PROSPECTUS
SUMMARY
The
following is only a summary of the information, financial statements and the
notes thereto included in this prospectus (the “
Prospectus
”). You
should read the entire Prospectus carefully, including “Risk Factors” and our
financial statements and the notes thereto before making any investment
decision.
Business
Overview
XsunX,
Inc. is a Colorado corporation formerly known as Sun River Mining Inc. (referred
to herein as the “
Company
”, “
XsunX
”, or “
we
”, “
us
” or “
our
”). The Company was originally incorporated on February 25, 1997. In
the fiscal year ended September 30, 2009, we modified our previous business
plans which were to directly establish a solar module manufacturing
infrastructure. We have re-focused our operations on the development
of a cross-industry thin film solar manufacturing concept that we believe
provides an opportunity for us to establish a competitive advantage within the
solar industry. Our current efforts are focused on developing the combination of
highly developed thin film solar processes with state-of-the-art mature magnetic
media thin film manufacturing technologies derived from the hard disc drive
(HDD) industry in an effort to improve manufacturing output, increase cell
efficiency and production yields, and lower costs for the production of high
efficiency Copper Indium Gallium (di) Selenide (CIGS) thin film solar
cells.
It is our
belief that by leveraging the manufacturing processes from the HDD industry and
adapting them to thin-film CIGS solar technologies, we can reduce the cost per
watt for solar power to well below $1 per watt, thereby making solar power a
viable alternative in the energy field. Furthermore, it is our belief
that our expertise, experience and the proprietary technology we are developing
in this area will allow us to seek joint ventures with larger companies thereby
generating revenue streams through licensing fees and manufacturing
royalties.
Re-Focused
Plan of Operations
In late
2008, we began investigating the viability of small area CIGS thin film solar
manufacturing technology that would employ the use of high rate thin film
manufacturing techniques successfully used within the magnetic media industry to
produce hard disc drives (HDD). For decades, the HDD industry has had
to continually improve manufacturing output, and production yields, to lower the
costs for the production of high efficiency magnetic media. In January 2009, we
began working directly with the HDD industry to validate the possibility of
transitioning this manufacturing technology to the thin film photovoltaic (TFPV)
industry and more specifically for the manufacture of CIGS solar
cells.
In
February, 2009, with Intevac, Inc., a leading provider of magnetic
media deposition equipment to the hard disk drive (HDD) industry, we began to
collaborate in the development of techniques and equipment for the production of
commercially marketable processes and equipment for the manufacture of
CIGS thin-film solar cells on small area wafers similar in size to
traditional crystalline silicon wafers of approximately 5”
squares. Through the successful combination of cross-industry
specialties, we plan to develop a new breed of thin film photovoltaic (TFPV)
manufacturing techniques to produce CIGS based thin-film solar
cells.
About
CIGS Thin Film Solar Devices
Copper
Indium Gallium (di) Selenide (CIGS) exceeds all other thin film solar cell
performance to date delivering nearly 20% conversions in laboratory
environments. The Nation Renewable Energy Laboratories (NREL) believes that CIGS
solar module efficiencies could easily match silicon performance while costing
less to produce. It is this high efficiency low cost potential for CIGS, and its
wide array of uses and applications, that provides the basis to drive the cost
of energy production for alternative sources to unprecedented new lows. For this
reason NREL views CIGS as a significant solar technology and supports continuous
development and research efforts related to CIGS thin films. We have
found interest in our CIGS program at NREL and are working with NREL in an
effort to establish either a Cooperative Research and Development Agreement
or a Technical Services Agreement to assist in the future commercialization
process.
We
believe that through the successful combination of small area processing
techniques with the high rate processing techniques developed within the hard
disc media industry, overall factory yields (total watts of production per day)
can be increased thereby resulting in lower production costs while still
delivering the full energy and low cost potential that CIGS based devices can
offer.

The
Offering
This
Prospectus relates to the sale of up to 27,500,000 shares of the common stock,
no par value per share, of XsunX, Inc. by certain persons who are stockholders
of the Company. The selling stockholder is Lincoln Park Capital Fund,
LLC (“
LPC
”).
On March
30, 2010, we entered into a purchase agreement (the “
Purchase Agreement
”)
with LPC, whereby LPC agreed to purchase up to an aggregate of $5,000,000 of our
common stock (the “
Purchase
Shares
”). Pursuant to the terms of the Purchase Agreement, LPC
purchased an initial amount of $500,000 of Purchase Shares (5,000,000 Purchase
Shares) from us, and in consideration for LPC entering into the Purchase
Agreement we agreed to the issuance of up to 2,500,000 shares of common stock
(the “Commitment Shares”) to LPC of which 1,250,000 have been issued to
LPC. Further, subject to our satisfaction of certain conditions, such
as the effectiveness of a registration statement covering the shares under the
Purchase Agreement, LPC agreed to buy more of the Purchase Shares at
our direction, at any time, in any amount up to $50,000 at a
specified purchase price per share. Also, pursuant to the terms of
the Purchase Agreement, after the SEC has declared effective the registration
statement, we will have the right, over a 25-month period, to sell the remaining
Purchase Shares to LPC in amounts up to $500,000 per sale, subject to certain
conditions as set forth in the Purchase Agreement, up to the aggregate
commitment of $5,000,000.
Please
refer to “Selling Stockholder” beginning on page 11.
The
Company is not selling any shares of common stock in this offering and therefore
will not receive any proceeds from this offering. However, may receive up to
$5,000,000 from LPC in connection with the initial sale of the Purchase Shares
under the Purchase Agreement. Any proceeds from LPC that we receive under the
Purchase Agreement will be used for working capital and general corporate
purposes. All costs associated with this registration will be borne by the
Company.
Shares of
common stock are being offered for sale by the selling stockholder at prices
established on the Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board (the “
OTCBB
”) during the
term of this offering. On June 7, 2010, the last reported sale price
of our common stock was $0.12 per share. Our common stock is quoted
on the OTCBB under the symbol “XSNX.OB”. These prices will fluctuate
based on the demand for the shares of our common stock.

