1. Business.
In
this Report, we use the terms “Company,” “XsunX,” “we,” “us,” and “our,” unless
otherwise indicated, or the context otherwise requires, to refer to XsunX,
Inc.
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 name change to XsunX,
Inc.
Business
Overview
XsunX,
Inc. is developing and has begun to market a hybrid manufacturing solution to
produce high performance Copper Indium Gallium (di) Selenide (CIGS) thin film
solar cells. Our patent pending system and processing technology,
which we call CIGSolar™, focuses on the mass production of individual thin-film
CIGS solar cells that match silicon solar cell dimensions and can be offered as
a non-toxic, high-efficiency and lowest-cost alternative to the use of silicon
solar cells. We intend to offer licenses for the use of the CIGSolar™ process
technology thereby generating revenue streams through licensing fees and
manufacturing royalties for the use of the technology.
Technology
Overview
Our
efforts have been focused on the development and customization of a series of
specialized processing tools that when combined provide a turn-key
high-throughput manufacturing system to produce CIGS solar
cells.
Core
attributes to our process method are the use of small area thermal
co-evaporation techniques coupled with state-of-the-art sputter deposition
technologies derived from the hard disc drive (HDD) industry to improve
manufacturing output, increase cell efficiency, production yields, and lower the
costs for the production of high efficiency CIGS cells.
There are
five (5) core process tools that when combined will initially produce 125mm
format (about 5” square) solar cells, scaling to 156mm formats (about 6”
square). We believe that it will be the ability of our system to minimize
processing defects while maintaining exceptional per hour production rates that
will provide superior commercial opportunities. CIGSolar™ cells will be
manufactured on stainless steel squares sized to match silicon solar cells
currently used in nearly 75% of all solar modules manufactured
today.
This
innovative approach bridges the gap between inexpensive thin-film and costly
high efficiency silicon wafer technologies to produce a new breed of solar cell
combining what we believe are the best attributes of each technology. The mass
production of individual, high performance CIGS solar cells – like solar
building blocks – we believe will allow solar power to finally compete
effectively against other sources of electrical energy.
3
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. It is this high efficiency low cost potential for CIGS, and its
wide array of uses and applications, that we believe provides the basis to drive
the cost of energy production for alternative sources to unprecedented new lows.
For this reason many major researchinstitutes and agencies worldwide view CIGS
as a significant solar technology and support continuous development and
research efforts related to CIGS thin films.
We
believe that through the successful combination of small area co-evaporation
processing techniques with the high rate sputter processing techniques developed
within the hard disc media industry, overall factory yields (total watts of
production per day) canbe increased thereby resulting in lower production costs
while still delivering the full energy and low cost potential that CIGS based
devices can offer.
CIGS
Experience
Our staff
experience includes nearly 16 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 CIGS thin film
industry.
Sales and
Marketing
We have
developed and have begun to implement a plan to offer CIGSolar™ technology to
existing manufacturers of solar products in the renewable energy industry.
Although XsunX focuses on the development of solar technology and products, we
are not a systems or a machine manufacturer.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 licensees to manufacturer CIGS cells quickly and
inexpensively.
We
anticipate that at the conclusion of the initial 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
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 are developing, have acquired, or licensed:
The
Company is developing a hybrid manufacturing solution to produce high
performance Copper Indium Gallium (di) Selenide (CIGS) thin film solar
cells. Our system and processing technology, which we call CIGSolar™,
focuses on the mass production of individual thin-film CIGS solar cells that
match silicon solar cell dimensions and can be offered as a non-toxic,
high-efficiency and lowest-cost alternative to the use of silicon solar cells.
We have designed a proprietary system for a process known as co-evaporation used
in the manufacture of the solar absorbing material CIGS. Certain key features
related to this system we believe may qualify for patent protection. In November
2010 we filed provisional patent application with the United States Patent and
Trademark Office identifying five (5) claims. As we continue to refine our
designs and process technologies we may elect to file additional applications
and we may seek to enforce our claims through filing of utility
patents.
In
September 2003, the Company was 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.

