing diagnostic wafers. Thin-film lithium batteries will eventually power wireless sensors smaller than the size of a dime that can detect biological or chemical contaminants, movement and pressure, and transmit this information to a local receiver.

Two decades ago, bar code technology revolutionized the way goods and merchandise were identified, priced and inventoried. However, bar code technology is limited in its application by the need for an unobstructed line- of-sight or physical contact between the bar code and the reader. Radio frequency identification eliminates this limitation. Active tags would contain circuitry that enables them to radio their location to a central receiver which would sort out the information as needed. Some tags require a very thin battery to power the devices contained within it.

Non-volatile static random access memory is used in numerous products such as computers, time keeping chips and flash memory. When the active power of a device with static random access memory is turned off, it is necessary to have a backup source of energy in order to retain memory in the chips. Because of the very low leakage currents of the complimentary metal-oxide semiconductor transistors that make up the memory, only small batteries are necessary to retain the memory during periods when the device is removed from active power, such as might occur in a power outage. Presently, non-rechargeable coin cells are used to backup non-volatile static access memory, but because they are not rechargeable and are produced in standard minimum sizes, the battery often dominates the size of the static random access memory package. Since thin-film batteries have a very long cycle life, a thin-film battery many times smaller than a coin cell can be used as a backup power source. Also, only solid-state thin-film lithium-ion batteries can withstand the high temperatures required for solder reflow assembly, allowing them to be integrated into circuits along with the other components. Conventional coin cells must be added by hand. Thin-film batteries can also be deposited directly onto memory chips or chip packages, reducing the volume they occupy even further.

Because of their all construction, small size, and long cycle life, thin-film batteries are ideally suited for implantable medical devices such as neural stimulators, smart pacemakers and wireless diagnostic systems.

Distribution Methods of the Products or Services

Our improvements to our patented and proprietary Intellectual Property portfolio has readied our technology for manufacturing and product integration into the above mentioned applications, see "Principal Products or Services and Their Markets", amongst many others. We have determined that licensing our technology is, not only, the most cost effective and profitable method of penetrating the market, but will also eliminate the necessity to maintain large manufacturing facilitates. In return, we will receive royalty payments. Years of discussions within the industry has given us a long list of potential companies and contacts who may benefit from our technology and we are actively pursuing our current contact list to discuss potential License Agreements.

Competitive Business Conditions and Smaller Reporting Company’s Competitive Position in the Industry and Methods of Competition

Presently, there are six other U.S. companies that have licenses for manufacturing thin-film batteries using the Department of Energy’s technology:

Infinite Power Solutions, Inc. (Littleton, CO); Front Edge Technology, Inc. (Baldwin Park, CA); Cymbet Corporation (Minneapolis, MN); Teledyne Electronic Technologies (Newport Beach, CA); Excellatron (Atlanta, GA); and Planar Energy Devices, Inc. (FL). The worldwide market for thin-film batteries may become quite large, and we view these other licensees as allies in promoting the value of thin-film batteries in the early years, whereas all licensees may become more competitive in later years. The other licensees began their businesses in 1998 or later. Some are better capitalized than we are; and some have greater manufacturing capacity at this point. Some are focused solely on developing batteries, while others are diversified.

Effect of Existing or Probable Governmental Regulations on the Business

Exchange Act

We are subject to the following regulations of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), and applicable securities laws, rules and regulations promulgated under the Exchange Act by the Securities and Exchange Commission. Compliance with these requirements of the Exchange Act will also substantially increase our legal and accounting costs.

Smaller Reporting Company

We are subject to the reporting requirements of Section 13 of the Exchange Act, and subject to the disclosure requirements of Regulation S-K of the Securities and Exchange Commission, as a “smaller reporting company.” That designation will relieve us of some of the informational requirements of Regulation S-K.

Sarbanes/Oxley Act

We are also subject to the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. The Sarbanes/Oxley Act created a strong and independent accounting oversight board to oversee the conduct of auditors of public companies and strengthens auditor independence. It also requires steps to enhance the direct responsibility of senior members of management for financial reporting and for the quality of financial disclosures made by public companies; establishes clear statutory rules to limit, and to expose to public view, possible conflicts of interest affecting securities analysts; creates guidelines for audit committee members’ appointment, compensation and oversight of the work of public companies’ auditors; management assessment of our internal controls; auditor attestation to management’s conclusions about internal controls prohibits certain insider trading during pension fund blackout periods; requires companies and auditors to evaluate internal controls and procedures; and establishes a federal crime of securities fraud, among other provisions. Compliance with the requirements of the Sarbanes/Oxley Act will substantially increase our legal and accounting costs.