RISK
FACTORS
We
are subject to various risks that may materially harm our business, financial
condition and results of operations. An investor should carefully consider the
risks and uncertainties described below and the other information in this filing
before deciding to purchase our common stock. If any of these risks or
uncertainties actually occurs, our business, financial condition or operating
results could be materially harmed. In that case, the trading price of our
common stock could decline or we may be forced to cease operations.
RISKS
RELATED TO OUR BUSINESS
We
have a limited operating history with significant losses and expect losses to
continue for the foreseeable future, as such we expect that we will need to
obtain additional financing to continue to operate our business, including
capital expenditures to complete the development of marketable thin film
manufacturing technologies, and financing may be unavailable or available only
on disadvantageous terms which could cause the Company to curtail its business
operations and delay the execution of its business plan.
We are a
development stage company and, to date, have not generated any significant
revenues. The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in conformity
with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S., which contemplate our
continuation as a going concern. Net loss for the years ended September 30, 2009
and 2008 was $10,634,133 and $4,058,952, respectively. Net cash used for
operations was $2,862,327 and $2,695,476 for the years ended September 30, 2009
and 2008, respectively. From inception through September 30, 2009, we had an
accumulated deficit of $31,709,202. Our revenues have not been sufficient to
sustain our operations and we expect that our revenues will not be sufficient to
sustain our operations for the foreseeable future. As such, we expect that we
will continue to need significant financing to operate our business.
Furthermore, there can be no assurance that additional financing will be
available or that the terms of such additional financing, if available, will be
acceptable to us. If additional financing is not available or not available on
terms acceptable to us, our ability to fund our operations, complete the
development of marketable technologies, develop a sales network, maintain our
research and development efforts or otherwise respond to competitive pressures
may be significantly impaired. We could also be forced to curtail our business
operations, reduce our investments, decrease or eliminate capital expenditures
and delay the execution of our business plan, including, without limitation, all
aspects of our operations, which would have a material adverse affect on our
business. The items discussed above raise substantial doubt about our ability to
continue as a going concern. We cannot assure you that we can achieve or sustain
profitability in the future. Our operations are subject to the risks and
competition inherent in the establishment of a business enterprise. There can be
no assurance that future operations will be profitable. Revenues and profits, if
any, will depend upon various factors, including whether our product development
can be completed, whether our products will achieve market acceptance and
whether we obtain additional financing. We may not achieve our business
objectives and the failure to achieve such goals would have a materially adverse
impact on us.
We
may be required to raise additional financing by issuing new securities with
terms or rights superior to those of our shares of common stock, which could
adversely affect the market price of our shares of common stock and our
business.
We will
require additional financing to fund future operations, including expansion in
current and new markets, development and acquisition, capital costs and the
costs of any necessary implementation of technological innovations or
alternative technologies. We may not be able to obtain financing on favorable
terms, if at all. If we raise additional funds by issuing equity securities, the
percentage ownership of our current stockholders will be reduced, and the
holders of the new equity securities may have rights superior to those of the
holders of shares of common stock, which could adversely affect the market price
and the voting power of shares of our common stock. If we raise additional funds
by issuing debt securities, the holders of these debt securities would similarly
have some rights senior to those of the holders of shares of common stock, and
the terms of these debt securities could impose restrictions on operations and
create a significant interest expense for us which could have a materially
adverse affect on our business.
Particularly,
we may direct LPC to purchase up to an additional $4,500,000 worth of shares of
our common stock over a 25 month period generally in amounts of up to $50,000
every 2 business days. However, LPC shall not have the right nor the obligation
to purchase any shares of our common stock on any business day that the market
price of our common stock is less than $0.08. Assuming a
purchase price of $0.12 per share (the closing sale price of the common stock on
June 7, 2010) and the purchase by LPC of the 25,000,000 Purchase Shares being
registered hereunder, proceeds to us would only be $2,982,258.
The
extent that we rely on LPC as a source of funding will depend on a number of
factors including, the prevailing market price of our common stock and the
extent to which we are able to secure working capital from other
sources such as through the sale of our products. If obtaining
sufficient funding from LPC were to prove unavailable or prohibitively dilutive
and if we are unable to sell enough of our products, we may need to secure
another source of funding in order to satisfy our working capital
needs. Even if we sell all $5,000,000 worth of common stock under the
Purchase Agreement to LPC, we may still need additional capital to fully
implement our business, operating and development plans. Should the
financing we require to sustain our working capital needs be unavailable or
prohibitively expensive when we require it, the consequences could be a material
adverse effect on our business, operating results, financial condition and
prospects.
If
future products based on technologies we are developing cannot be developed for
manufacture and sold commercially or our products become obsolete or
noncompetitive, we may be unable to recover our investments or achieve
profitability which will have a materially adverse affect on our
business.
There can
be no assurance that our research and development efforts will be successful or
that we will be able to develop commercial applications for our products and
technologies. Further, the areas in which we are developing technologies and
products are characterized by rapid and significant technological change. Rapid
technological development may result in our products becoming obsolete or
noncompetitive. If future products based on our technologies cannot be developed
for manufacture and sold commercially or our products become obsolete or
noncompetitive, we may be unable to recover our investments or achieve
profitability. In addition, the commercialization schedule may be delayed if we
experience delays in meeting development goals, if products based on our
technologies exhibit technical defects, or if we are unable to meet cost or
performance goals. In this event, potential purchasers of products based on our
technologies may choose alternative technologies and any delays could allow
potential competitors to gain market advantages.
There
is no assurance that the market will accept our products once development has
been completed which could have an adverse affect on our business.
There can
be no assurance that products based on our technologies will be perceived as
being superior to existing products or new products being developed by competing
companies or that such products will otherwise be accepted by consumers. The
market prices for products based on our technologies may exceed the prices of
competitive products based on existing technologies or new products based on
technologies currently under development by competitors. There can be no
assurance that the prices of products based on our technologies will be
perceived by consumers as cost-effective or that the prices of such products
will be competitive with existing products or with other new products or
technologies. If consumers do not accept products based on our technologies, we
may be unable to recover our investments or achieve profitability.
Other
companies, many of which have greater resources than we have, may develop
competing products or technologies which cause products based on our
technologies to become noncompetitive which could have an adverse affect on our
business.
We will
be competing with firms, both domestic and foreign, that perform research and
development, as well as firms that manufacture and sell solar products. In
addition, we expect additional potential competitors to enter the markets for
solar products in the future. Some of these current and potential competitors
are among the largest industrial companies in the world with longer operating
histories, greater name recognition, access to larger customer bases,
well-established business organizations and product lines and significantly
greater resources and research and development staff and facilities. There can
be no assurance that one or more such companies will not succeed in developing
technologies or products that will become available for commercial sale prior to
our products, that will have performance superior to products based on our
technologies or that would otherwise render our products noncompetitive. If we
fail to compete successfully, our business would suffer and we may lose or be
unable to gain market share.
The
loss of strategic relationships used in the development of our thin film
manufacturing technologies and products could impede our ability to complete the
development of our products and have a material adverse affect on our
business.
We have
established a plan of operations under which a portion of our operations rely on
strategic relationships with third parties, to provide systems design, assembly
and support. A loss of any of our third party relationships for any reason could
cause us to experience difficulties in implementing our business strategy. There
can be no assurance that we could establish other relationships of adequate
expertise in a timely manner or at all.
We
may suffer the loss of key personnel or may be unable to attract and retain
qualified personnel to maintain and expand our business which could have a
material adverse affect on our business.
Our
success is highly dependent on the continued services of a limited number of
skilled managers, scientists and technicians. The loss of any of these
individuals could have a material adverse effect on us. In addition, our success
will depend upon, among other factors, the recruitment and retention of
additional highly skilled and experienced management and technical personnel.
There can be no assurance that we will be able to retain existing employees or
to attract and retain additional personnel on acceptable terms given the
competition for such personnel in industrial, academic and nonprofit research
sectors.
We
may not be successful in protecting our intellectual property and proprietary
rights and may be required to expend significant amounts of money and time in
attempting to protect these rights. If we are unable to protect our intellectual
property and proprietary rights, our competitive position in the market could
suffer.
Our
intellectual property consists of patents, trade secrets, and trade dress. Our
success depends in part on our ability to obtain patents and maintain adequate
protection of our other intellectual property for our technologies and products
in the U.S. and in other countries. The laws of some foreign countries do not
protect proprietary rights to the same extent as do the laws of the U.S., and
many companies have encountered significant problems in protecting their
proprietary rights in these foreign countries. These problems may be caused by,
among other factors, a lack of rules and methods for defending intellectual
property rights.
Our
future commercial success requires us not to infringe on patents and proprietary
rights of third parties, or breach any licenses or other agreements that we have
entered into with respect to our technologies, products and businesses. The
enforceability of patent positions cannot be predicted with certainty. We intend
to apply for patents covering both our technologies and our products, if any, as
we deem appropriate. Patents, if issued, may be challenged, invalidated or
circumvented. There can be no assurance that no other relevant patents have been
issued that could block our ability to obtain patents or to operate as we would
like. Others may develop similar technologies or may duplicate technologies
developed by us.
We are
not currently a party to any litigation with respect to any of our patent
positions or trade secrets. However, if we become involved in litigation or
interference proceedings declared by the United States Patent and Trademark
Office, or other intellectual property proceedings outside of the U.S., we might
have to spend significant amounts of money to defend our intellectual property
rights. If any of our competitors file patent applications or obtain patents
that claim inventions or other rights also claimed by us, we may have to
participate in interference proceedings declared by the relevant patent
regulatory agency to determine priority of invention and our right to a patent
of these inventions in the U.S. Even if the outcome is favorable, such
proceedings might result in substantial costs to us, including, significant
legal fees and other expenses, diversion of management time and disruption of
our business. Even if successful on priority grounds, an interference proceeding
may result in loss of claims based on patentability grounds raised in the
interference proceeding. Uncertainties resulting from initiation and
continuation of any patent or related litigation also might harm our ability to
continue our research or to bring products to market.
An
adverse ruling arising out of any intellectual property dispute, including an
adverse decision as to the priority of our inventions would undercut or
invalidate our intellectual property position. An adverse ruling also could
subject us to significant liability for damages, prevent us from using certain
processes or products, or require us to enter into royalty or licensing
agreements with third parties. Furthermore, necessary licenses may not be
available to us on satisfactory terms, or at all.
Confidentiality
agreements with employees and others may not adequately prevent disclosure of
trade secrets and other proprietary information and such disclosure could hurt
our competitive position in the market.
To
protect our proprietary technologies and processes, we rely on trade secret
protection as well as on formal legal devices such as patents. Although we have
taken security measures to protect our trade secrets and other proprietary
information, these measures may not provide adequate protection for such
information. Our policy is to execute confidentiality and proprietary
information agreements with each of our employees and consultants upon the
commencement of an employment or consulting arrangement with us. These
agreements generally require that all confidential information developed by the
individual or made known to the individual by us during the course of the
individual’s relationship with us be kept confidential and not be disclosed to
third parties. These agreements also generally provide that technology conceived
by the individual in the course of rendering services to us shall be our
exclusive property. Even though these agreements are in place there can be no
assurances that that trade secrets and proprietary information will not be
disclosed, that others will not independently develop substantially equivalent
proprietary information and techniques or otherwise gain access to our trade
secrets, or that we can fully protect our trade secrets and proprietary
information. Violations by others of our confidentiality agreements and the loss
of employees who have specialized knowledge and expertise could harm our
competitive position and cause our sales and operating results to decline as a
result of increased competition. Costly and time-consuming litigation might be
necessary to enforce and determine the scope of our proprietary rights, and
failure to obtain or maintain trade secret protection might adversely affect our
ability to continue our research or bring products to market.
Downturns
in general economic conditions could adversely affect our
profitability.
Downturns
in general economic conditions can cause fluctuations in demand for our
products, product prices, volumes and margins. Future economic conditions may
not be favorable to our industry. A decline in the demand for our products or a
shift to lower-margin products due to deteriorating economic conditions could
adversely affect sales of our intended products and our profitability and could
also result in impairments of certain of our assets.
Our
common stock is considered a “penny stock” and as a result, related
broker-dealer requirements may hamper its trading and liquidity.
Our
common stock is considered to be a “penny stock” since it meets one or more of
the definitions in Rules 15g-2 through 15g-6 promulgated under
Section 15(g) of the Exchange Act. These include but are not limited to the
following: (i) the common stock trades at a price less than $5.00 per
share; (ii) the common stock is not traded on a “recognized” national
exchange; (iii) the common stock is not quoted on the NASDAQ Stock Market,
or (iv) the common stock is issued by a company with average revenues of
less than $6.0 million for the past three (3) years. The principal result
or effect of being designated a “penny stock” is that securities broker-dealers
cannot recommend our common stock to investors, thus hampering its
liquidity.
Section 15(g)
and Rule 15g-2 require broker-dealers dealing in penny stocks to provide
potential investors with documentation disclosing the risks of penny stocks and
to obtain a manually signed and dated written receipt of the documents before
effecting any transaction in a penny stock for the investor’s account. Potential
investors in our common stock are urged to obtain and read such disclosure
carefully before purchasing any of our shares.
Moreover,
Rule 15g-9 requires broker-dealers in penny stocks to approve the account
of any investor for transactions in such stocks before selling any penny stock
to that investor. This procedure requires the broker-dealer to (i) obtain
from the investor information concerning his or her financial situation,
investment experience and investment objectives; (ii) reasonably determine,
based on that information, that transactions in penny stocks are suitable for
the investor and that the investor has sufficient knowledge and experience as to
be reasonably capable of evaluating the risks of penny stock transactions;
(iii) provide the investor with a written statement setting forth the basis
on which the broker-dealer made the determination in (ii) above; and
(iv) receive a signed and dated copy of such statement from the investor,
confirming that it accurately reflects the investor’s financial situation,
investment experience and investment objectives.
The
trading market in our common stock is limited and may cause volatility in the
market price which may adversely affect stockholders’ ability to
trade.
Our
common stock is currently traded on a limited basis on the OTCBB. The OTCBB is
an inter-dealer, over-the-counter market that provides significantly less
liquidity than the NASDAQ Stock Market and the other national markets. Quotes
for stocks included on the OTCBB are not listed in the financial sections of
newspapers as are those for the NASDAQ Stock Market. Therefore, prices for
securities traded solely on the OTCBB may be difficult to obtain.
The
quotation of our common stock on the OTCBB does not assure that a meaningful,
consistent and liquid trading market currently exists, and in recent years such
market has experienced extreme price and volume fluctuations that have
particularly affected the market prices of many smaller companies like us. Thus,
the market price for our common stock is subject to volatility and holders of
common stock may be unable to resell their shares at or near their original
purchase price or at any price. In the absence of an active trading
market:
|
·
|
investors may have difficulty
buying and selling or obtaining market
quotations;
|
|
·
|
market visibility for our common
stock may be limited; and
|
|
·
|
a lack of visibility for our
common stock may have a depressive effect on the market for our common
stock.
|
Due to
the low price of the securities, many brokerage firms may not be willing to
effect transactions in the securities. Even if a purchaser finds a broker
willing to effect a transaction in these securities, the combination of
brokerage commissions, state transfer taxes, if any, and any other selling costs
may exceed the selling price. Further, many lending institutions will not permit
the use of such securities as collateral for any loans. Such
restrictions could have a materially adverse affect on our
business.
We
may have difficulty raising necessary capital to fund operations as a result of
market price volatility for our shares of common stock.
The
market price of our common stock is likely to be highly volatile and could
fluctuate widely in price in response to various factors, many of which are
beyond our control, including:
|
•
|
technological innovations or new
products and services by us or our
competitors;
|
|
•
|
additions or departures of key
personnel;
|
|
•
|
sales of our common
stock;
|
|
•
|
our ability to integrate
operations, technology, products and
services;
|
|
•
|
our ability to execute our
business plan;
|
|
•
|
operating results below
expectations;
|
|
•
|
loss of any strategic
relationship;
|
|
•
|
economic and other external
factors; and
|
|
•
|
period-to-period fluctuations in
our financial results.
|
Because
we have a limited operating history with limited revenues to date, you may
consider any one of these factors to be material. Our stock price may fluctuate
widely as a result of any of the above listed factors. In recent
years, the securities markets in the U.S. have experienced a high level of price
and volume volatility, and the market price of securities of many companies have
experienced wide fluctuations that have not necessarily been related to the
operations, performances, underlying asset values or prospects of such
companies. For these reasons, our shares of common stock can also be expected to
be subject to volatility resulting from purely market forces over which we will
have no control. If our business development plans are successful, we may
require additional financing to continue to develop and exploit existing and new
technologies and to expand into new markets. The exploitation of our
technologies may, therefore, be dependent upon our ability to obtain financing
through debt and equity or other means.
RISKS
RELATED TO THIS OFFERING
The
sale
of our common stock to LPC may cause
dilution and the sale of the shares of common stock acquired by LPC could cause
the price of our common stock to decline.
In
connection with entering into the Purchase Agreement, we authorized the sale to
LPC of up to 25,000,000 shares of our common stock of which LPC has already
purchased 5,000,000 shares, and the issuance of up to 2,500,000 shares of common
stock as a commitment fee of which 1,250,000 shares have been issued to LPC. The
number of shares ultimately offered for sale by LPC under this Prospectus is
dependent upon the number of shares purchased by LPC under the agreement. The
purchase price for the common stock to be sold to LPC pursuant to the Purchase
Agreement will fluctuate based on the price of our common stock. All 27,500,000
shares registered in this offering are expected to be freely tradable. It is
anticipated that shares registered in this offering will be sold over a period
of up to 25 months from the date of this Prospectus. Depending upon market
liquidity at the time, a sale of shares under this offering at any given time
could cause the trading price of our common stock to decline. We can elect to
direct purchases in our sole discretion but no sales may occur if the price of
our common stock is below $0.08 and therefore, LPC may ultimately purchase all,
some or none of the remaining 20,000,000 Purchase Shares registered in this
offering (Such 20,000,000 Purchase Shares not including the 1,250,000 pro rata
Commitment Shares that may be issued under the Purchase Agreement, as described
in “Selling Stockholder” on page 11.) After it has acquired such shares, it may
sell all, some or none of such shares. Therefore, sales to LPC by us under the
Purchase Agreement may result in substantial dilution to the interests of other
holders of our common stock. The sale of a substantial number of shares of our
common stock under this offering, or anticipation of such sales, could make it
more difficult for us to sell equity or equity-related securities in the future
at a time and at a price that we might otherwise wish to effect sales. However,
we have the right to control the timing and amount of any sales of our shares to
LPC and the agreement may be terminated by us at any time at our discretion
without any cost to us.
The
price you pay in this offering will fluctuate and may be higher or lower than
the prices paid by other people participating in this offering.
The price
in this offering will fluctuate based on the prevailing market price of our
common stock on the OTCBB. Accordingly, the price you pay in this
offering may be higher or lower than the prices paid by other people
participating in this offering.
The market price of our common stock
is highly volatile
.
The
market price of our common stock has been and is expected to continue to be
highly volatile. Factors, including announcements of technological innovations
by us or other companies, regulatory matters, new or existing products or
procedures, concerns about our financial position, operating results,
litigation, government regulation, developments or disputes relating to
agreements, patents or proprietary rights, may have a significant impact on the
market price of our common stock. In addition, potential dilutive
effects of future sales of shares of common stock by stockholders
and by the Company,
including the selling stockholder pursuant to this Prospectus, and subsequent
sale of common stock by the holders of warrants and options could have an
adverse effect on the market price of our shares.

Transaction
with LPC
On
March 30, 2010 (the “
Closing Date
”), we
entered into the Purchase Agreement with LPC, whereby LPC agreed to purchase up
to an aggregate of $5,000,000 of our common stock (the “
Purchase
Shares
”). Pursuant to the terms of the Purchase Agreement, on
the Closing Date, LPC purchased an initial amount of $500,000 of Purchase Shares
(5,000,000 Purchase Shares) from the Company. Further, subject to the Company’s
satisfaction of certain conditions, such as the effectiveness of a registration
statement in connection with this Prospectus (the “
Registration
Statement
”) covering the Purchase Shares and Commitment Shares (as
defined below), LPC agreed to buy more of the Purchase Shares at our direction,
at any time, in any amount up to $50,000 at the Purchase Price per share on the
Purchase Date, as such terms are defined by the Purchase
Agreement. Also, pursuant to the terms of the Purchase Agreement,
after the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “
SEC
”) has declared
effective the Registration Statement, we will have the right, over a 25-month
period, to sell the remaining Purchase Shares to LPC in amounts up to $500,000
per sale, subject to certain conditions as set forth in the Purchase Agreement,
up to the aggregate commitment of $5,000,000.
The
Purchase Agreement does not set any upper limits with respect to the price that
LPC may pay to purchase the Purchase Shares. The purchase price of the remaining
$4,500,000 of Purchase Shares will be based on the prevailing market prices of
our common stock at the time of such purchases without any fixed discount, and
we will control the timing and amount of any sales of Purchase Shares to
LPC. Pursuant to the terms of the Purchase Agreement, LPC shall not
have the right or the obligation to purchase any Purchase Shares on any business
day that the price of common stock is below $0.08. Other than the foregoing
scenario, or the occurrence of any of the events of default described in the
subsection below, there are no other circumstances allowing LPC to refrain from
purchasing the Purchase Shares.
Pursuant
to the terms of the Purchase Agreement, we issued to LPC 1,250,000 shares of our
common stock as a commitment fee in consideration of LPC entering into the
Purchase Agreement, and the Company agreed to issue an equivalent amount of
shares of common stock pro rata as LPC purchases the remaining $4,500,000 (such
shares, collectively, the “
Commitment Shares
”).
The Purchase Agreement may be terminated by us at any time at our discretion
without any cost to the Company. Except for a limitation on variable
priced financings, there are no negative covenants, restrictions on future
fundings, penalties or liquidated damages in the Purchase
Agreement. The proceeds received by us under the Purchase Agreement
are expected to be used in the development of thin film manufacturing equipment
and technologies, general and administrative costs, and general working
capital.
Also
on the Closing Date, we entered into a registration rights agreement with LPC
(the “
Registration
Rights Agreement
”) whereby we agreed to file the Registration Statement
with the SEC within 25 business days of the Closing Date.
Events
of Default
Generally,
LPC may terminate the Purchase Agreement without any liability or payment to us
upon the occurrence of any of the following events of default:
• the
effectiveness of the Registration Statement of which this Prospectus is a part
of lapses for any reason (including, without limitation, the issuance of a stop
order) or is unavailable to LPC for sale of our common stock offered hereby and
such lapse or unavailability continues for a period of ten (10) consecutive
business days or for more than an aggregate of thirty (30) business days in any
365-day period;
• suspension
by our principal market of our common stock from trading for a period of three
(3) consecutive business days;
• the
de-listing of our common stock from our principal market provided our common
stock is not immediately thereafter trading on the Nasdaq Capital Market, the
Nasdaq Global Market, the Nasdaq Global Select Market, the New York Stock
Exchange or the NYSE AMEX;
• the
transfer agent’s failure for five (5) business days to issue to LPC shares of
our common stock which LPC is entitled to under the Purchase
Agreement;
• any
material breach of the representations or warranties or covenants contained in
the Purchase Agreement or any related agreements which has or which could have a
material adverse effect on us subject to a cure period of five (5) business
days; or
• any
participation or threatened participation in insolvency or bankruptcy
proceedings by or against us; or
• a
material adverse change in our business.
Our
Termination Rights Under the Purchase Agreement
We have
the unconditional right at any time for any reason to give notice to LPC
terminating the Purchase Agreement without any cost to us.
No
Short-Selling or Hedging by LPC
LPC has
agreed that neither it nor any of its affiliates shall engage in any direct or
indirect short-selling or hedging of our common stock during any time prior to
the termination of the Purchase Agreement.
Effect
of Performance of the Purchase Agreement on Our Stockholders
All
27,500,000 shares registered in this offering are expected to be freely
tradable. It is anticipated that shares registered in this offering
will be sold over a period of up to 25 months from the date of this
Prospectus. The sale by LPC of a significant amount of shares
registered in this offering at any given time could cause the market price of
our common stock to decline and to be highly volatile. LPC may
ultimately purchase all, some or none of the remaining 20,000,000 Purchase
Shares registered in this offering; such 20,000,000 Purchase Shares exclusive of
1,250,000 pro rata Commitment Shares that may be issued under the Purchase
Agreement. After it has acquired such shares, it may sell all, some
or none of such shares. Therefore, sales to LPC by us under the
agreement may result in substantial dilution to the interests of other holders
of our common stock. However, we have the right to control the timing and amount
of any sales of our shares to LPC and the agreement may be terminated by us at
any time at our discretion without any cost to us.
In
connection with entering into the Purchase Agreement, we authorized the sale to
LPC of up to 25,000,000 shares of our common stock exclusive of the 1,250,000
Commitment Shares issued and the 1,250,000 Commitment Shares that may be issued
and are part of this offering.
We will sell no more
than 25,000,000 shares to LPC under the Purchase Agreement all of which are
included in this offering. We have the right to terminate the
agreement without any payment or liability to LPC at any time, including in the
event that all $5,000,000 is sold to LPC under the Purchase Agreement.
The number
of shares ultimately offered for sale by LPC under this Prospectus is dependent
upon the number of shares purchased by LPC under the Purchase
Agreement. The following table sets forth the amount of proceeds we
would receive from LPC from the sale of shares at varying purchase
prices:

PLAN
OF DISTRIBUTION
The
common stock offered by this Prospectus is being offered by LPC, the selling
shareholder
.
The common stock may be sold or distributed from time to time by the
selling stockholder directly to one or more purchasers or through brokers,
dealers, or underwriters who may act solely as agents at market prices
prevailing at the time of sale, at prices related to the prevailing market
prices, at negotiated prices, or at fixed prices, which may be
changed. The sale of the common stock offered by this Prospectus may
be affected in one or more of the following methods:
|
•
|
ordinary brokers’
transactions;
|
|
•
|
transactions involving cross or
block trades;
|
|
•
|
through brokers, dealers, or
underwriters who may act solely as
agents;
|
|
•
|
“at the market” into an existing
market for the common stock;
|
|
•
|
in other ways not involving
market makers or established business markets, including direct sales to
purchasers or sales effected through
agents;
|
|
•
|
in privately negotiated
transactions; or
|
|
•
|
any combination of the
foregoing.
|
In order
to comply with the securities laws of certain states, if applicable, the shares
may be sold only through registered or licensed brokers or
dealers. In addition, in certain states, the shares may not be sold
unless they have been registered or qualified for sale in the state or an
exemption from the registration or qualification requirement is available and
complied with.
Brokers,
dealers, underwriters, or agents participating in the distribution of the shares
as agents may receive compensation in the form of commissions, discounts, or
concessions from the selling shareholder and/or purchasers of the common stock
for whom the broker-dealers may act as agent. The compensation paid
to a particular broker-dealer may be less than or in excess of customary
commissions.
LPC is an
“underwriter” within the meaning of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended
(“
Securities
Act
”).
Neither
we nor LPC can presently estimate the amount of compensation that any agent will
receive. We know of no existing arrangements between LPC, any
other shareholder, broker, dealer, underwriter, or agent relating to the
sale or distribution of the shares of common stock offered by this

underwriters, broker-dealers, or agents. We have also agreed to
indemnify LPC and related persons against specified liabilities, including
liabilities under the Securities Act.
Insofar
as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be
permitted to our directors, officers, and controlling persons, we have been
advised that in the opinion of the SEC this indemnification is against public
policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is therefore,
unenforceable.
LPC and
its affiliates have agreed not to engage in any direct or indirect short selling
or hedging of our common stock during the term of the Purchase
Agreement.
We have
advised LPC that while it is engaged in a distribution of the shares included in

DESCRIPTION
OF CAPITAL STOCK
General
Our
authorized capital stock consists of 500,000,000 shares of common stock at a no
par value and 50,000,000 shares of preferred stock at a par value of $0.01 per
share (“
Preferred
Stock
”). There are no provisions in our articles of incorporation or
bylaws that would delay, defer or prevent a change in our control.
Common
Stock
As of
June 7, 2010, 208,484,641 shares of common stock are issued and outstanding and
held by approximately 283 stockholders of record. Holders of our common stock
are entitled to one (1) vote for each share on all matters submitted to a
stockholder vote.
Holders
of common stock do not have cumulative voting rights. Therefore, holders of a
majority of the shares of common stock voting for the election of directors can
elect all of the directors. Holders of our common stock representing a majority
of the voting power of our capital stock issued and outstanding and entitled to
vote, represented in person or by proxy, are necessary to constitute a quorum at
any meeting of our stockholders. A vote by the holders of a majority of our
outstanding shares is required to effectuate certain fundamental corporate
changes such as liquidation, merger or an amendment to our articles of
incorporation.
Although
there are no provisions in our charter or bylaws that may delay, defer or
prevent a change in control, we are authorized, without stockholder approval, to
issue shares of preferred stock that may contain rights or restrictions that
could have this effect.
Holders
of common stock are entitled to share in all dividends that our Board of
Directors (the “
Board
”), in its
discretion, declares from legally available funds. In the event of liquidation,
dissolution or winding up, each outstanding share entitles its holder to
participate pro rata in all assets that remain after payment of liabilities and
after providing for each class of stock, if any, having preference over the
common stock. Holders of our common stock have no pre-emptive rights, no
conversion rights and there are no redemption provisions applicable to our
common stock.
Preferred
Stock
We are
authorized to issue up to 50,000,000 shares of Preferred
Stock. Dividends on the Preferred Stock may be declared from time to
time by our Board. The preferred shares are entitled to a preference
over holders of our common stock equal to the par value of the shares of
Preferred Stock held, plus any unpaid dividends declared. As of June
7, 2010, no shares of Preferred Stock had been issued.
Dividends
We have
not declared or paid any cash dividends on our common stock and do not
anticipate paying dividends for the foreseeable future.
DESCRIPTION
OF BUSINESS
Company
history
We are a
Colorado corporation formerly known as Sun River Mining Inc. The
Company was originally incorporated in Colorado on February 25, 1997. Effective
September 24, 2003, we completed a Plan of Reorganization and Asset Purchase
Agreement (the “Plan”).
Pursuant
to the Plan, we acquired the following three patents from Xoptix, Inc., a
California corporation, for Seventy Million (70,000,000) shares of common stock
(post reverse split one for twenty): No. 6,180,871 for Transparent Solar Cell
and Method of Fabrication (Device), granted on January 30, 2001; No. 6,320,117
for Transparent Solar Cell and Method of Fabrication (Method of Fabrication),
granted on November 20, 2001; and No. 6,509,204 for Transparent Solar Cell and
Method of Fabrication (formed with a Schottky barrier diode and method of its
manufacture), granted on January 21, 2003.
Business
overview
In the
fiscal year ended September 30, 2009, we modified our previous business plans
which were to directly establish a solar module manufacturing infrastructure. We
have re-focused our operations on the development of a cross-industry thin film
solar manufacturing concept that we believe provides an opportunity for us to
establish a competitive advantage within the solar industry. Our current efforts
are focused on developing the combination of highly developed thin film solar
processes with state-of-the-art mature magnetic media thin film manufacturing
technologies derived from the hard disc drive (HDD) industry in an effort to
improve manufacturing output, increase cell efficiency and production yields,
and lower costs for the production of high efficiency Copper Indium Gallium (di)
Selenide (CIGS) thin film solar cells.
It is our
belief that by leveraging the manufacturing processes from the HDD industry and
adapting them to thin-film CIGS solar technologies, we can reduce the cost per
watt for solar power to well below $1 per watt, thereby making solar power a
viable alternative in the energy field. Furthermore, it is our belief
that our expertise, experience and the proprietary technology we are developing
in this area will allow us to seek joint ventures with larger companies thereby
generating revenue streams through licensing fees and manufacturing
royalties.
Re-focused
plan of operations
In late
2008, we began investigating the viability of small area CIGS thin film solar
manufacturing technology that would employ the use of high rate thin film
manufacturing techniques successfully used within the magnetic media industry to
produce hard disc drives (HDD). For decades, the HDD industry has had
to continually improve manufacturing output, and production yields, to lower the
costs for the production of high efficiency magnetic media. In January 2009, we
began working directly with the HDD industry to validate the possibility of
transitioning this manufacturing technology to the thin film photovoltaic (TFPV)
industry and more specifically for the manufacture of CIGS solar
cells.
In February,
2009, with Intevac, Inc., a leading provider of magnetic media
deposition equipment to the hard disk drive (HDD) industry, we began to
collaborate in the development of techniques and equipment for the production of
commercially marketable processes and equipment for the manufacture of
CIGS thin-film solar cells on small area wafers similar in size to
traditional crystalline silicon wafers of approximately 5”
squares. Through the successful combination of cross-industry
specialties, we plan to develop a new breed of thin film photovoltaic (TFPV)
manufacturing techniques to produce CIGS based thin-film solar
cells.
About
CIGS thin film solar devices
Copper
Indium Gallium (di) Selenide (CIGS) exceeds all other thin film solar cell
performance to date delivering nearly 20% conversions in laboratory
environments. The Nation Renewable Energy Laboratories (NREL) believes that CIGS
solar module efficiencies could easily match silicon performance while costing
less to produce. It is this high efficiency low cost potential for CIGS, and its
wide array of uses and applications, that provides the basis to drive the cost
of energy production for alternative sources to unprecedented new lows. For this
reason NREL views CIGS as a significant solar technology and supports continuous
development and research efforts related to CIGS thin films. We have
found interest in our CIGS program at NREL and are working with NREL in an
effort to establish either a Cooperative Research and Development Agreement
or a Technical Services Agreement to assist in the commercialization
process.
We
believe that through the successful combination of small area processing
techniques with the high rate processing techniques developed within the hard
disc media industry, overall factory yields (total watts of production per day)
can be increased thereby resulting in lower production costs while still
delivering the full energy and low cost potential that CIGS based devices can
offer.
Plan
of operations
For the
fiscal year ending September 30, 2010, we developed a plan of operations based
upon three significant management implementations which began in the 2009 fiscal
year. The first is cost-cutting measures, including the closure of
the proposed Oregon solar module manufacturing facility which was under
assembly, layoff of staff employed under efforts to establish the Oregon
facility, and an across the board reduction to salaries, with the intended goal
of reducing operating expenses not directly related to the development of new
technologies under our revised plans. The second was a modified sales
strategy. Rather than operate under a direct manufacturing business
model, we plan to develop joint-ventures with pre-existing semi-conductor
companies that management believes may be capable and prepared to invest in the
green energy market. Lastly, we have re-focused operations on the
development of a cross-industry thin film solar manufacturing concept that we
believe provides an opportunity for us to establish a competitive advantage
within the industry. In furtherance of these efforts we have begun the
development of a hybrid manufacturing system combining certain technologies
derived from the magnetic media manufacturing industry with manufacturing
techniques for thin film solar to produce high efficiency Copper Indium Gallium
(di) Selenide (CIGS) thin film solar cells.
Our
current Plan of Operations, based upon the aforementioned activities, commits
$1.65 million for general, administrative and working capital under a phase one
plan necessary to prove and prepare the commercial viability of the new thin
film CIGS manufacturing systems we are developing. Once we have completed our
initial development efforts and proven the commercial viability of these new
manufacturing technologies we plan to launch the second phase of our business
plan by establishing a pilot production system for marketing and sales efforts,
continued process improvement, and general business development efforts related
to the commercialization of our proposed new CIGS manufacturing
technology.
The
Company may change any or all of the budget categories in the execution of its
business attempts. None of the items is to be considered fixed or
unchangeable.
Management
believes the summary data and audit presented herein is a fair presentation of
the Company’s results of operations for the periods presented. Due to the

CIGS:
Current Manufacturing Limitations
Current
techniques for the production of CIGS thin films do not leverage stationary
small area, high rate, production technologies which allow for the precise
control of thin film properties. Development and production of CIGS, and many
other thin films like amorphous silicon (a-Si), have focused on the use of large
area substrates or continuous moving roll-to-roll deposition methods often in
excess of one meter wide or square. While CIGS holds the record for best thin
film cell performance at nearly 20% in smaller area devices, scaling these
laboratory results to large area devices have proved costly and difficult,
resulting in much lower product efficiencies.
A number
of manufacturers of CIGS today use large area or continuously moving roll-to-
roll substrates in an effort to mass produce solar absorbing material and then
cut these larger areas of solar absorbing material up into smaller wafer sized
pieces for use in solar module assemblies. They sacrifice quality for quantity
and the net results are products that deliver only fractions of the CIGS
potential. Others employ manufacturing techniques that to date have yet to
deliver the potential for low cost and high efficiency CIGS solar cells.
Typically most commercially produced CIGS solar cells provide between 8% to 10%
conversion efficiencies which leaves virtually 100% of the potential
efficiencies untapped.
Rapid
small area processing vs. large panel processing
Traditional
economies-of-scale theory dictates that large panel processing decreases costs.
Large volumes or output are achieved with each batch or panel that comes off a
line. This is particularly true for amorphous silicon (a-Si) where 10
to 50 one meter or larger square panels can be simultaneously processed is
a single large batch system. However, the goal of discreet or single
cell processing is to achieve similar production volumes but through speed and
the simultaneous use of multiple small area deposition zones. We
believe that the benefits of rapid single cell processing over large panel
processing include.

|
Factory Floor
Print:
Large format panels require floor space and while real estate
is less expensive than in the past the cost can still be
significant. In contrast single cell processing can be
conducted in a facility that is significantly
smaller. Additionally much of the cost of a large facility is
the recurring monthly utility bill which amplifies the
problem. The cost of a large facility becomes even larger if
clean rooms are required.
|
|
·
|
Product
Acceptability:
CIGS is deposited in a substrate configuration and must have a
top glass cover to achieve UL, IEC, and TUV certifications. The
top glass cover helps to provide durability necessary to provide a 20-30
year lifetime typical for the solar industry. The single cells
that are strung together can use a single tempered top glass cover
and a thin moisture barrier back sheet (similar to a silicon solar cell
panel). Not only is handling of the back sheet easier in
production the resulting solar module can be up to ~1/2 the weight of thin
films that utilize a glass cover for both sides of the solar
module.
|
|
·
|
Scrap:
With large format processing, if
there is a problem during processing the entire panel is scrapped leading
to significant loss of production potential. As a result scraping is a
significant problem for large format monolithically integrated solar
panels. For a single cell with an area of approximately twenty five square
inches (for the 125mm pseudo square), a processing problem
results in scrapping only about 1.45 Watts of
product.
|
|
·
|
Breakage:
Silicon solar cells
are very thin and fragile. This leads to losses resulting from breakage
during manufacture and assembly. Our proposed CIGS cell deposition is done
on stainless steel wafers. Stainless does not
break.
|
|
·
|
Large
Defects:
A large defect for large area deposition anywhere on the panel
will require the entire panel to be scrapped because that defect will
‘drag’ the rest of the panel to virtually zero output. For
single cell production the cell that encountered the defect can simply be
removed during cell testing and performance
sorting.
|
|
·
|
Small Defects
or Composition Variation:
For a large area
substrate, statistically there are more small area defects and
compositional variations. These defects and compositional variations can
cause slightly different performance from cell to cell across the large
format monolithically integrated panel. The result is the
entire panel is ‘drug’ down to the lowest current cell. For
single cell processing, each cell is tested and binned (or sorted)
according to efficiency and current prior to assembly thereby resulting in
a more efficient use of a factories potential production
capacities.
|
|
·
|
Process
Control:
While all of the above are significant factors to consider
when comparing large area to small area production, large area process
control quite possibly could be the biggest differentiating feature
between large monolithically integrated panels. Control of the
manufacturing process over a large area, even with well controlled process
such as sputtering has shown significant
challenges.