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.
Company
History
XsunX 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”).
Pursuant
to the Plan, the Company 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.
Pursuant to the Plan, the
Company authorized the issuance of 110,530,000 (post reverse split) common
shares. Prior to the Plan, the Company had no tangible assets and insignificant
liabilities. Subsequent to the Plan, the Company completed its name change from
Sun River Mining, Inc. to XsunX, Inc. The transaction was completed on September
30, 2003.
Government
Contracts
There are
no government contracts as of the fiscal year ended September 30,
2010.
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 selenide 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. Several of the larger 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
The
operations of the Company are subject to local, state and federal laws and
regulations governing environmental quality and pollution control. Compliance
with these regulations by the Company 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
the Company’s operations or competitive position, and the cost of such
compliance has not been material. The Company is unable to assess or predict at
this time what effect additional regulations or legislation could have on its
activities.
Employees
and Consultants
As of the
fiscal year ended September 30, 2010 we had 6 salaried employees. This
represents an increase of 1 employee over the same period ended 2009. The
Company also engages 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.

Item
1A. Risk Factors
An
investment in our common stock involves a high degree of risk. You should
carefully consider the following risk factors, as well as the other information
in this Annual Report on Form 10-K, in evaluating XsunX and our business. If any
of the following risks occur, our business, financial condition and results of
operations could be materially and adversely affected. Accordingly, the trading
price of our common stock could decline and you may lose all or part of your
investment in our common stock. The risks and uncertainties described below are
not the only ones we face. Additional risks that we currently do not know about
or that we currently believe to be immaterial may also impair our business
operations.
We
Have Not Generated Any Significant Revenues and Our Financial Statements Raise
Substantial Doubt About Our Ability to Continue As A Going Concern.
We are a
development stage company and, to date, have not generated any significant
revenues. The accompanying consolidated financial statements have
been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the
United States of America, which contemplate our continuation as a going concern.
Net loss for the years ended September 30, 2010 and 2009 was $2,210,603and
$10,634,133, respectively. Net cash used for operations was $(1,347,395) and
$(2,862,327) for the years ended September 30, 2010 and 2009,
respectively. At September 30, 2010, we had a working capital deficit of $220,
978. From inception through September 30, 2010, we had an accumulated deficit of
$33,919,805.
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
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 have
in the past experienced substantial losses and negative cash flow from
operations and have required financing, including equity and debt financing, in
order to pursue the commercialization of products based on our technologies. We
expect that we will continue to need significant financing to operate our
business. Although the Company entered into a financing arrangement with Lincoln
Park Capital Fund, LLC pursuant to which the Company has the right over a
25-month period to receive $50,000 every two business days under such financing
arrangement unless our stock price equals or exceeds $0.20, in which case we can
sell greater amounts to Lincoln Park as the price of our common stock increases,
Lincoln Park shall not have the right or 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. 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 effect on our business.
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 effect on our business.
6
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 effect on our
business.
There can
be no assurance that such 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 effect 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 effect 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 effect 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 effect 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.
7
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.
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.
Standards
for compliance with section 404 of The Sarbanes-Oxley Act Of 2002 are uncertain,
and if we fail to comply in a timely manner, our business could be harmed and
our stock price could decline.
This
annual report does not include an attestation report of the company's registered
public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting.
Management's report was not subject to attestation by the Company's registered
public accounting firm pursuant to rules of the Securities and Exchange
Commission that permit the Company to provide only management's report in this
annual report. The standards that must be met for management to assess the
internal control over financial reporting as effective are new and complex, and
require significant documentation, testing and possible remediation to meet the
detailed standards and will impose significant additional expenses on us. We may
encounter problems or delays in completing activities necessary to make an
assessment of our internal control over financial reporting. If we cannot assess
our internal control over financial reporting as effective, investor confidence
and share value may be negatively impacted.
Our
common stock is considered a “Penny Stock” and as a result, related
broker-dealer requirements affect 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.
8
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.
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 effect 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;
|
•
|
industry
developments;
|
•
|
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 United States 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.