Exchange Act Reporting Requirements

Section 14(a) of the Exchange Act requires all companies with securities registered pursuant to Section 12(g) of the Exchange Act to comply with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission regarding proxy solicitations, as outlined in Regulation 14A. Matters submitted to stockholders at a special or annual meeting thereof or pursuant to a written consent will require us to provide our stockholders with the information outlined in Schedules 14A (where proxies are solicited) or 14C (where consents in writing to the action have already been received or anticipated to be received) of Regulation 14, as applicable; and preliminary copies of this information must be submitted to the Securities and Exchange Commission at least 10 days prior to the date that definitive copies of this information are forwarded to our stockholders.

We are also required to file annual reports on Form 10-K and quarterly reports on Form 10-Q with the Securities and Exchange Commission on a regular basis, and will be required to timely disclose certain material events (e.g., changes in corporate control; acquisitions or dispositions of a significant amount of assets other than in the ordinary course of business; and bankruptcy) in a Current Report on Form 8-K.

Research and Development Costs During the Last Two Fiscal Years

We spent $21,795 and $50,468 in December 31, 2009, and 2008, respectively, on research and development.

Number of Total Employees and Number of Full-Time Employees

We currently have two full-time employees.

Additional Information

You may read and copy any materials that we file with the Securities and Exchange Commission at the Securities and Exchange Commission’s Public Reference Room at 100 F Street, N.E., Washington, D.C. 20549. You may also find all of the reports or registration statements that we have filed electronically with the Securities and Exchange Commission at its Internet site at www.sec.gov. Please call the Securities and Exchange Commission at 1-202-551-8090 for further information on this or other Public Reference Rooms. Our Securities and Exchange Commission reports and registration statements are also available from commercial document retrieval services, such as CCH Washington Service Bureau, whose telephone number is 1-800-955-0219.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS

We are not required to provide risk factors; however, we are subject to all of the risks inherent in a small company like ours, which has limited cash resources and a limited public market for our outstanding shares.

ITEM 2: PROPERTIES

During the first four months of 2009, we maintained a 5,000 square foot laboratory facility in the city of Oak Ridge, TN. The rental cost was $2,200 per month. On March 10, 2008, this facility was subleased to Planar. See the heading “Developments Subsequent to the Year Ended December 31, 2008,” above. By year-end, Planar had removed all equipment from the facility and ceased to sublease our facility. As part of our agreement with Planar, we will continue to have access to our equipment, now located at Planar’s facilities, for a small fee as needed. As of April 2009, we have terminated our lease agreement at the above-mentioned facility. We continue to maintain office space provided by our Chief Executive Officer in his residence in Salt Lake City, Utah.

Dr. Bates’ prior association with the Oak Ridge National Laboratory allows us, through the ORNL Laboratory’s user program for corporations (also available to other licensees of the thin-film battery technology), to gain access to specialized equipment. This eliminates the need for us to purchase expensive equipment that is infrequently used, but is critically important to our intended business. In addition to the personnel at ORNL, the city of Oak Ridge has a large talent pool of former and/or retired employees with special skills in chemistry, physics and materials characterization. These specialists can be hired as permanent or part-time employees or as consultants.

ITEM 3: LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

We are not the subject of any pending legal proceedings; and to the knowledge of management, no proceedings are presently contemplated against us by any federal, state or local governmental agency.

Further, to the knowledge of management, no director or executive officer is party to any action in which any has an interest adverse to us.

ITEM 7: MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATION

When used in this Annual Report, the words “may,” “will,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “continue,” “estimate,” “project,” “intend,” and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27a of the Securities Act and Section 21e of the Exchange Act regarding events,

conditions, and financial trends that may affect our future plans of operations, business strategy, operating results, and financial position. Persons reviewing this Annual Report are cautioned that any forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and are subject to risks and uncertainties and that actual results may differ materially from those included within the forward-looking statements as a result of various factors. Such factors are discussed further below under “Trends and Uncertainties,” and also include general economic factors and conditions that may directly or indirectly impact our financial condition or results of operations.