CIGS
Experience
Our staff
experience includes nearly 15 years of thin film and CIGS experience in
successful technology development, equipment design, and production of several
million square feet CIGS products in a commercial production
setting. Our Chief Technology Officer has worked side by side with
leading researchers at NREL and in fact shares an R&D 100 award with NREL
staff for efforts related to CIGS technology development.
Our
resident XsunX thin film CIGS technologists and manufacturing experts are
working jointly with a leading producer of manufacturing equipment utilized in
the hard disc market to create a unique process of coupling small area
deposition (approximately 5X5 inch squares), material control, and material
transport technologies from the disk drive industry for use in the production of
thin film CIGS solar cells. We are combining the expertise and years of
technological improvements derived from the sophisticated hard disc drive
manufacturing industry with XsunX staff experience in the thin film
industry.
CIGS:
Strategy and Differentiation
The XsunX
approach is to capitalize on past commercialization experience of CIGS and to
combine this experience with smaller area deposition within high rate hard disk
drive (HDD) equipment. It is anticipated that the combination of these two
principals will lead to solar conversion efficiency approaching that achieved in
laboratories as well as achieving high yield and high throughput, similar to the
HDD industry.
We
are adapting sophisticated high rate production tools from the disk drive
industry with process knowledge from the CIGS and thin film
industry. By maintaining a relatively small deposition area, we
believe reduces a significant challenge that has faced the CIGS industry in the
past: maintaining cell performance while scaling production.
We
believe that key advantages to the adaptation of high rate HDD technologies to
CIGS thin film manufacture include:

Applications
for thin film CIGS solar cells
We
believe that high efficiency flexible CIGS solar cells provide an immense
opportunity for use in multiple market segments. The modular format of single
thin film CIGS solar cells offers an opportunity to become the solar building
blocks for a wide variety of applications including:
|

: A virtual drop in replacement
for expensive and unpredictable silicon wafer costs. We believe this is a
vast market opportunity to replace aging
technology.

Research
and development
During
the fiscal year ended September 30, 2009, we spent $358,884 on research and
development activities. During the year ended September 30, 2008, the Company
recovered $40,590 previously spent on research and development
activities.
Sales
and marketing
We have
developed and have begun to implement a plan to offer technology licenses for
joint venture manufacturing opportunities for regional well funded,
manufacturing partners in a number of industry sectors. To date we have focused
primarily on semiconductor and solar companies. Although we focused
on the development of solar technology and products, we are not a systems or a
machine manufacturer. Our plan is to license technology we develop that provides
for a complete front end CIGS solar cell manufacturing process, and if required
by the licensee, a back end process to convert the CIGS solar cells into solar
modules. We have and intend to continue to develop relationships with equipment
manufacturers that can build systems to our specifications thereby allowing us
to offer turn-key manufacturing solutions to enable our joint venture companies
to manufacturer CIGS small area cells quickly and
inexpensively.
We
anticipate that at the conclusion of the development of our CIGS technology,
that we will generate revenue from an array of services and license fees from
manufacturers that utilize our technologies. These revenue fees may include
inception license fees and royalty streams based upon the efficiencies of our
unique CIGS technology, guidance for the conversion of new or existing
facilities, production line equipment and systems design and markups, training
and implementation, as well as R&D support, and product reliability
expertise.
Intellectual
property
We plan
to market license opportunities for our technology and not directly manufacture
the solar technologies and related products that may employ the use of our thin
film technologies. This business model requires that we develop and maintain
intellectual property that includes both patented and proprietary technologies.
We have licensed certain patented and patent pending technologies, and we are
developing with the intent to file for patent protection certain other thin film
manufacturing technologies. The following is an outline of certain patents and
technologies we have acquired, licensed, or are developing:
In
September 2003, we were assigned the rights to three patents as part of an Asset
Purchase Agreement with Xoptix Inc., a California corporation. The patents
acquired were No. 6,180,871 for Transparent Solar Cell and Method of Fabrication
(Device), granted on January 30, 2001; No. 6,320,117 for Transparent Solar Cell
and Method of Fabrication (Method of Fabrication), granted on November 20, 2001;
and No. 6,509,204 for Transparent Solar Cell and Method of Fabrication (formed
with a Schottky barrier diode and method of its manufacture), granted on January
21, 2003. We are not currently contemplating the use of these patents in the
development of our proposed new thin film CIGS manufacturing
technology.
In May
2008, we licensed certain patented and patent-pending technologies from
MVSystems, Inc. providing us a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free,
irrevocable, fully-paid up right and license, with the right to sublicense the
following patents and patent application and any reissues, re-examinations,
divisionals, continuations and extensions thereof: (a) U.S. Patent No. 6,488,777
B2; (b) U.S. Patent No. 6,258,408 B1; and (c) U.S. Patent App. No. 10/905,545
(Pub. No. US 2005/0150542 A1) (together, the “Patents”). The license
limits us to the use of the Patents for the development by XsunX of
commercial-grade (
i.e.
., web width 30 cm or more and nominal output exceeding 1 megawatt/year based on
1 shift operation) solar cells, photovoltaic technologies, solar cell panels and
methods of manufacture. The license grants us exclusive ownership of any
improvements made by us to the licensed patents. In April 2009 the Company
received notice from MVSystems that U.S. Patent App. No. 10/905,545 (Pub. No. US
2005/0150542 A1) application referenced above had been rejected by the US Patent
Office for various deficiencies. In August 2009 MVSystems notified the Company
that it had amended its application and re-filed the amended patent application
with the U.S Patent Office. On January 22, 2010, the Company received
notification from MVSystems that the above referenced patent application had
again been rejected by the Untied States Patent Office and that MVSystems had
elected to abandon the above referenced patent application. By prior agreement,
the Company has assumed all rights of MVS to prosecute or maintain the
referenced patent application, and the Company continues to hold related
contractual rights and claims against MVSystems, Inc. We are not currently
contemplating the use of these patents, or patent applications, in the
development of our proposed new thin film CIGS manufacturing
technology.
In the
fiscal year ended September 30, 2009, we began the development of process
technology and engineering efforts to adapt certain manufacturing technologies
and systems utilized in the production of magnetic media for use to manufacture
discreet (individual) thin film solar cells. As we continue to develop these new
technologies, we may actively seek patent protection for certain aspects related
to methods and apparatus we develop. We can give no assurance that any such
patent(s) will be granted for any process and manufacturing technology that we
may develop individually or in conjunction with third parties.
We rely
on trademark and copyright law, trade secret protection and confidentiality or
license agreements with our employees, customers, partners and others to protect
our proprietary rights. We have not been subject to any intellectual property
claims.
Government
Contracts
We do not
have any government contracts at this time.
Competitive
Conditions
A number
of thin film solar cell technologies have and are being developed by other
companies. Such technologies include amorphous silicon, cadmium telluride,
copper-indium-gallium-selenide (CIGS), and copper indium diselenide as well as
advanced concepts in thin film crystalline silicon, and the use of organic
materials. Given the benefit of time, investment, and advances in manufacturing
technologies any of these competing technologies may be offered in formats
delivering power similar or greater to technologies developed that may be
developed by us, and they may also achieve manufacturing costs per watt lower
than cost per watt to manufacture technologies developed by us.
In
accessing the principal competitive factors in the market for solar electric
power products, we use price per watt, stability and reliability, conversion
efficiency, diversity in use applications, and other performance metrics such as
scalability of manufacturing processes and the ability to adapt new technologies
into cell designs and the manufacturing process without antiquation of existing
infrastructure. If we do not compete successfully with respect to these or other
factors, it could materially and adversely affect our business, results of
operations, and financial condition.
A number
of large companies are actively engaged in the development, manufacturing and
marketing of solar electric power products. The seven largest TFPV cell
suppliers are Q-Cells, Shell Solar, Sharp Corporation, BP Solar, Kyocera
Corporation, First Solar, and Energy Conversion Devices, which together supply
the significant portion of the current TFPV market. All of these companies have
greater resources to devote to research, development, manufacturing and
marketing than we do.
Other
competitive factors lie in the current use of other clean, renewable energy
technologies such as wind, ocean thermal, ocean tidal, and geo-thermal power
sources and conventional fossil fuel based technologies for the production of
electricity. We expect our primary competition will be within the solar cell
marketplace itself. Barriers to entering the solar cell manufacturing industry
include the technical know-how required to produce solar cells that maintain
acceptable efficiency rates, the design of efficient and scalable manufacturing
processes, and access to necessary manufacturing infrastructure.
Compliance
with Environmental Laws and Regulations
Our
operations are subject to local, state and federal laws and regulations
governing environmental quality and pollution control. Compliance with these
regulations by us has required that we retain the use of consulting firms to
assist in the engineering and design of systems related to equipment operations,
management of industrial gas storage and delivery systems, and occupancy fire
and safety construction standards to deal with emergency conditions. We do not
anticipate that these costs will have a material effect on our operations or
competitive position, and the cost of such compliance has not been
material. We are unable to assess or predict at this time what effect
additional regulations or legislation could have on its activities.
Employees
and Consultants
As of
September 30, 2009 we had 5 full-time employees. This represents a decrease of 5
employees since September 30, 2008. We also engage consultants to
perform specific functions that otherwise would require an employee. We have not
experienced any work stoppages and we consider relations with our employees to
be good.
Available
Information
Our
website address is
www.xsunx.com
. We
make available on our website access to our Annual Report on Form 10-K,
quarterly reports on Form 10-Q, current reports on Form 8-K and amendments to
these reports that we have filed with the SEC.
Properties
We own no
real property. However, we lease facilities in Golden, Colorado and
Aliso Viejo, California as described below.
California
Corporate Office Lease
Effective
April 1, 2009, we reduced our leased facilities at its Aliso Viejo, CA offices
by approximately 50%. This resulted in associated reductions to monthly lease
and facility expenses totaling approximately $2,000 leaving a monthly lease and
facility liability of approximately $1,400. We plan to continue to
lease these facilities for the foreseeable future.
Colorado
Facilities Lease
Our lease
for facilities in Golden, at the lease rate of $1,790 per month plus $945 in
triple net for a total of $2,735 per month expired May 30,
2010. Under agreement with the landlord we have vacated the premises
on May 25, 2010. While preparing to vacate we did not conduct operations of any
significance in the facility. However, a machine built under contract for us,
and held in inventory for sale by us, was housed in this facility and sold prior
to vacating the premises.
Oregon
Manufacturing Facility Lease and Lease Termination
In
furtherance of our revised plan of operations focusing on the development of new
manufacturing technology for CIGS thin films, and plans to establish
manufacturing operations through joint venture license agreements for such new
technology, we elected to eliminate our Oregon based facility. On
August 27, 2009, we entered into a lease termination and mutual release of
claims with Merix Corporation, an Oregon corporation. Pursuant to the terms of
the agreement, the parties agreed to terminate that certain sublease agreement
by and between the parties, dated April 1, 2008, related to certain real
property described therein which comprised our Oregon based facility (the
“Premises”). Accordingly, we agreed to vacate the Premises on or
before September 1, 2009. In connection with the termination of the sublease, we
also agreed (a) to sell certain equipment, currently housed on the Premises, to
Merix for the amount of $111,620, (b) to allow Merix to complete a full drawdown
of that certain $106,000 irrevocable letter of credit issued by Wells Fargo
Bank, N.A., at our request, in favor of Merix. The combined amounts of the sale
of equipment and draw down to the letter of credit totaling $217,620 were
credited to the accrued lease payment liabilities. The remaining accrued lease
payment liabilities and contractual term lease obligation were reduced to
$456,921 and we issued an unsecured promissory note in favor of Merix in the
amount of $456,921. The note accrues interest at 10% per annum. The parties
agreed to unconditionally release each other from the obligations imposed by, or
related to, the sublease, except for the obligations established by the
agreement. The termination of the sublease eliminates continued
monthly operating costs associated with the facility, which we no longer require
for our plan of operations, while also reducing our short-term liabilities
associated with the lease to zero and reducing our long-term liabilities by
approximately sixty-five percent (65%).
Legal
Proceedings
In
the ordinary conduct of our business, we may become involved in various lawsuits
and legal proceedings, which arise in the ordinary course of business. However,
litigation is subject to inherent uncertainties, and an adverse result in these
or other matters may arise from time to time that may harm our business. We are
currently not aware of any such legal proceedings or claims that we believe will
have, individually or in the aggregate, a material adverse affect on our
business, financial condition or operating results except as set forth
below.
On
September 3, 2009, we received notice of an action filed by Airgas, Corp. in the
State of Oregon, Multnomah County, requesting, a) that the court grant the
re-possession of certain industrial gas management equipment (the “equipment”)
for shipment back to the vendor (we had returned the equipment to the vendor on
August 28, 2009), b) that the court grant the vendor unspecified re-stocking and
re-shipment fees, or c) the sum of $117,207 plus interest and collection fees
for payment for the equipment. Earlier attempts by us to return the equipment
were met with demands for re-stocking fees from the vendor. We had refused to
pay re-stocking fees. The vendor eventually agreed to the return of the
equipment and then subsequently filed its claim. In February 2010, prior to a
summary judgment hearing, we elected to negotiate a settlement with Airgas Corp.
agreeing to pay $114,641 in 12 equal monthly payments of $9,553 commencing March
1, 2010. No default currently exists under this agreement.

efforts.

Section
16(A) beneficial ownership reporting compliance
Section
16(a) of the Exchange Act requires the Company’s officers and directors, and
certain persons who own more than 10% of a registered class of the Company’s
equity securities (collectively, “
Reporting Persons
”),
to file reports of ownership and changes in ownership (“Section
16 Reports
”) with
the SEC. Reporting Persons are required by the SEC to furnish the Company with
copies of all Section 16 Reports they file. Based on its review of
the copies of such forms received by it, or written representations from certain
reporting persons, the Company believes that, during the fiscal year ended
September 30, 2009, all filing requirements applicable to its officers,
directors, and greater than ten-percent beneficial owners were complied with the
exception that one report, covering an aggregate of three gift and
donation transactions were not timely filed by the chief
executive officer with the SEC via Form 4 or via year-end report on Form
5.
Code
of ethics
The Board
adopted a Code of Ethics policy on January 7, 2008.
Overview
We are a
development stage company and we rely on our Board to evaluate compensation and
incentive offerings made by the Company as it applies to our executive officers,
and efforts to attract and maintain qualified staff. To date, our compensation
policy has been conducted on a case by case basis with input from our chief
executive officer, and focused on the following three primary areas; (a) salary
compensatory with peer group companies and peer position, (b) cash bonuses tied
to sales and revenue attainment, and (c) long term equity compensation tied to
strategic objectives of establishing solar module manufacturing
infrastructure.
In this
compensation discussion and analysis, the individuals in the Summary
Compensation Table set forth below are referred to as the “named executive
officers”. Generally, the types of compensation and benefits provided to the
named executive officers may be similar to what we intend to provided to future
executive officers. The named executive officers for fiscal 2009 are Tom M.
Djokovich, our chief executive officer, Joseph Grimes, our chief operating
officer, Jeff Huitt our chief financial officer for portions of the 2009 fiscal
year, and Robert Wendt, our chief technical officer.
Executive
compensation
The
following table sets forth information with respect to compensation earned by
our chief executive officer, our former chief financial officer, our chief
operating officer, and our chief technical officer (collectively, our “named

respectively.