2. Properties
California
Corporate Office Lease
The
Company leases facilities in Aliso Viejo, CA. At the lease rate of approximately
$1,000 per month. The Company extended its lease for 12 months in May 2010 and
plans to continue to lease these facilities for the foreseeable
future.
Colorado
Facilities Lease
Our lease
for facilities in Golden, Colorado 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. We vacated the premises on May 25, 2010. A security deposit in
the amount of $2,615 was returned to the Company. The Company consolidated
operations in its Aliso Viejo facilities.
The
Company owns no real property.
Item
3. 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 effect on our
business, financial condition or operating results except as set forth
below.
On
September 21, 2010 we received notice of a claim filed by Billco Manufacturing
Inc. in the State of California, Orange County Superior Court, requesting that
the court award $340,567.50 for an open book account balance purportedly owed to
the manufacturer by XsunX. The vendor allegations stem from a demand for payment
made in the amount of $340,567.50 for the order of certain equipment by XsunX in
2008. XsunX refused to pay this amount as we had cancelled the order placed with
the vendor, the vendor was in possession of its own un-used standard systems
that it could market to other buyers in the course of its normal business, and
that XsunX’s prior payment in the amount of $130,987.50 to the vendor
represented, in the judgment of management, a fair and final re-stocking fee. We
dispute any additional amounts claimed by the vendor and have retained counsel
to defend this matter.
In
February 2010, we elected to negotiate a settlement related to a dispute over
certain equipment with Airgas Corp.agreeing to pay $114,641 in 12 equal monthly
payments of $9,553 commencing March 1, 2010. As of September 30, 2010 the
Company has made payments totaling $66,874 leaving a principal balance in the
amount of $47,767 as of the fiscal year ended September 30, 2010. No default
currently exists under this agreement.

Recent
Sales of Securities (Registered and Unregistered)
The
authorized Common stock of the Company was established at 500,000,000
shares 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. The
following represents a detailed analysis of the fiscal year ended September 30,
2010 Common stock transactions.
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. The shares were issued in a transaction exempt from registration
pursuant to Section 4(2) of the Securities Act.
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. The shares were issued in a transaction exempt from registration
pursuant to Section 4(2) of the Securities Act.
On March
17, 2010 the Company accepted an offer for the sale of 2,000,000 shares of its
restricted common stock in a private placement for cash proceeds of $150,000.
The shares were issued in a transaction exempt from registration pursuant to
Section 4(2) of the Securities Act.
Lincoln
Park Capital Fund, LLC Transaction
On March
30, 2010, XsunX signed a $5 million stock purchase agreement with Lincoln Park
Capital Fund, LLC (“LPC”), an Illinois limited liability
company. Upon signing the agreement, XsunX received $500,000 from LPC
as an initial purchase under the $5 million dollar commitment in exchange for
5,000,000 shares of our common stock. We also entered into a
registration rights agreement with LPC whereby we agreed to file a registration
statement related to the transaction with the U.S. Securities & Exchange
Commission (“SEC”) covering the shares that have been issued or may be issued to
LPC under the purchase agreement. On April 30, 2010, XsunX, Inc.
filed a Form S-1 with the Securities and Exchange Commission seeking to register
27,500,000 shares related to our financing agreements with LPC. The registration
was declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission on June 30,
2010.Subject to the effective registration statement related to the transaction,
we have the right over a 25-month period to sell our shares of common stock to
LPC in amounts up to $500,000 per sale, depending on certain conditions as set
forth in the purchase agreement, up to the aggregate commitment of $5
million.
13
There are
no upper limits to the price LPC may pay to purchase our common stock, and the
purchase price of the shares related to the $4.5 million of future funding will
be based on the prevailing market prices of the Company’s shares at the time of
sales without any fixed discount. The Company will control the timing and amount
of any sales of shares to LPC. LPC shall not have the right or the
obligation to purchase any shares of our common stock on any business day that
the price of our common stock is below $0.08.
