Item 3.02 Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities.

As previously disclosed on January 3, 2012, Converted Organics ("the Company") entered into an agreement with an institutional investor whereby the Company agreed to sell to the investor twelve senior secured convertible notes (the "January Notes"). The initial January Note was issued on January 3, 2012 in an original principal amount of $247,500. The remaining eleven January Notes will each have an original principal amount of up to $237,600. Each January Note matures eight months after issuance. The total face value of the twelve notes under this agreement will be $2,861,100, assuming each note is sold for the full face value, to the investor, of which there is no assurance. The January Notes are convertible into shares of our common stock at a conversion price equal to 80% of lowest bid price of our common stock on the date of conversion. Also, as previously reported on March 12, 2012, the Company entered into an agreement with two investors, pursuant to which the Company agreed to effect an additional closing under the January 12, 2012 convertible note in which the Company issued the buyers new notes having an aggregate original principal amount of $550,000. As of August 3, 2012, the total principal outstanding on these notes was $1,760,160.

As of August 10, 2012, the principal amount of the Notes has declined to $1,636,360. From August 3, 2012 until August 10, 2012, a total of $123,800 in principal had been converted into 62,100,148 shares of common stock. Since the issuance of the Original Note and the addtional closing, a total of $366,300 in principal has been converted into 140,449,823 shares of common stock (after effect of the November 2011 and March 2012 reverse stock splits). The Note holders are accredited investors and the shares of common stock were issued in reliance on Section 3(a)(9) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.

As of August 10,2012 the Company had 320,980,295 shares of common stock outstanding.