MANAGEMENT’S
DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF
OPERATIONS
Introduction
The
following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the
financial statements, and the notes thereto included herein. The
information contained below includes statements of the Company’s or management’s
beliefs, expectations, hopes, goals and plans that, if not historical, are
forward-looking statements subject to certain risks and uncertainties that could
cause actual results to differ materially from those anticipated in the
forward-looking statements. See “Forward-Looking Statements”. Our actual results
could differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking
statements as a result of various factors, including those discussed below and
elsewhere in this Prospectus, particularly under the heading “Risk
Factors”.
Business
Overview
In the
fiscal year ended September 30, 2009, we modified our previous business plans
which were to directly establish a solar module manufacturing infrastructure. We
have re-focused our operations on the development of a cross-industry thin film
solar manufacturing concept that we believe provides an opportunity for us to
establish a competitive advantage within the solar industry. Our current efforts
are focused on developing the combination of highly developed thin film solar
processes with state-of-the-art mature magnetic media thin film manufacturing
technologies derived from the hard disc drive (HDD) industry in an effort to
improve manufacturing output, increase cell efficiency and production yields,
and lower costs for the production of high efficiency Copper Indium Gallium (di)
Selenide (CIGS) thin film solar cells.
It is our
belief that by leveraging the manufacturing processes from the HDD industry and
adapting them to thin-film CIGS solar technologies, we can reduce the cost per
watt for solar power to well below $1 per watt, thereby making solar power a
viable alternative in the energy field. Furthermore, it is our belief
that our expertise, experience and the proprietary technology we are developing
in this area will allow us to seek joint ventures with larger companies thereby
generating revenue streams through licensing fees and manufacturing
royalties.
Plan
of Operations
We have
developed a plan of operations based upon three significant management
implementations which began in the 2009 fiscal year. The first is
cost-cutting measures, including the closure of the proposed Oregon solar module
manufacturing facility which was under assembly, layoff of staff employed under
efforts to establish the Oregon facility, and an across the board reduction to
salaries, with the intended goal of reducing operating expenses not directly
related to the development of new technologies under the Company’s revised
plans. The second was a modified sales strategy. Rather than operate
under a direct manufacturing business model, we plan to develop joint-ventures
with pre-existing semi-conductor companies that management believes may be
capable and prepared to invest in the green energy market. Lastly, we
have re-focused operations on the development of a cross-industry thin film
solar manufacturing concept that we believe provides an opportunity for us to
establish a competitive advantage within the industry. In furtherance of these
efforts we have begun, the development of a hybrid manufacturing system
combining certain technologies derived from the magnetic media manufacturing
industry with manufacturing techniques for thin film solar to produce high
efficiency Copper Indium Gallium (di) Selenide (CIGS) thin film solar
cells.
Our
current plan of operations, based upon the aforementioned activities, commits
$1.65 million for general, administrative and working capital under a phase one
plan necessary to prove and prepare the commercial viability of the new thin
film CIGS manufacturing systems we are developing. Once we have completed our
initial development efforts and proven the commercial viability of these new
manufacturing technologies we plan to launch a phase two plan to establish a
pilot production system for marketing and sales efforts, continued process
improvement, and general business development efforts related to the
commercialization of our proposed new CIGS manufacturing
technology.
We may
change any or all of the budget categories in the execution of its business
attempts. None of the items is to be considered fixed or
unchangeable.
Management
believes the summary data and audit presented herein is a fair presentation of
the Company’s results of operations for the periods presented. Due to our change
in primary business focus and new business opportunities these historical
results may not necessarily be indicative of results to be expected for any
future period. As such, future results of the Company may differ significantly
from previous periods.
Results
of operations for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2009 compared to fiscal
year ended September 30, 2008
Revenue
and Cost of Sales:
The
Company generated no revenues in the fiscal years ended September 30, 2009, and
2008. There were no associated costs of goods sold in any of the fiscal periods
represented above. The Company to date has had minimal revenue and cost of
sales, and is still in the development stage.
Selling
and Marketing Expenses:
Selling
and Marketing (S&M) expenses decreased by ($224,498) during the fiscal year
ended September 30, 2009 to $212,700 as compared to $437,198 for the fiscal year
ended September 30, 2008. The decreases in S&M expenses were primarily due
to a decrease in branding efforts and investor relations expenses associated
with the Company’s efforts to modify its plan of operations.
General
and Administrative Expenses:
General
and Administrative (G&A) expenses increased by $55,494 during the fiscal
year ended September 30, 2009 to $2,745,269 as compared to $2,689,775 for the
fiscal year ended September 30, 2008. The increase in G&A expenses were
primarily due to the increase in rent and operating expense for the Oregon
facilities related to the Company’s prior efforts to establish amorphous silicon
solar module manufacturing operations, and accounting expenses related to the
Company’s re-audit of the fiscal years ended September 30, 2007, and
2006.
Research
and Development:
Research
and development expenses increased by $399,474 during the fiscal year ended
September 30, 2009 to $358,884 as compared to ($40,590) for the fiscal year
ended September 30, 2008. The increase in R&D was due primarily to an
increase in contract engineering expenses and laboratory materials related to
the Company’s efforts to develop new manufacturing technology for the production
of thin film CIGS solar technologies, and because during the fiscal year ended
September 30, 2008 the Company had recovered R&D expenses previously
incurred.
Net
Loss:
For the
fiscal year ended September 30, 2009, our net loss was ($10,634,133) as compared
to a net loss of ($4,058,952) for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2008. This
increase in Net Loss of $6,575,180 compared to the fiscal year ended September
30, 2008 was primarily driven by the Company’s impairment of certain assets
related to the Company’s prior efforts to establish amorphous silicon solar
module manufacturing infrastructure. This impairment resulted in an expense of
$5,826,990. This represents a total write down to zero for the portion of the
Company’s Manufacturing Equipment in Process account that the Company does not
anticipate using under its new plan of operations. The valuation adjustment was
the result of an analysis of certain significant unobservable events and the
inputs used in determining the amount of the valuation adjustment include the
decision to move to new manufacturing technology under efforts to establish a
competitive advantage.
Liquidity
and Capital Resources
We had
working capital at September 30, 2009 of $517,387, as compared to working
capital of $3,321,294 as of September 30, 2008. The decrease in working capital
of $2,803,907 was the result of an increase in operating expenses, and no
revenue producing activities for the fiscal year ended September 30,
2009.
Cash flow
used by operating activities was ($2,862,327) for the fiscal year ended
September 30, 2009, as compared to cash flow used by operating activities of
($2,695,476) for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2008. The increase in cash
flow used of $166,851 by operating activities was primarily due to the increase
of $(6,575,181) in operating net loss due to the Company refocusing its
operations from solar module manufacturing to focus on development of new thin
film solar technology. The majority of the net change in net loss consisted of
an increase in asset impairment of $5,611,365, and an increase in write down of
inventory asset of $1,117,000.
Cash flow
used in investing activities was $(16,174) for the fiscal year ended September
30, 2009, as compared to cash flow used in investing activities of ($4,228,623)
during the fiscal year ended September 30, 2008. The decrease in investing
activities of $4,212,449, primarily due to the Company’s change in business
development focus, whereby, there were no investments in manufacturing equipment
and facilities in process, and the purchase of fixed assets decreased by $95,039
Also, the Company had a no notes receivable for the fiscal year ended September
30, 2009.
Cash flow
provided by financing activities was $1,020,000 for the fiscal year ended
September 30, 2009, as compared to cash provided by financing activities of
$7,544,700 during the fiscal year ended September 30, 2008. The decrease in cash
flow provided by financing activities of $6,524,700 was the result of a
reduction to cash provided through equity financing.
The
Company is currently engaged in efforts to develop a cross-industry thin film
solar manufacturing concept that we believe provides an opportunity for XsunX to
establish a competitive advantage within the solar industry. However the cash
flow requirements associated with the completion of these development efforts,
and the transition to revenue recognition will exceed cash generated from
operations in the current and future periods. We may seek to obtain additional
financing from equity and/or debt placements. We have been able to raise capital
in a series of equity and debt offerings in the past. While there can be no
assurances that we will be able to obtain such additional financing, on terms
acceptable to us and at the times required, or at all, we believe that
sufficient capital can be raised in the foreseeable future as
necessary.
Off-Balance
Sheet Arrangements
We do not
have any relationships with unconsolidated entities or financial partnerships
such as entities often referred to as structured finance or special purpose
entities that would have been established for the purpose of facilitating
off-balance-sheet arrangements or for other contractually narrow or limited
purposes. As such, we are not exposed to any financing, liquidity, market or
credit risk that could arise if we had engaged in such
relationships.
Results
of Operations for the three month period ended March 31, 2010 compared to the
same period in 2009
Revenue:
The
Company generated no revenues for the periods ended March 31, 2010 and 2009
respectively. Additionally, there was no associated cost of sales.
Selling and Marketing
Expenses
:
Selling
and marketing expenses for the three month period ended March 31, 2010 were
$92,056, as compared to $30,927 for the same period in 2009. The increase of
$61,129 in selling and marketing expenses between the periods is primarily
attributable to increase in public relation expenses relating to increasing the
Company’s exposure, and efforts to establish brand awareness under the Company’s
revised plan of operations.
General
and Administrative Expenses:
General
and administrative expenses for the three month period ending March 31, 2010
were $265,925 as compared to $652,980 during the same period in 2009. The
decrease of $367,055 was related primarily to closing the Company’s Oregon
facilities, the reduction of operations at the Company’s Colorado facilities
with the intent to close that facility, and a general reduction to salaries and
operating expenses under the Company’s re-focused plan of operations for the
development of a new cross-industry thin film solar manufacturing
technology.
Research and
Development
:
Research
and development for the three month period ended March 31, 2010 were $107,491 as
compared to $165,898 during the same period in 2009. The decrease of $58,407 was
due to a reduction to expenses associated with the Company’s revised plan of
operations to develop a new thin film solar manufacturing
technology.
Net Loss
:
The net
loss for the three months ended March 31, 2010 was $(635,943) as compared to a
net loss of $(679,026) for the same period 2009. The decreased net loss of
$(43,083) includes the operating expense changes discussed above, and the net
change in non-cash expenses of $18,544, which includes depreciation and stock
option expense. The Company anticipates the trend of losses to continue in
future quarters until the Company can recognize sales of significance of which
there is no assurance.

$202,049, as compared to $131,462 for the same period in 2009. The increase of
$70,587 in selling and marketing expenses between the periods is primarily
attributable to an increase in public relation expenses relating to increasing
the Company’s exposure, and efforts to establish brand awareness under the
Company’s revised plan of operations.
General
and Administrative Expenses:
General
and administrative expenses for the six month period ending March 31, 2010 were
$544,949 as compared to $1,675,922 during the same period in 2009. The decrease
of $1,130,973 was related primarily to closing the Company’s Oregon facilities,
the reduction of operations at the Company’s Colorado facilities with the intent
to close that facility, and a general reduction to salaries and operating
expenses under the Company’s re-focused plan of operations for the development
of a new cross-industry thin film solar manufacturing technology.

and development for the six month period ended March 31, 2010 were $152,382 as
compared to $178,734 during the same period in 2009. The decrease of $26,352 was
due to a reduction to expenses associated with the Company’s revised plan of
operations to develop a new thin film solar manufacturing
technology.
Net
Loss:
The net
loss for the six months ended March 31, 2010 was $(1,179,087) as compared to a
net loss of $(1,918,637) for the same period 2009. The decreased net loss of
$739,550 includes the operating expense changes discussed above, and the net
change of $35,001in non-cash expenses, which includes depreciation and stock
option expense. The Company anticipates the trend of losses to continue in
future quarters until the Company can recognize sales of significance of which
there is no assurance.
Liquidity
and Capital Resources
As of
March 31, 2010, we had $313,535 of working capital as compared to $517,387 at
September 30, 2009. This decrease of $114,271 was due primarily to a decrease in
the estimated value of inventory held for sale.
During
the six months ended March 31, 2010, the Company used $(656,272) of cash for
operating activities, as compared to cash used of $(562,936) for the prior
period. The increase in cash used of $93,336 for operating activities was
primarily due to a decrease in the use of accounts payable to finance
operations.
Cash used
by investing activities for the six months ended March 31, 2010 was $(230,000),
as compared to cash use of $(1,468,896) for the prior period. The net decrease
of cash used in investing activities was primarily due to a decrease in the
purchase of manufacturing equipment and facilities in process under the
Company’s revised plan of operations.
Cash
provided by financing activities for the six months ended March 31, 2010 was
$953,000, as compared to $600,000 for the prior period. Our capital needs have
primarily been met from the proceeds of private placements, as we are currently
in the development stage and had no revenues.
Our
financial statements as of March 31, 2010 have been prepared under the
assumption that we will continue as a going concern from inception (February 25,
1997) through March 31, 2010. Our independent registered public accounting firm
has issued their report dated January 11, 2010 that included an explanatory
paragraph expressing substantial doubt in our ability to continue as a going
concern without additional capital becoming available. Our ability to continue
as a going concern ultimately is dependent on our ability to generate a profit
which is dependent upon our ability to obtain additional equity or debt
financing, attain further operating efficiencies and, ultimately, to achieve
profitable operations. The financial statements do not include any adjustments
that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
For the
six months ended March 31, 2010, the Company's capital needs have been met from
the use of working capital provided by the proceeds of (i) the Company’s working
capital and (ii) the sale of unregistered common stock for proceeds totaling
$953,000 dollars.
Recent
Accounting Pronouncements
In June
2009, the FASB issued guidance under Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”)
Topic 105, “Generally Accepted Accounting Principles” (SFAS No. 168, The FASB
Accounting Standards Codification TM and the Hierarchy of Generally Accepted
Accounting Principles). This guidance establishes the FASB ASC as the single
source of authoritative U.S. GAAP recognized by the FASB to be applied by
nongovernmental entities. Rules and interpretive releases of the SEC under
authority of federal securities laws are also sources of authoritative U.S. GAAP
for SEC registrants. SFAS 168 and the ASC are effective for financial statements
issued for interim and annual periods ending after September 15, 2009. The ASC
supersedes all existing non-SEC accounting and reporting standards. All other
non-grandfathered, non-SEC accounting literature not included in the ASC has
become non-authoritative. Following SFAS 168, the FASB will no longer issue new
standards in the form of Statements, FSPs, or EITF Abstracts. Instead, the FASB
will issue Accounting Standards Updates, which will serve only to update the
ASC, provide background information about the guidance, and provide the bases
for conclusions on the change(s) in the ASC. We adopted ASC 105 effective for
our financial statements issued as of September 30, 2009. The adoption of this
guidance did not have an impact on our financial statements but will alter the
references to accounting literature within the financial
statements.