Plan of Operation

We have developed a new, thin-film lithium battery technology for commercial, consumer, industrial, security and military use. Our corporate objective is to capitalize on delivering solutions for the world’s micro-power needs.

The battery is lithium-based and is manufactured to be thinner than common plastic wrap. Like the larger, traditional lithium batteries that power laptops and cell phones, this lithium battery is also rechargeable. Unlike traditional lithium batteries, the thin-film battery is intended for small, hi-tech, low power applications, some of which have not yet been developed or brought to market.

Current anticipated uses include “smart” credit cards, security cards, wireless sensors, radio frequency identification tags, chip memory backup and advanced drug delivery devices. Future applications will grow as the availability of thin-film batteries increases.

The technology has evolved over the past decade at the Oak Ridge National Laboratories (“ORNL”), a U. S. Government laboratory in Oak Ridge, TN. The U. S. Department of Energy has released the technology for commercialization through their licensing agent, UT Battelle LLC. We are one of a number of non-exclusive licensees of this technology. The primary inventor of the technology for ORNL, Dr. John B. Bates, retired from ORNL and was our Chief Technology Officer and a member of our Board of Directors until late 1999.

The batteries must be substantially manufactured in the United States, under our licensing agreement (the “Licensing Agreement”), unless a waiver is obtained. There may be exportation limitations into certain countries; there are no environmental compliance issues that we know of; and raw materials and manufacturing equipment are readily available from several vendors in the United States.

We have now completed our research and development stage and are entering the next stage in which we will focus our energy and resources on marketing and licensing the thin-film battery covered by our various patents to suitable partners across all industries. We have been in contact with several large-scale, multinational companies who have expressed interest in our thin-film battery technology. This step is stage 3 of our business plan.

We have spent the first several years focusing on enhancing and improving the original core thin-film battery technology and have dedicated the facility in Oak Ridge, TN, to research and development, testing and prototyping. We feel we have reached the stage where all conceivable improvements and enhancements that would be required for product integration into the largest and most profitable markets have been accomplished. Through our testing, we have, among many other accomplishments, replaced the Lipon, the core of the original thin-film battery; changed the composition of the thin-film battery; developed a protective coating that makes it more durable through resistance to oxygen and moisture; improved long-life thin-film battery packages, including getters and methods for making improved long-life thin-film battery packages; developed a new anode-cathode combination (the active battery components which allows for record high temperature cycles of 170 degrees Celsius; and developed a thin-film battery that operates between 2 V and 1 V.

During the prior several years, numerous large-scale, multinational companies have contacted us with interest in our TFB Technology. We believe our unique patented technology is ready for large-scale production and commercialization into many viable product lines. We intend to move into a strong and

aggressive licensing mode. Oak Ridge Micro-Energy is currently in discussion with several companies seeking to integrate our technology into their various product lines and new designs. These companies have expressed an interest in licensing our proprietary TFB Technology.

As an integral part of the marketing process, we are currently considering separating the TFB Technology and marketing divisions by assigning the TFB Technology to a wholly owned subsidiary. This will enable us to continue to pursue technical advancements to our IP, as well as build a marketing division, which focuses on licensing our TFB Technology. We are currently searching for an IP and license marketing firm, which specializes in reaching industry leaders in our key target markets and providing research reports and market summaries for exposure and marketing of our TFB Technology to the various industry markets that we believe our TFB Technology will enhance and be in demand.

We are currently involved in various stages of negotiation with other companies about the potential of license agreements.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

We incurred a net loss of ($319,658), for the year ended December 31, 2009. Cash on hand totaled $394,037. We believe cash on hand will be sufficient to finance current business operations for at least the next 12 months.

Results of Operations

For the 12 month periods ended December 31, 2009 and 2008

During the year ended December 31, 2009, we had a net loss of $319,658. During this same period ending December 31, 2008, we had a net loss of $427,779. Our revenues for 2009 decreased to $1,375, compared to $18,872 in 2008. These revenues were from consulting agreements with various companies.

Research and development expenses during the year ended December 31, 2009, were $21,795, compared to $50,468 during the year ended December 31, 2008. Research and development expense consists mainly of salaries to a small technical staff and materials used in the further development and prototyping of the thin-film lithium battery. During the 2010, we expect minimal research and development expenses as we have completed our research and development stage. We will focus our energy and resources on marketing and licensing the thin-film battery covered by our various patents to suitable partners across all industries.

