Item 2.04. Triggering Events That Accelerate or Increase a Direct Financial Obligation or an Obligation under and Off-Balance Sheet Arrangement

On December 24, 2008, Interlink Electronics, Inc. (the “Company”) received a letter dated December 24, 2008 (the “Letter”), from counsel to SRB Greenway Capital, L.P., SRB Greenway Capital (Q.P.), L.P. and SRB Greenway Offshore Operating Fund, L.P. (collectively the “Funds”), holders of 8% convertible notes (the “Notes”) and warrants issued by the Company.

The Letter demands the Company pay the Funds the sum of $88,886, purportedly representing liquidated damages for failing to timely comply with the terms of a registration rights agreement entered into between the Company and all holders of the Notes and warrants at or about the time the Notes were issued, which required the Company to file a registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission with respect to the securities issuable upon conversion of the Notes, and to cause such registration statement to become effective by a certain deadline.

Additionally, the Letter alleges that the Company defaulted under the Notes by failing to pay the $88,886 in liquidated damages and purports to declare all unpaid principal and accrued interest on the Notes immediately due and payable. The Funds currently own Notes totaling $263,943, which represents 5.2% of the total issue of the Notes. If the Company were found to be in default under the Notes held by the Funds, it is highly likely that the Company would be in default under the total issue of the Notes. Further, if the Company were to pay these amounts immediately, it may deplete the Company’s cash such that a default could occur in the Company’s bank line of credit. The Company does not currently have any borrowings under its bank line of credit.

Furthermore, the Letter alleges that the Company also defaulted under the Notes when, as discussed in the Company’s 8-K filed on December 23, 2008, other noteholders purportedly accelerated their Notes in a letter dated December 17, 2008 and the acceleration was not rescinded, annulled or otherwise cured on or prior to December 27, 2008.

The Company disputes that it is in default under the Notes, and the Company intends to vigorously defend against any allegations to the contrary. However, the Company is continuing to review the liquidated damages matter and intends to respond accordingly.