Indemnification
Of Directors And Executive Officers And Limitation On Liability
Our
articles of incorporation provide that we shall indemnify any person who was or
is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or
completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or
investigative (other than an action by or in the right of the corporation), by
reason of the fact that such person is or was a director, officer, employee or
agent of the Corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the Company as
a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership,
joint venture, trust or other enterprise, against expenses including attorney
fees, judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement, actually and reasonably
incurred by such person in connection with such action, suit or proceeding, if
such person acted in good faith and in a manner such person reasonably believed
to be in, or not opposed to, the best interests of the Company, and with respect
to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe such
person’s conduct was unlawful. Termination of any action, suit or proceeding in
any manner does not by itself create a presumption that such person did not act
in good faith and in a manner such person reasonably believed to be in, or not
opposed to, the best interests of the Company, and with respect to any criminal
action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe such person’s conduct
was unlawful.
The
articles of incorporation also provide that the Company must indemnify any
person who was or is a party, or is threatened to be made a party, to any
threatened, pending or completed proceeding by or in the right of the Company to
procure a judgment in its favor by reason of the fact that such person is or was
a director, officer, employee, fiduciary or agent of the Company, or is or was
serving at the request of the Company as a director, officer, employee,
fiduciary, or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or
other enterprise against expenses (including attorney fees) actually and
reasonably incurred by such person in connection with the defense or settlement
of such proceeding, if such person believed it to be in, or not opposed to, the
best interests of the Company. Such indemnification may not be made for any
claim, issue or matter as to which such person has been adjudged to be liable
for negligence or misconduct in the performance of such person’s duty to the
Company, unless and only to the extent that the court in which the proceeding
was brought determines that, despite the adjudication of liability, but in view
of all the circumstances of the case, the person is fairly and reasonably
entitled to indemnity for such expenses as the court deems proper.
The
bylaws adopt the provisions of the Colorado Revised Statutes 7-3-101 (now C.R.S.
7-109), as amended from time to time, relating to Indemnification and
incorporate such provisions by reference as fully as if set forth
therein.
The
Colorado Revised Statutes 7-109-102 provide that a corporation may indemnify a
director who is a party to a proceeding against liability if the director’s
conduct was in good faith, the director reasonably believed, in the case of
conduct in an official capacity with the corporation, that such conduct was in
the corporation’s best interests, and in the case of any criminal proceeding,
the director had no reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful. The
termination of a proceeding in any manner is not, of itself, determinative that
the director did not meet the standard of conduct described in C.R.S. 7-109-102.
A corporation may not indemnify a director in connection with a proceeding by or
in the right of the corporation in which the director was adjudged liable to the
corporation, or in any proceeding where the director is adjudged liable on the
basis that the director derived an improper benefit. Indemnification under
C.R.S. 7-109-102 in connection with a proceeding by or in the right of the
corporation is limited to reasonable expenses incurred in connection with the
proceeding.
C.R.S.
7-109-103 provides that a corporation must indemnify a director who is wholly
successful, on the merits or otherwise, in the defense of any proceeding brought
against him in his capacity as a director, against reasonable expenses incurred
by the director in connection with the proceeding.
C.R.S.
7-109-104 provides that a company may pay the costs incurred by any person
entitled to indemnification in defending a proceeding as such costs are incurred
and in advance of the final disposition of a proceeding; provided however, that
the company must pay such costs only upon receipt of a written affirmation of
the director’s good faith belief that he met the appropriate standard of
conduct, a written undertaking by or on behalf of such person to repay the
advance if it is ultimately determined that the director did not meet the
standard of conduct, and after a determination is made that indemnification is
not precluded.
C.R.S.
7-109-105 provides that unless otherwise provided in the articles of
incorporation, a director who is or was a party to a proceeding may apply for
indemnification to the court conducting the proceeding or to another court of
competent jurisdiction. On receipt of an application, the court, after giving
any notice the court considers necessary, may order indemnification in the
following manner: If it determines that the director is entitled to mandatory
indemnification, the court shall order indemnification, in which case the court
shall also order the corporation to pay the director's reasonable expenses
incurred to obtain court-ordered indemnification. If the court determines that
the director is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnification in view of all
the relevant circumstances, whether or not the director met the appropriate
standard of conduct or was adjudged liable under the circumstances, the court
may order such indemnification as the court deems proper; except that the
indemnification with respect to any proceeding in which liability shall have
been adjudged in connection with a proceeding regarding the right of the
corporation or derivation of an improper benefit is limited to reasonable
expenses incurred in connection with the proceeding and reasonable expenses
incurred to obtain court-ordered indemnification.
C.R.S.
7-109-106 provides that a corporation may not indemnify a director unless
authorized in the specific case after a determination has been made that
indemnification of the director is permissible in the circumstances because the
director has met the appropriate standard of conduct. A corporation shall not
advance expenses to a director under section 7-109-104 unless authorized in the
specific case after the required written affirmation and undertaking are
received and the determination has been made.
The
determinations required by C.R.S. 7-109-106 must be made:
(a) By
the board of directors by a majority vote of those present at a meeting at which
a quorum is present, and only those directors not parties to the proceeding
shall be counted in satisfying the quorum; or
(b) If a
quorum cannot be obtained, by a majority vote of a committee of the board of
directors designated by the board of directors, which committee shall consist of
two or more directors not parties to the proceeding; except that directors who
are parties to the proceeding may participate in the designation of directors
for the committee.
If a
quorum cannot be obtained as contemplated in paragraph (a) above, and a
committee cannot be established under paragraph (b) above, or, even if a quorum
is obtained or a committee is designated, if a majority of the directors
constituting such quorum or such committee so directs, the determination
required shall be made:
(a) By
independent legal counsel selected by a vote of the board of directors or the
committee in the manner described above or, if a quorum of the full board cannot
be obtained and a committee cannot be established, by independent legal counsel
selected by a majority vote of the full board of directors; or
(b) By
the shareholders.
C.R.S.
7-109-107 provides that an officer is entitled to a mandatory indemnification
and is entitled to apply for court-ordered indemnification to the same extent as
a director. Also, a corporation may indemnify and advance expenses to an
officer, employee, fiduciary or agent of the corporation to the same extent as
to a director, or to a greater extent, if not inconsistent with public policy,
the corporation’s bylaws, actions of the board of directors or shareholders, or
contract.
C.R.S.
7-109-108 provides that a corporation may purchase and maintain insurance on
behalf of a person who is or was a director, officer, employee, fiduciary, or
agent of the corporation, or who, while a director, officer, employee,
fiduciary, or agent of the corporation, is or was serving at the request of the
corporation as a director, officer, partner, trustee, employee, fiduciary, or
agent of another domestic or foreign entity or of an employee benefit plan,
against liability asserted against or incurred by the person in that capacity or
arising from the person's status as a director, officer, employee, fiduciary, or
agent, whether or not the corporation would have power to indemnify the person
against the same liability under another section.
Insofar
as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act, as amended,
may be permitted to directors, officers, and controlling persons of the
registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrant
has been advised that in the opinion of the SEC such indemnification is against
public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore,
unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such
liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or
paid by a director, officer, or controlling person in the successful defense of
any action, suit, or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer, or
controlling person connected with the securities being registered, we will,
unless in the opinion of our counsel the matter has been settled by controlling
precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether
such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the
Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such
issue.

REPORT
OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the
Board of Directors and Shareholders
XsunX,
Inc. (A Development Stage Company)
Aliso
Viejo, California
We have
audited the accompanying balance sheet of XsunX, Inc. (a development stage
company) as of September 30, 2009, and the related statements of operations,
stockholders’ equity (deficit), and cash flows for the year then ended and the
period from February 25, 1997 (inception) to September 30, 2009. These financial
statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on
our audits. The financial statements for the period from February 25, 1997
(inception) to September 30, 2008 were audited by other auditors and our
opinion, insofar as it relates to cumulative amounts included for such prior
periods, is based solely on the reports of such other auditors.
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 the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial
statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a
test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial
statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and
significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall
financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a
reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our
opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all
material respects, the financial position of XsunX, Inc. as of September 30,
2009, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the year
ended September 30, 2009 and the period from February 25, 1997 (inception) to
September 30, 2009, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting
principles.
We were
not engaged to examine management’s assessment of the effectiveness of XsunX,
Inc.’s internal control over financial reporting as of September 30, 2009,
included in the accompanying managements’ report and, accordingly, we do not
express an opinion thereon.
The
accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company
will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 1 to the financial
statements, the Company does not generate significant revenue and has negative
cash flows from operations which raise substantial doubt about its ability to
continue as a going concern. Management’s plans in regard to these matters are
also described in Note 1. The financial statements do not include any
adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING
FIRM
Stockholders
and Board of Directors
XsunX,
Inc.
We have
audited the accompanying balance sheet of XsunX, Inc., as of September 30, 2008
and the related statements of operations, stockholders’ equity and cash flows
for the year then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of
the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these
financial statements based on our audit.
We
conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company
Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan
and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the
financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit 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 financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all
material respects, the financial position of XsunX, Inc., at September 30, 2008,
and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the year then ended, in
conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of
America.
The
accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will
continue as a going concern. As described in Note 1 of the financial statements,
the Company has an accumulated deficit as of September 30, 2008, and needs to
raise additional capital to finance its operations. These conditions raise
substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.
Management’s plans as to this matter are further described in Note 1. The
financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible
future effects on the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts
and classification of liabilities that may result from the outcome of this
uncertainty.

ORGANIZATION AND LINE OF
BUSINESS
|
Organization
XsunX,
Inc. (“XsunX,” the “Company” or the “issuer”) is a Colorado corporation formerly
known as Sun River Mining Inc. (“Sun River”). The Company was originally
incorporated in Colorado on February 25, 1997. Effective September 24, 2003, the
Company completed a Plan of Reorganization and Asset Purchase Agreement (the
“Plan”).
Line of
Business
In the
fiscal year ended September 30, 2009 XsunX modified its previous plans to
directly establish product manufacturing infrastructure. We have re-focused
operations on the development of a cross-industry thin film solar manufacturing
concept that we believe provides an opportunity for XsunX to establish a
competitive advantage within the industry. Our current efforts are focused on
the combination of proven thin film solar processes with state-of-the-art mature
magnetic media thin film manufacturing technologies derived from the hard disc
drive (HDD) industry to improve manufacturing output, increase cell efficiency
and production yields, and lower the costs for the production of high efficiency
Copper Indium Gallium (di) Selenide (CIGS) thin film solar cells.
It is our
belief that by leveraging the manufacturing processes from the HDD industry and
adapting them to thin-film solar technologies, we can reduce the cost per watt
for solar to well below $1 per watt, thereby making solar a viable alternative
in the energy field. Furthermore, it is our belief that our expertise,
experience and proprietary technology in this area will allow us to seek joint
ventures with larger companies thereby generating revenue streams through
licensing fees and manufacturing royalties.
Going
Concern
The
accompanying financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis of
accounting, which contemplates continuity of operations, realization of assets,
liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business. The accompanying
financial statements do not reflect any adjustments that might result if the
Company is unable to continue as a going concern. The Company does not generate
revenue, and has negative cash flows from operations, which raise substantial
doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The ability of
the Company to continue as a going concern and appropriateness of using the
going concern basis is dependent upon, among other things, additional cash
infusion. The Company has obtained funds from its shareholders since its
inception through September 30, 2009. Management believes the existing
shareholders and the prospective new investors will provide the additional cash
needed to meet the Company’s obligations as they become due, and will allow the
development of its core of business.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING
POLICIES
|
This
summary of significant accounting policies of XsunX, Inc. is presented to assist
in understanding the Company’s financial statements. The financial statements
and notes are representations of the Company’s management, which is responsible
for their integrity and objectivity. These accounting policies conform to
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and
have been consistently applied in the preparation of the financial
statements.
Development Stage Activities
and Operations
The
Company has been in its initial stages of formation and for the fiscal years
ended September 30, 2009, and 2008, had no revenues. A development stage
activity as one in which all efforts are devoted substantially to establishing a
new business and even if planned principal operations have commenced, revenues
are insignificant.
Use of
Estimates
The
preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that
affect the amounts reported in the accompanying financial statements.
Significant estimates made in preparing these financial statements include the
estimate of useful lives of property and equipment, the deferred tax valuation
allowance, impairment of assets, commitments and contingencies, and the fair
value of stock options. Actual results could differ from those
estimates.
Cash and Cash
Equivalents
For
purposes of the statements of cash flows, cash and cash equivalents include cash
in banks and money markets with an original maturity of three months or
less.
Fair Value of Financial
Instruments
The
Company’s financial instruments, including cash and cash equivalents, accounts
payable and accrued liabilities are carried at cost, which approximates their
fair value, due to the relatively short maturity of these instruments. As of
September 30, 2009, and 2008, the Company’s notes payable have stated borrowing
rates that are consistent with those currently available to the Company and,
accordingly, the Company believes the carrying value of these debt instruments
approximates their fair value.
Revenue
Recognition
The
Company recognizes revenue when services are performed, and at the time of
shipment of products, provided that evidence of an arrangement exists, title and
risk of loss have passed to the customer, fees are fixed or determinable, and
collection of the related receivable is reasonably assured. To date, only a
limited amount of consulting revenue has been earned and the Company is still in
the development stage. The Company’s revenue recognition policy will be
re-evaluated in light of the licensing of solar manufacturing technologies in
the future.