General and administrative expenses were $296,672 for the year ended December 31, 2009, compared to $621,788 for the year ended December 31, 2008. These charges consisted of rent, utilities, travel expenses, legal and professional charges and other miscellaneous charges related to our general business operations. Several factors led to the decrease of general and administrative expenses, including the termination of our lease at our Oak Ridge facility; the fact that we did not issue any common stock for services during the year ended December 31, 2009, and therefore did not have any expenses related to stock issuances; and a general unwinding of our operations in Oak Ridge, TN.

We had no sales and marketing expenses during 2009, compared to $546 in 2008. Depreciation and amortization decreased to $8,956 in 2009 from $37,787 in 2008. Interest income decreased for 2009 to $6,390 from $16,249 in 2008. In 2009, we had zero gain from sale of assets compared to $247,689 for 2008.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We had no off-balance sheet arrangements for the year ended December 31, 2009.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

The Board of Directors and Shareholders

Oak Ridge Micro-Energy, Inc.

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Oak Ridge Micro-Energy, Inc.,(A Development Stage Company) as of December 31, 2009 and 2008 and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008 and for the period of the development stage [January 1, 1996] through December 31, 2009. 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 an audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its 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 also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Oak Ridge Micro-Energy, Inc. as of December 31, 2009 and 2008 and the results of operations and cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008 and for the period of the developmental stage [January 1, 1996] through December 31, 2009, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

Note 1 – Description of Business and Liquidity

Oak Ridge Micro-Energy, Inc. (referred to hereafter as “the Company” or “Oak Ridge”) was incorporated on August 15, 1986 under the laws of the state of Colorado, with the original name “Vates Corp.” Since inception, the company has completed six name changes resulting in its present name. With the 2002 acquisition of its sole subsidiary, Oak Ridge Micro-Energy, Inc., a Nevada Corporation (“Oak Ridge Nevada”), the name of the Company was changed from Global Acquisitions, Inc. The Company has changed the par value of its stock and effected four stock splits. The accompanying financial statements have been prepared showing the after spilt effect with a par value of $0.001 since inception.

The Company became inactive after 1995 and is considered to be in the development stage after that date. The Company’s principal operation is the further development and commercialization of the rechargeable thin-film lithium battery.

Note 2 – Summary of Accounting Methods

Revenue Recognition

The Company recognizes revenues in accordance with the Securities and Exchange Commission, Staff Accounting Bulletin (SAB) number 104, “Revenue Recognition.” SAB 104 clarifies application of U. S. generally accepted accounting principles to revenue transactions.

Revenue is recognized as products are delivered to the customer. That is, the arrangements of the sale are documented, the product is delivered to the customer, the pricing becomes final, and collectability is reasonably assured. Revenue is recognized on the sale and delivery of a product or the completion of consulting services.

Consolidation

The accompanying consolidated financial statements include all of the accounts of Oak Ridge Micro-Energy, Inc. and its subsidiary, Oak Ridge Nevada. All significant inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated.

Income Taxes

The Company applies Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB), ASC 740 “Income Taxes,” which requires the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes. The asset and liability method requires current or deferred tax consequences of all events recognized in the financial statements are measured by applying the provisions of enacted tax laws to determine the amount of taxes payable or refundable currently or in future years.

Research and Development

All costs of research and development, including wages, supplies, consultants, and depreciation on equipment used in research and development, are expensed as incurred.

Estimates and Assumptions

Management uses estimates and assumptions in preparing financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Those estimates and assumptions affect the reported amounts of the assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities, and the reported revenues and expenses. Actual results could vary from the estimates that were assumed in preparing the financial statements.

Oak Ridge Micro-Energy, Inc.

(Development Stage Company)

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

Long Lived-Assets

The Company periodically evaluates the economic lives of its long-lived assets and if there has been impairment in the value of the assets a loss would be recognized in the operating statement.

Patents Pending

Patent costs are capitalized for legal fees incurred in obtaining patents and franchises in the United States of America and other countries. Costs to develop the technology were recognized as research and development and expensed when incurred. The Company has determined the useful life of the patents to be 5 years. Thus, the patents are being amortized, once issued, on a straight-line basis over a 5-year life.

Financial Instruments

The carrying amounts of financial instruments, including cash and accounts payable, are considered by management to be their estimated fair values.

