Item 3.02 Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities.

As previously disclosed on the Form 8-K dated January 29, 2009, on such date, Converted Organics Inc. (the "Company") entered into amendments (the "Amendments") to its secured convertible debentures in principal amount of a total of $4,500,000 (the "Debentures"), dated January 24, 2008 by and between the Company and each of Professional Offshore Opportunity Fund, Ltd, Professional Traders Fund, LLC and High Capital Funding, LLC (the "Debenture holders"), wherein the maturity date of the Debentures, which was January 24, 2009, was extended until July 24, 2009.

The Amendments also provide, that at any time prior to the amended maturity date, the Debenture holders may convert the principal amount of the Debentures into shares of Company common stock at the default conversion price included in the Debentures, calculated as of the date of any such conversion, such default conversion price being equal to 70% of the average of the three lowest closing prices of the Company’s common stock during the twenty-day trading period immediately prior to the notice of conversion.

The Company previously disclosed on a Form 8-K, dated April 2, 2009, that as of March 27, 2009 the Company had issued an aggregate of 2,458,836 shares of common stock upon the conversion of an aggregate of $1,803,989.18 of Debenture principal. In addition, the Company issued an aggregate of 200,000 shares of its restricted Company common stock in connection with the Debenture holders agreeing to execute the Amendments.

Since March 27, 2009 through March 31, 2009, the Company has issued to the Debenture holders an aggregate of 580,000 shares of common stock upon the conversion of an additional $345,563 of Debenture principal. As of March 31, 2009, the total number of shares outstanding was 10,792,400 and the remaining principal balance to be converted is approximately $2.2 million.

The issuances of the Company common stock in connection with the agreement to execute the Amendments and in connection with the conversions of the Debentures were completed pursuant to Section 4(2) and Rule 506 of Regulation D of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"). The Company determined based on representations of the Debenture holders that the Debenture holders were "accredited investors" as defined in Rule 501(a) under the Securities Act.