The
Company capitalizes property and equipment over $500. Property and equipment
under $500 are expensed in the year purchased.
Loss per
Share
Loss per
Share is the calculation of basic earnings per share and diluted earnings per
share. Basic earnings per share are computed by dividing income available to
common shareholders by the weighted-average number of common shares available.
Diluted earnings per share is computed similar to basic earnings per share
except that the denominator is increased to include the number of additional
common shares that would have been outstanding if the potential common shares
had been issued and if the additional common shares were dilutive. The Company’s
diluted loss per share is the same as the basic loss per share for the fiscal
years ended September 30, 2009, and 2008, as the inclusion of any potential
shares would have had an anti-dilutive effect due to the Company generating a
loss.
Advertising
Advertising
costs are expensed as incurred. Total advertising costs were $11,340, and
$19,894 for the fiscal years ended September 30, 2009, and 2008,
respectively.
Research and
Development
Research
and development costs are expensed as incurred. Total research and development
costs were $358,884, and $(40,590) for the fiscal years ended September 30,
2009, and 2008, respectively. In the fiscal year ended September 30, 2008 the
Company recovered previous R&D expenses.
Inventory
Inventories
are stated at the lower of cost or market, and consist of a marketable
production prototype. As of September 30, 2009 and 2008, the value of the
inventory was $300,000 and $1,417,000, respectively.
Stock-Based
Compensation
Share-based
Payment applies to transactions in which an entity exchanges its equity
instruments for goods or services and also applies to liabilities an entity may
incur for goods or services that are to follow a fair value of those equity
instruments. We are required to follow a fair value approach using an
option-pricing model, such as the Black Scholes option valuation model, at the
date of a stock option grant. The deferred compensation calculated under the
fair value method would then be amortized over the respective vesting period of
the stock option. This has not had a material impact on our results of
operations.
Income
Taxes
Deferred
income taxes are provided using the liability method whereby deferred tax assets
are recognized for deductible temporary differences and operating loss and tax
credit carry-forwards and deferred tax liabilities are recognized for taxable
temporary differences. Temporary differences are the differences between the
reported amounts of assets and liabilities and their tax bases. Deferred tax
assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management,
it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets
will not be realized. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are adjusted for the
effects of the changes in tax laws and rates of the date of
enactment.
When tax
returns are filed, it is highly certain that some positions taken would be
sustained upon examination by the taxing authorities, while others are subject
to uncertainty about the merits of the position taken or the amount of the
position that would be ultimately sustained. The benefit of a tax position is
recognized in the financial statements in the period during which, based on all
available evidence, management believes it is more likely than not that the
position will be sustained upon examination, including the resolution of appeals
or litigation processes, if any. Tax positions taken are not offset or
aggregated with other positions. Tax positions that meet the
more-likely-than-not recognition threshold are measured as the largest amount of
tax benefit that is more than 50 percent likely of being realized upon
settlement with the applicable taxing authority. The portion of the benefits
associated with tax positions taken that exceeds the amount measured as
described above is reflected as a liability for unrecognized tax benefits in the
accompanying balance sheet along with any associated interest and penalties that
would be payable to the taxing authorities upon examination.
Recent Accounting
Pronouncements
In June
2009, the FASB issued guidance under Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”)
Topic 105, “Generally Accepted Accounting Principles” (SFAS No. 168, The FASB
Accounting Standards Codification TM and the Hierarchy of Generally Accepted
Accounting Principles). This guidance establishes the FASB ASC as the single
source of authoritative U.S. GAAP recognized by the FASB to be applied by
nongovernmental entities. Rules and interpretive releases of the SEC under
authority of federal securities laws are also sources of authoritative U.S. GAAP
for SEC registrants. SFAS 168 and the ASC are effective for financial statements
issued for interim and annual periods ending after September 15, 2009. The ASC
supersedes all existing non-SEC accounting and reporting standards. All other
non-grandfathered, non-SEC accounting literature not included in the ASC has
become non-authoritative. Following SFAS 168, the FASB will no longer issue new
standards in the form of Statements, FSPs, or EITF Abstracts. Instead, the FASB
will issue Accounting Standards Updates, which will serve only to update the
ASC, provide background information about the guidance, and provide the bases
for conclusions on the change(s) in the ASC. We adopted ASC 105 effective for
our financial statements issued as of September 30, 2009. The adoption of this
guidance did not have an impact on our financial statements but will alter the
references to accounting literature within the financial
statements.

SUMMARY
OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
(Continued)

In August
2009, the FASB issued guidance under Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No.
2009-05, “Measuring Liabilities at Fair Value”. This guidance clarifies how the
fair value a liability should be determined. This guidance is effective for the
first reporting period after issuance. We will adopt this guidance for our
fiscal year ended September 30, 2009. The adoption of this guidance has no
material impact on our financial statements
Reclassification
Certain
expenses for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2008 were reclassified to
conform with the expenses for the fiscal year ended September 30,

shares of common stock, with no par value. The Company is also authorized
to issue 50,000,000 shares of preferred stock with a par value of $0.01 per
share. The rights, preferences and privileges of the holders of the
preferred stock will be determined by the Board of Directors prior to issuance
of such shares. During the year ended September 30, 2009, the Company issued
3,000,000 shares of common stock issued through a private placement at a price
of $0.20 per share for cash of $600,000; 5,000,000 shares of common stock issued
at a price of $0.07 per share for cash of $350,000; 1,129,483 shares of common
stock issued at a price of $0.062 per share for cash of $70,000; 1,062,690

services. During the year ended September 30, 2008, the Company issued 8,650,000
shares of common stock at a price of $0.2890 per share for cash of $2,500,000;
15,347,581 shares of common stock issued at an average price of $0.3388 per
share for gross cash proceeds of $5,200,000; 3,500,000 shares of common stock
issued at a price of $0.34 per share as part of a financing

STOCK OPTIONS AND
WARRANTS
|
The
Company adopted a Stock Option Plan for the purposes of granting stock options
to its employees and others providing services to the Company, which reserves

shares of Common Stock. Options granted under the Plan may be either
Incentive Options or Nonqualified Options and shall be administered by the
Company's Board of Directors ("Board"). Each Option shall be
exercisable to the nearest whole share, in installments or otherwise, as the
respective Option agreements may provide. Notwithstanding any other provision of
the Plan or of any Option agreement, each Option shall expire on the date
specified in the Option agreement. During the fiscal year ended September 30,
2009, the Company granted 5,350,000 stock options. The stock options are
exercisable for a period of five years from the date of grant at an exercise
price between $0.16 and $0.36 per share and expire at various times through

Stock-based
compensation expense recognized during the period is based on the value of the
portion of stock-based payment awards that is ultimately expected to vest.
Stock-based compensation expense recognized in the financial statements of
operations during the fiscal year ended September 30, 2009, included
compensation expense for the stock-based payment awards granted prior to, but
not yet vested, as of September 30, 2009 based on the grant date fair value
estimated, and compensation expense for the stock-based payment awards granted
subsequent to September 30, 2009, based on the grant date fair value estimated.
We account for forfeitures as they occur. The stock-based compensation expense
recognized in the statement of operations during the fiscal years ended
September 30, 2009 and 2008 was $534,518 and $673,287,
respectively.

The
Company files income tax returns in the U.S. Federal jurisdiction, and the state
of California. With few exceptions, the Company is no longer subject to U.S.
federal, state and local, or non-U.S. income tax examinations by tax authorities
for years before 2006.
Included
in the balance at September 30, 2009, are no tax positions for which the
ultimate deductibility is highly certain, but for which there is uncertainty
about the timing of such deductibility. Because of the impact of
deferred tax accounting, other than interest and penalties, the disallowance of
the shorter deductibility period would not affect the annual effective tax rate
but would accelerate the payment of cash to the taxing authority to an earlier
period.
The
Company's policy is to recognize interest accrued related to unrecognized tax
benefits in interest expense and penalties in operating expenses. During the
fiscal year ended September 30, 2009, the Company did not recognize interest and
penalties.
At
September 30, 2009, the Company had net operating loss carry-forwards of
approximately $16,648,000 that may be offset against future taxable income from
the year 2010 through 2030. No tax benefit has been reported in the September
30, 2009 financial statements since the potential tax benefit is offset by a
valuation allowance of the same amount.
Due to
the change in ownership provisions of the Tax Reform Act of 1986, net operating
loss carry-forwards for Federal income tax reporting purposes are subject to
annual limitations. Should a change in ownership occur, net operating loss
carry-forwards may be limited as to use in future years.

At
September 30, 2008, the Company had net operating loss carry forwards of
approximately, $6,576,177 for federal income tax purposes. The deferred tax
assets of $2,630,471 are composed of the Company’s net operating loss carry
forwards of approximately $6,576,177 at the approximate tax effect of 40%. There
are no other material deferred tax assets or liabilities of the Company as of
September 30, 2008.
Deferred
taxes are provided on a liability method whereby deferred tax assets are
recognized for deductible temporary differences and operating loss and tax
credit carry-forwards and deferred tax liabilities are recognized for taxable
temporary differences. Temporary differences are the differences between the
reported amounts of assets and liabilities and their tax bases. Deferred tax
assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management,
it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets
will not be realized. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are adjusted for the
effects of changes in tax laws and rates on the date of enactment.

Manufacturing Equipment in
Process
In
response to changes within the financial markets and solar industry the Company
modified its business development efforts. The change to operation and business
development plans required the review and valuation assessment of each of the
assets that make up the total under the Company’s Manufacturing Equipment in
Process account. The review has resulted in a write down of certain assets
related to the Company’s efforts to establish amorphous silicon solar module
manufacturing infrastructure that the Company does not anticipate utilizing
under its new plan. This impairment resulted in an expense of $5,826,990. This
represents a total write down to zero for the portion of the Company’s
Manufacturing Equipment in Process account that the Company does not anticipate
using under its new plan of operations. The valuation adjustment was
the result of an analysis of certain significant unobservable events and the
inputs used in determining the amount of the valuation adjustment include the
decision to move to new manufacturing technology under efforts to establish a
competitive advantage. As these assets were not in service, there was
no impact to depreciation expense or accumulated depreciation. The non-cash
expense for the period ended September 30, 2009 is $209,580. However, there was
an impact to the impairment expense recorded for the period.
Inventory Asset for
Sale
The
Company has engaged in efforts to market and sell a production prototype machine
held in inventory for sale. We have engaged in efforts to solicit buyers, but we
cannot be assured that a sale of the machine will be finalized in the near term.
In an effort to develop alternate methods for the sale of the system the Company
is engaged in discussions with interested parties for an arms-length trade of
the system for services related to the Company’s efforts to develop new thin
film manufacturing techniques for CIGS thin films. As a result of these
negotiations utilizing the system as a trade for services, the company
reasonably believes that the book value of the marketable prototype should be
adjusted to reflect a current fair market valuation of $300,000 representing an
average of the trade discussions under way at September 30, 2009. Management
also believes that the write down of $1,117,000 to a book value of $300,000
represents the reasonable salvage value for the marketable prototype
machine.

COMMITMENTS
AND CONTINGENCIES

California Corporate Office
Lease
Effective
April 1, 2009 the Company reduced its leased facilities at its Aliso Viejo, CA
offices by approximately 50%. This resulted in associated reductions to monthly
lease and facility expenses totaling approximately $2,000 leaving a monthly
lease and facility liability of approximately $1,400. The Company plans to
continue to lease these facilities for the foreseeable future.
Oregon Manufacturing
Facility Lease
In
furtherance of its revised plan of operations focusing on the development of new
manufacturing technology for CIGS thin films and plans to establish
manufacturing operations through joint venture license agreements for such new
technology the Company elected to eliminate its Oregon based
facility. On August 27, 2009, the Company entered into a lease
termination and mutual release of claims with Merix Corporation, an Oregon
corporation. Pursuant to the terms of the Agreement, the Parties agreed to
terminate that certain sublease agreement by and between the Parties, dated
April 1, 2008, related to certain real property described therein which
comprised the Company’s Oregon based facility (the “Premises”). Accordingly, the
Company agreed to vacate the Premises on or before September 1, 2009. In
connection with the termination of the Sublease, the Company also agreed (a) to
sell certain equipment, currently housed on the Premises, to Merix for the
amount of $111,620, (b) to allow Merix to complete a full drawdown of that
certain $106,000 irrevocable letter of credit issued by Wells Fargo Bank, N.A.,
at the request of the Company, in favor of Merix. The combined amounts of the
sale of equipment and draw down to the letter of credit totaling $217,620 were
credited to the accrued lease payment liabilities. The remaining accrued lease
payment liabilities and contractual term lease obligation were reduced to
$456,920.66 and the Company issued an unsecured promissory note in favor of
Merix in the amount of $456,920.66. The note accrues interest at 10% per annum.
The Parties agreed to unconditionally release each other from the obligations
imposed by, or related to, the Sublease, except for the obligations established
by the Agreement. The termination of the Sublease eliminates
continued monthly operating costs associated with the facility, which the
Company no longer requires for its plan of operations, while also reducing the
Company’s short-term liabilities associated with the lease to zero and reducing
the Company’s long-term liabilities by approximately sixty-five percent
(65%).
Colorado Facilities
Lease
On
September 30, 2009 the Company extended the lease at its Golden, Colorado
facility for an additional six months expiring on March 31, 2010 at the lease
rate of $1,790 per month plus $945.00 in triple net for a total of $2,735 per
month. While the Company does not currently conduct operations of any
significance in the facility a machine built under contract for the Company, and
held in inventory for sale by the Company, is housed in this facility and we are
engaged in efforts to market and sell this machine. Upon the sale of the machine
we do not anticipate continued use of the facility in our
operations.
Marketable Production
Prototype Machine
An
inspection on April 30, 2009 of a production prototype machine built for the
Company to prove technology for intended resale by the Company resulted in the
determination that the machine continues to fail to meet contractual
requirements and on May 4, 2009 XsunX provided the vendor, MVSystems Inc., a
notice asserting that MVSystems is in material default of the terms of the
agreement for the machine between the parties. No resolution to this notice of
default has been agreed to by the parties.
Marketable Production
Prototype Sales Tax Dispute
In March
2009 XsunX received notice from the State of Colorado offering determination
that sales tax and penalties were due for what the state perceived as a purchase
of a machine for use by XsunX rather than as an inventory item that was
developed for re-sale. On April 10, 2009 the Company filed a protest
and hearing request disputing the findings of the tax auditor requesting that
the total tax liability determination be reversed. As of September 30, 2009 we
had not yet received a final determination from the Colorado Department of
Revenue and we had a potential contingent liability in the amount of $72,800 for
tax on the machine. On November 17, 2009 the Colorado Department of Revenue
withdrew and cancelled its assessment of tax liability in
total.