Basic and Diluted Net Income (Loss) Per Share

Basic loss per common share is based on the weighted-average number of shares outstanding. Diluted income or loss per share is computed using weighted average number of common shares plus dilutive common share equivalents outstanding during the period using the treasury stock method. There are no common stock equivalents outstanding, thus, basic and diluted income or loss per share calculations are the same.

Statement of Cash Flows

For the purposes of the statement of cash flows, the Company considers all highly liquid investments with maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.

Financial and Concentrations Risk

The Company does not have any concentration or related financial credit risk except that the Company maintains cash in banks over the federally insured amounts of $250,000. The amount in excess of federally insured amounts as of December 31, 2009 was $120,113. On January 26, 2010, the Company spread cash among several accounts at different banks to eliminate this risk.

Advertising and Market Development

The company expenses advertising and market development costs as incurred. For the year ended December 31, 2009 and 2008, the Company recognized $0 and $546, respectively, in advertising expenses.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Effective July 1, 2009, the Company adopted the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 105-10 Generally Accepted Accounting Principles-Overall (“ASC 105-10”). ASC 105-10 establishes the FASB Accounting Standards Codification (the “Codification”) as the source of authoritative accounting principles recognized by the FASB to be applied by nongovernment entities in the preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP. Rules and interpretive releases of the SEC under authority of federal securities laws are also sources of authoritative U.S. GAAP for SEC registrants. All guidance contained in the Codification carries equal level of authority. The Codification superseded all existing non-SEC accounting and reporting standards. All other non-grandfathered non-SEC accounting literature not included in the Codification is non-authoritive. The FASB will not issue new standards in the form of Statements, FASB Staff Positions or Emerging

Oak Ridge Micro-Energy, Inc.

(Development Stage Company)

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

Issues Task Force Abstracts. Instead, it will issue Accounting Standards Updates (“ASUs”). The FASB will not consider ASUs as authoritative in their own right. ASUs will serve only to update the Codification, provide background information about the guidance and provide the bases for conclusions on the change(s) in the Codification. References made to FASB guidance throughout this document have been updated for the Codification.

In March 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 161, “Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities”, which was primarily codified into Topic 815 “Derivatives and Hedging” in the ASC. SFAS 161 is intended to improve financial reporting about derivative instruments and hedging activities by requiring enhanced disclosures to enable investors to better understand their effects on an entity's financial position, financial performance, and cash flows. SFAS 161 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008, with early application encouraged. The Company has no derivative instruments so the adoption of SFAS 161 did not have any impact on the Company's financial statements.

In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141 (revised 2007) (“SFAS 141R”), “Business Combinations”, which was primarily codified into Topic 801 “Business Combinations” in the ASC, and SFAS No. 160 (“SFAS 160”), “Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements, an amendment of Accounting Research Bulletin No. 51”, which was primarily codified into Topic 810 “Consolidations” in the ASC. SFAS 141R will change how business acquisitions are accounted for and will impact financial statements both on the acquisition date and in subsequent periods. SFAS 160 will change the accounting and reporting for minority interests, which will be recharacterized as noncontrolling interests and classified as a component of equity. SFAS 141R and SFAS 160 are effective for the Company beginning January 1, 2009. Early adoption is not permitted. SFAS No. 141R will impact acquisitions occurring after January 1, 2009. SFAS No. 160 was adopted on January 1, 2009 with no material impact on the financial statements.

In October 2009, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2009-13 for Revenue Recognition - Multiple Deliverable Revenue Arrangements (Subtopic 605-25) “Subtopic.” This accounting standard update establishes the accounting and reporting guidance for arrangements under which the vendor will perform multiple revenue - generating activities. Vendors often provide multiple products or services to their customers. Those deliverables often are provided at different points in time or over different time periods. Specifically, this Subtopic addresses how to separate deliverables and how to measure and allocate arrangement consideration to one or more units of accounting. The amendments in this guidance will affect the accounting and reporting for all vendors that enter into multiple-deliverable arrangements with their customers when those arrangements are within the scope of this Subtopic. This Statement is effective for fiscal years beginning on or after June 15, 2010. Earlier adoption is permitted. If a vendor elects early adoption and the period of adoption is not the beginning of the entity's fiscal year, the entity will apply the amendments under this Subtopic retrospectively from the beginning of the entity's fiscal year. The presentation and disclosure requirements shall be applied retrospectively for all periods presented. Currently, Management believes this Statement will have no impact on the financial statements of the Company once adopted.

