PART III — NARRATIVE

State below in reasonable detail the reasons why Forms 10-K, 20-F, 11-K, 10-Q, 10-D, N-SAR, N-CSR, or the transition report or portion thereof, could not be filed within the prescribed time period.

On July 17, 2009, the (“Petition Date”), Luna Innovations Incorporated (the “Registrant”) filed a voluntary petition for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Western District of Virginia (the “Bankruptcy Court”). Since the Petition Date, the Registrant has managed its affairs as a debtor and debtor-in-possession pursuant to Section 1107 and 1108 of the Bankruptcy Code.

The Registrant’s independent accounting firm prior to the Petition Date was Grant Thornton LLP (the “Independent Accountants”). On and after the Petition Date, the Independent Accountants were asked to provide an engagement letter to continue as the Registrant’s independent accounting firm. The process for generating that engagement letter was delayed by the consideration by the Independent Accountants of whether they wished to continue to be engaged by the Registrant. The Independent Accountants have since decided to continue as the Registrant’s independent accounting firm and submitted an engagement letter to the Registrant. The Registrant has executed and returned the engagement letter to the Independent Accountants.

In connection with the bankruptcy proceeding and pursuant to Sections 327 and 328 of the Bankruptcy Code, the Bankruptcy Court must approve all financial advisors, counsel and other professionals representing the Registrant. The Registrant is working with the Independent Accountants to prepare a motion asking the Bankruptcy Court for approval of the Independent Accountants as the Registrant’s independent accounting firm, and the Registrant intends to file such motion shortly. Therefore, the necessary quarterly review of the Registrant’s unaudited financial statements for the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2009 in accordance with Rule 10-01(d) of Regulation S-X has been delayed pending the filing of such motion and/or such approval by the Bankruptcy Court.

(2)

Have all other periodic reports required under Section 13 or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 or Section 30 of the Investment Company Act of 1940 during the preceding 12 months or for such shorter period that the registrant was required to file such report(s) been filed?

We cannot provide a reasonable estimate of our results of operations for the quarter ending June 30, 2009, because the necessary quarterly review of the Registrant’s unaudited financial statements in accordance with Rule 10-01(d) of Regulation S-X has not yet begun for the reasons set forth in Part III above.