Manufacturing Facility
Production Equipment Dispute
Under the
Company’s previous efforts to establish a thin film solar module manufacturing
facility the Company had placed an order for certain thin film deposition
equipment with a vendor. While the Company worked with the vendor to verify and
approve the contractual compliance of certain deliverables associated with
$2,500,000 in invoicing received by the Company from the vendor the Company
reported this invoice as a liability in its quarterly report for the period
ended December 31, 2008 on Form 10Q. We completed our review of the deliverables
and the vendor’s compliance with contractual requirements and determined that
the deliverables under the invoice did not meet the required contractual
specifications. For the period ended March 31, 2009 the Company reversed the
$2,500,000 accounts payable liability until such time that the contractual
requirements had been met by the vendor. In June the vendor and XsunX proposed
terms for the cancellation of the order without further obligation to either
party. As of the year ended September 30, 2009 the parties had agreed to terms
but had not executed a signed release. The terms did not include or create any
current or continuing liabilities for XsunX or the vendor. On December 21, 2009
the parties agreed to the termination of the order and all liabilities
associated with the order further providing that neither party would be require
to provide continuing services or payment.
Under the
Company’s previous efforts to establish a thin film solar module manufacturing
facility the Company had placed an order for glass washing systems totaling
$523,950 with a vendor. Deposits totaling $130,987.50 were paid to the vendor
prior to the cancellation of the order by the Company, and no systems have been
delivered. The vendor is claiming that a balance is due prior to shipment in the
amount of $408,963 which includes certain accrued interest payments. The Company
has cancelled this order and disputes this amount and has instructed the vendor
to apply the deposit payment of $130,987.50 towards re-stocking fees as full and
final settlement to the account. Invoicing for this item totaling $209,580
remains on the Company’s account payables until such time that a final
adjustment can be determined between the parties. In the judgment of management
this remaining accounts payable amount of $209,580, if necessary, fairly
represents an allowance sufficient to account for adjustments to re-stocking
credits.
On
September 3, 2009, XsunX received notice of an action filed by a vendor in the
State of Oregon, Multnomah County, requesting, a) that the court grant the
re-possession of certain industrial gas management equipment (the “equipment”)
for shipment back to the vendor (XsunX had returned the equipment to the vendor
on August 28, 2009), b) that the court grant the vendor unspecified re-stocking
and re-shipment fees, or c) the sum of $117,207.07 plus interest and collection
fees for payment for the equipment. The vendor allegations stem from XsunX’s
determination that the vendor had modified an order for the equipment previously
placed by XsunX without approval by XsunX through the issuance of an authorizing
purchase order. Attempts by XsunX to return the equipment were met with demands
for re-stocking fees from the vendor. XsunX has refused to pay re-stocking fees
for equipment it believes was modified without approval. The vendor agreed to
the return of the equipment and then subsequently filed its claim. Since the
filing of the claim the vendor has proposed that it provide XsunX with a
re-stocking credit leaving approximately $95,000 in re-stocking fees, interest,
and collection fees. We dispute this amount and have retained counsel to
aggressively defend this matter. As of the date the financial statements were
issued the Company is unable to estimate a loss related to this
action.
Employment
Agreements
On
November 6, 2007, we entered into an amended and restated employment agreement
with Mr. Joseph Grimes, our chief operating officer. Under the terms of his
employment agreement, Mr. Grimes is entitled to a minimum annual base
salary of $210,000. In March 2009 Mr. Grimes and the Company agreed to the
reduction of annual base salary from $210,000 to $157,500 as part of cost
cutting measures approved by the Board of Directors in association with the
Company’s efforts to modify its plan of operations. In conjunction with agreeing
to the reduction in base salary the Company also provided Mr. Grimes with a
stock option grant to purchase 2,500,000 shares of our common stock,
exercisable at $0.16 cents per share. In the event that Mr. Grimes
employment is terminated by us without good cause, Mr. Grimes may receive a
severance payment in the amount equal to 6 months of his annual base salary
then paid to Mr. Grimes, all payable within 30 days of such termination.
Potential cost to the Company could total at minimum $100,000 for the
termination of Mr. Grimes subject to the termination without good cause by the
Company.
On
January 1, 2007, we entered into an employment agreement with Mr. Robert Wendt,
our chief technical officer. Under the terms of his employment agreement,
Mr. Wendt was initially entitled to a minimum annual base salary of
$150,000 which was adjusted to $200,000 in November 2007 after review by the
board. In March 2009 Mr. Wendt and the Company agreed to the reduction of annual
salary from $200,000 to $150,000 as part of cost cutting measures approved by
the Board of Directors in association with the Company’s efforts to modify its
plan of operations. In conjunction with agreeing to the reduction in base salary
the Company also provided Mr. Wendt with a stock option grant to purchase
2,500,000 shares of our common stock, exercisable at $0.16 cents per share.
In September 2009 the Company agreed to the terms of a two year Key Employee
Retention Agreement with Mr. Robert Wendt providing that in the event that Mr.
Wendt’s employment is terminated by the Company without good cause, Mr. Wendt
may receive twelve months salary at the then salary rate at time of termination,
twelve months Company paid costs for actual costs incurred by Mr. Wendt for
medical benefits related to COBRA coverage, and a relocation payment up to
$2,500. Potential cost to the Company could total at minimum $164,500 for the
termination of Mr. Wendt subject to the termination without good cause by the
Company.
On
January 1, 2007, XSUNX, Inc. issued a secured, seven year, 10% note to Sencera,
LLC in the amount up to $1,500,000. Under the terms, the Company provided
Sencera, LLC with $400,000 at the time of signing and $137,500 per month for up
to eight months. These funds were to be used to develop technology and obtain
licenses in agreement with the Technology Development and License Agreement
between Sencera and XsunX, Inc also signed on January 1, 2007. The note may be
converted into a membership interest in Sencera, LLP and an extension of the
license for a period of three years. The security consists of the license
rights, the ability to exercise the conversion and all other rights and remedies
provided by law. On September 7, 2007, XsunX initiated the final funding of
disbursements under a Promissory Note and Loan Agreement dated January 1, 2007,
between XsunX and a private technology development firm. Under the Promissory
Note and Loan Agreement XsunX has funded and extended the principal amount of
$1,500,000 dollars to the private firm. On June 13, 2008, the Company entered
into a separations agreement with Sencera, LLC which resulted in the full
repayment of the principal $1,500,000 balance of the note plus accrued interest
of approximately $173,251.

The
following are items management has evaluated as subsequent events through
the date the financial statements were issued.
Under the
Company’s previous efforts to establish a thin film solar module manufacturing
facility the Company had placed an order for certain thin film deposition
equipment with a vendor. In June the vendor and XsunX proposed terms for the
cancellation of the order without further obligation to either party. On
December 21, 2009 the parties agreed to the termination of the order and
all liabilities associated with the order further providing that neither party
would be require to provide continuing services or payment.
On
October 16, 2009, the Company accepted an offer for the sale of 2,556,818 shares
of its restricted common stock in a private placement for cash proceeds of
$225,000.
On
November 16, 2009 the Company issued 53,789 shares of its common restricted
stock for services related to marketing and public relations valued at $10,000
dollars.
On
December 31, 2009 the Company accepted an offer for the sale of 1,000,000 shares
of its restricted common stock in a private placement for cash proceeds of
$88,000.
In the
fiscal year ended September 30, 2009 XsunX modified its previous plans to
directly establish amorphous silicon product manufacturing infrastructure. We
have re-focused operations on the development of a cross-industry thin film
solar manufacturing concept that we believe provides an opportunity for XsunX to
establish a competitive advantage within the industry. In furtherance of these
efforts the Company has begun the development of a hybrid manufacturing system
combining certain technologies derived from the magnetic media manufacturing
industry with manufacturing techniques for thin film solar. The Company has
agreed to an estimate of $1,150,000 from a vendor for the cost of this prototype
system, and in October 2009 paid an initial $115,000 deposit towards the
manufacture of this system. The vendor and the Company are now engaged in
efforts to complete the testing and engineering designs necessary to build the
system.
In March
2009 XsunX received notice from the State of Colorado offering determination
that sales tax and penalties were due for what the state perceived as a purchase
of a machine for use by XsunX rather than as an inventory item that was

The
accompanying notes are an integral part of these financial
statements
XSUNX,
INC.
(A
Development Stage Company)
Notes to
Financial Statements – (Unaudited)
March 31,
2010
The
accompanying unaudited financial statements have been prepared in accordance
with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America
for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and
Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of
the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting
principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all
normal recurring adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation have
been included. Operating results for the six months ended March 31,
2010 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the
year ending September 30, 2010. For further information refer to the
financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the Company's Form 10-K
for the year ended September 30, 2009.
Going
Concern
The
accompanying financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis of
accounting, which contemplates continuity of operations, realization of assets
and liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business. The
accompanying financial statements do not reflect any adjustments that might
result if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern. The
Company does not generate significant revenue, and has negative cash flows from
operations, which raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to
continue as a going concern. The ability of the Company to continue
as a going concern and appropriateness of using the going concern basis is
dependent upon, among other things, additional cash infusion. The
Company has obtained funds from its shareholders since its inception through the
six months ended March 31, 2010. Management believes the existing shareholders
and the prospective new investors will provide the additional cash needed to
meet the Company’s obligations as they become due, and will allow the
development of its core of business.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING
POLICIES
|
This
summary of significant accounting policies of XsunX, Inc. is presented to assist
in understanding the Company’s financial statements. The financial statements
and notes are representations of the Company’s management, which is responsible
for their integrity and objectivity. These accounting policies conform to
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and
have been consistently applied in the preparation of the financial
statements.
Development Stage Activities
and Operations
The
Company has been in its initial stages of formation and for the period ended
March 31, 2010, had no revenues. A development stage activity as one in which
all efforts are devoted substantially to establishing a new business and even if
planned principal operations have commenced, revenues are
insignificant.
Use of
Estimates
The
preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that
affect the amounts reported in the accompanying financial
statements. Significant estimates made in preparing these financial
statements include the estimate of useful lives of property and equipment, the
deferred tax valuation allowance, and the fair value of stock options. Actual
results could differ from those estimates.
Cash and Cash
Equivalents
For
purposes of the statements of cash flows, cash and cash equivalents include cash
in banks and money markets with an original maturity of three months or
less.
Fair Value of Financial
Instruments
The
Company’s financial instruments, including cash and cash equivalents, accounts
payable and accrued liabilities are carried at cost, which approximates their
fair value, due to the relatively short maturity of these instruments. As of
March 31, 2010, and September 30, 2009, the Company’s notes payable have stated
borrowing rates that are consistent with those currently available to the
Company and, accordingly, the Company believes the carrying value of these debt
instruments approximates their fair value.

2. SUMMARY
OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
Loss per Share
Calculations
Loss per
Share is the calculation of basic earnings per share and diluted earnings per
share. Basic earnings per share are computed by dividing income available to
common shareholders by the weighted-average number of common shares available.
Diluted earnings per share is computed similar to basic earnings per share
except that the denominator is increased to include the number of additional
common shares that would have been outstanding if the potential common shares
had been issued and if the additional common shares were dilutive. The Company’s
diluted loss per share is the same as the basic loss per share for the period
ended March 31, 2010 as the inclusion of any potential shares would have had an
anti-dilutive effect due to the Company generating a loss.
Revenue
Recognition
The
Company recognizes revenue when services are performed, and at the time of
shipment of products, provided that evidence of an arrangement exists, title and
risk of loss have passed to the customer, fees are fixed or determinable, and
collection of the related receivable is reasonably assured. To date
the Company has had minimal revenue and is still in the development
stage.
Stock-Based
Compensation
Share-based
Payment applies to transactions in which an entity exchanges its equity
instruments for goods or services and also applies to liabilities an entity may
incur for goods or services that are to follow a fair value of those equity
instruments. We are required to follow a fair value approach using an
option-pricing model, such as the Black Scholes option valuation model, at the
date of a stock option grant. The deferred compensation calculated under the
fair value method would then be amortized over the respective vesting period of
the stock option. This has not had a material impact on our results of
operations.
3. CAPITAL
STOCK
At March
31, 2010, the Company’s authorized stock consisted of 500,000,000 shares of
common stock, with no par value. The Company is also authorized to
issue 50,000,000 shares of preferred stock with a par value of $0.01 per
share. The rights, preferences and privileges of the holders of the
preferred stock will be determined by the Board of Directors prior to issuance
of such shares. During the six months ended March 31, 2010, the Company issued
2,556,818 shares of common stock at a price of $0.088 per share for cash of
$225,000; 1,000,000 shares of common stock issued at a price of $0.088 per share
for cash of $88,000; 53,789 shares of common stock issued at a price of $0.1859
per share for services at a fair value of $10,000; 2,000,000 shares of common
stock issued at a price of $0.075 per share for cash of $150,000; 6,250,000
shares of common stock issued for net proceeds of $500,000; 139,424 shares of
common stock issued at a price of $0.16 per share for services at a fair value
of $22,500. During the six months ended March 31, 2009, the Company issued
3,000,000 shares of common stock at a price of $0.20 per share for cash of
$600,000; 50,000 shares of common stock issued at a price of $0.22 per share for
services at fair value of $11,000.
4. STOCK
OPTIONS AND WARRANTS
The
Company adopted a Stock Option Plan for the purposes of granting stock options
to its employees and others providing services to the Company, which reserves
and sets aside for the granting of Options for Twenty Million (20,000,000)
shares of Common Stock. Options granted under the Plan may be either
Incentive Options or Nonqualified Options and shall be administered by the
Company's Board of Directors ("Board"). Each Option shall be
exercisable to the nearest whole share, in installments or otherwise, as the
respective Option agreements may provide. Notwithstanding any other provision of
the Plan or of any Option agreement, each Option shall expire on the date
specified in the Option agreement. During the period ended March 31, 2010, the
Company granted no stock options.

operations during the six months ended March 31, 2010, included compensation
expense for the stock-based payment awards granted prior to, but not yet vested,
as of March 31, 2010 based on the grant date fair value estimated, and
compensation expense for the stock-based payment awards granted subsequent to
March 31, 2010, based on the grant date fair value estimated. We account for
forfeitures as they occur. The stock-based compensation expense recognized in
the statement of operations during the six months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009
was $149,936 and $154,500, respectively.

5. PROMISSORY
NOTE
During
the year ended September 30, 2009, the Company converted an account payable to a
promissory note in the amount of $456,921. The note accrues interest at 10% per
annum. The note, including all principal and interest, is due September 1, 2011.
The interest expense related to this note for the six months ended March 31,
2010 is $22,846.
6. NOTES,
COMMITMENTS, AND CONTINGENCIES
Leased Facility
Transactions
Our lease
for facilities in Golden, at the lease rate of $1,790 per month plus $945 in
triple net for a total of $2,735 per month will expire May 30,
2010. Under agreement with the landlord we plan to vacate the
premises by June 15, 2010. While we do not currently conduct operations of any
significance in the facility, a machine built under contract for us, and held in
inventory for sale by us, is housed in this facility and we are engaged in the
sale and transfer of this machine as part of our plans to prepare to
vacate.
Settlement of Vendor
Dispute
On
September 3, 2009, we received notice of an action filed by Airgas, Corp. in the
State of Oregon, Multnomah County, requesting, a) that the court grant the
re-possession of certain industrial gas management equipment (the “equipment”)
for shipment back to the vendor (we had returned the equipment to the vendor on
August 28, 2009), b) that the court grant the vendor unspecified re-stocking and
re-shipment fees, or c) the sum of $117,207 plus interest and collection fees
for payment for the equipment. Earlier attempts by us to return the equipment
were met with demands for re-stocking fees from the vendor. We had refused to
pay re-stocking fees. The vendor eventually agreed to the return of the
equipment and then subsequently filed its claim. In February 2010, prior to a
summary judgment hearing, we elected to negotiate a settlement with Airgas Corp.
agreeing to pay $114,641 in 12 equal monthly payments of $9,553 commencing March
1, 2010. No default currently exists under this agreement.
MVSystems, Inc. Abandonment
of Patent Application
In May
2008 XsunX licensed certain patented and patent-pending technologies from
MVSystems, Inc. In April 2009 the Company received notice from MVSystems that
one of the patent pending technologies licensed by XsunX, U.S. Patent
Application No. 10/905,545 entitled “Stable Three-Terminal and Four Terminal
Solar Cells and Solar Cell Panels Using Thin-Film Silicon Technology, had been
rejected by the US Patent Office for various deficiencies. In August 2009
MVSystems notified the Company that it had amended its application and re-filed
the amended patent application with the U.S Patent Office. On January 22, 2010,
the Company received notification from MVSystems that the above referenced
patent application had again been rejected by the Untied States Patent Office
and that MVSystems had elected to abandon the above referenced patent
application. By prior agreement, the Company has assumed all rights of MVS to
prosecute or maintain the referenced patent application, and the Company
continues to hold related contractual rights and claims against MVSystems,
Inc. The Company's current plan of operations and technology
development efforts does not contemplate the use of the above referenced patent
application technology.

CONCENTRATION OF CREDIT RISK
The
Company has a concentration of credit risk for cash by maintaining deposits with
banks, which may at times exceed the insured amounts. The accounts
are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation up to $250,000 per