Note 3 – Accounting for Taxes

Below is a summary of deferred tax calculations for temporary taxable differences. Loss carry forward amounts expire at various times through 2029. No provision has been made in the financial statements for income taxes because the Company has accumulated losses from operations since reactivation. Any deferred tax benefit is offset entirely by valuation allowance since it is currently not likely that the Company will be significantly profitable in the near future to take advantage of the losses.

For the year ended December 31, 2009 and 2008, we recognized penalties and interest of $12,704 and $0, respectively. The accrued balance of penalties and interest as of December 31, 2009 and 2008 was $12,704 and $0, respectively.

Note 8 – Sale of Assets/Leaseback

Oak Ridge Micro-Energy, Inc.

(Development Stage Company)

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

On March 10, 2008, the Company entered into and completed an Equipment Purchase Agreement to sell its non-proprietary research and development equipment to Planar Energy Devices, Inc. This agreement allows the Company to have continued access to the equipment as may be needed for prototyping and testing by potential licensees and partners for up to a minimum of 18 months, at a price of $1,000 per month for the first six months and at a price to be agreed upon during the next 12 months. The total purchase price of the equipment was $600,000, which was paid on closing. Pursuant to ASC Topic 840, the Company has determined that substantially all of the remaining use of the property has been relinquished, in that the present value of future minimum lease payments is less than 10% of the fair value the equipment sold. Therefore, the gain has been recognized immediately. The Company did not utilize any of the leaseback option during 2009.

Note 10 – Subsequent Events

The Company has evaluated subsequent events as of April 15, 2010, and has concluded that no recognized or nonrecognized subsequent events have occurred since the year ended December 31, 2009.

ITEM 9: CHANGES IN AND DISAGREEMENTS WITH ACCOUNTANTS ON ACCOUNTING AND FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE

None; not applicable.

ITEM 9A: CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures, as of the end of the period covered by this report were effective such that the information required to be disclosed by us in reports filed under the Exchange Act is (i) recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms and (ii) accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding disclosure. A controls system cannot provide absolute assurance, however, that the objectives of the controls system are met, and no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within a company have been detected.

Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act). Our internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes of accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Therefore, even those systems determined to be effective can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving their control objectives.

Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer evaluated the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2009. In making this assessment, our management used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (“COSO”) in Internal Control - Integrated Framework. Based on this evaluation, our management, with the participation of the President and Secretary/Treasurer, concluded that, as of December 31, 2009, our internal control over financial reporting was effective.

This Annual Report does not include an attestation report of our registered public accounting firm regarding internal controls over financial reporting. Management’s report was not subject to attestation by our registered public accounting firm pursuant to the temporary rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission that permit the Company to provide only management’s report in this Annual Report.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There have been no changes in internal control over financial reporting.

ITEM 9B: OTHER INFORMATION

None, not applicable.

Promoters and Control Persons

See the heading “Transactions with Related Persons” below of Part III, Item 12.

Compliance with Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act

Our shares of common stock are registered under the Exchange Act, and therefore the officers, directors and holders of more than 10% of our outstanding shares are subject to the provisions of Section 16(a), which requires them to file with the Securities and Exchange Commission initial reports of ownership and reports of changes in ownership of common stock and our other equity securities. Officers, directors and greater than 10% beneficial owners are required by Securities and Exchange Commission regulations to furnish us with copies of all Section 16(a) reports they file. Based solely upon review of the copies of such forms furnished to us during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2009, there were no reports required to be filed.

Code of Ethics

We have adopted a Code of Ethics, and it was attached as Exhibit 14 to our Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for the year ended December 31, 2003. See Part IV, Item 15.

Corporate Governance

Nominating Committee

We have not established a Nominating Committee because we have only one director and one executive officer, and we believe that we are able to effectively manage the issues normally considered by a Nominating Committee.

If we do establish a Nominating Committee, we will disclose this change to our procedures in recommending nominees to our board of directors.

Audit Committee

We have not established an Audit Committee because we have only one director and one executive officer and our business operations are conducted from one location. We believe that we are able to effectively manage the issues normally considered by an Audit Committee.

If we do establish an Audit Committee, we will disclose this change to our procedures in recommending nominees to our board of directors.