In
consideration for entering into the $5 million agreement which provides for an
additional $4.5 million of future funding, we issued to LPC 1,250,000 shares of
our common stock as a financing inception commitment and shall issue an
equivalent amount of shares pro rata as LPC purchases the additional $4.5
million. The common stock purchase agreement may be terminated by us at any time
at our discretion without any cost to us. Except for a limitation on
variable priced financings, there are no negative covenants, restrictions on
future funding’s, penalties or liquidated damages in the
agreement. The proceeds received by the Company under the common
stock 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.
Pursuant

Business
Overview
XsunX,
Inc. is developing and has begun to market a hybrid manufacturing solution to
produce high performance Copper Indium Gallium (di) Selenide (CIGS) thin film
solar cells. Our patent pending system and processing technology,
which we call CIGSolar™, focuses on the mass production of individual thin-film
CIGS solar cells that match silicon solar cell dimensions and can be offered as
a non-toxic, high-efficiency and lowest-cost alternative to the use of silicon
solar cells. We intend to offer licenses for the use of the CIGSolar™ process
technology thereby generating revenue streams through licensing fees and
manufacturing royalties for the use of the technology.
Our
efforts have been focused on the development and customization of a series of
specialized processing tools that when combined provide a turn-key
high-throughput manufacturing system to produce CIGS solar
cells.
Core
attributes to our process method are the use of small area thermal
co-evaporation techniques coupled with state-of-the-art sputter deposition
technologies derived from the hard disc drive (HDD) industry to improve
manufacturing output, increase cell efficiency, production yields, and lower the
costs for the production of high efficiency CIGS cells.
There are
five (5) core process tools that when combined will initially produce 125mm
format (about 5” square) solar cells, scaling to 156mm formats (about 6”
square). We believe that it will be the ability of our system to minimize
processing defects while maintaining exceptional per hour production rates that
will provide superior commercial opportunities. CIGSolar™ cells will be
manufactured on stainless steel squares sized to match silicon solar cells
currently used in nearly 75% of all solar modules manufactured
today.
This
innovative approach bridges the gap between inexpensive thin-film and costly
high efficiency silicon wafer technologies to produce a new breed of solar cell
combining what we believe are the best attributes of each technology. The mass
production of individual, high performance CIGS solar cells – like solar
building blocks – we believe will allow solar power to finally compete
effectively against other sources of electrical energy.
Plan
of Operations
For the
fiscal year ending September 30, 2011, the Company has developed a plan of
operations focused on the continued development and marketing of the
aforementionedthin film solar manufacturing technology that we believe provides
an opportunity for XsunX to establish a competitive advantage within the solar
industry.
Our Plan
of Operations, based upon the aforementioned activities, commits $1.67million
for general, administrative, research and development activities, and $2.62
million working capitalunder a phase two plan to establish a limited
scale production system for use in marketing and sales efforts
through the use of the system to demonstrate technologies, continued process
development and improvement under our technology license model, and for support
purposes of the systems placed in the field as we work to commercialize 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
Company’s 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, 2010 Compared to Fiscal
Year Ended September 30, 2009.
Revenue and Cost of
Sales:
The Company generated no revenues in
the fiscal years ended September 30, 2010, and 2009. 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,
General and Administrative Expenses:
Selling,
General and Administrative (SG&A) expenses decreased by ($2,021,756) during
the fiscal year ended September 30, 2010 to $1,470,731 as compared to $3,492,487
for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2009. The decreases in SG&A expenses
were related primarily to closing the Company’s Oregon and Colorado facilities,
and a general reduction to salaries and operating expenses under the Company’s
re-focused plan of operations.We anticipate that expenditures associated with
the development and sales of our thin-film solar manufacturing technologies will
increase SG&A expenditures in the future. However, we plan to offer our
technology as a licensable process to existing solar product manufacturers which
we anticipate will mitigate future expenditures that would normally be
associated with our need to establish direct large scale manufacturing
capabilities and the associated facility infrastructure.
15
Research
and Development:
Our
current research and development plans include the use of third party equipment
vendors whose equipment we plan to use as part of our integrated CIGSolar™
manufacturing system. These vendors assist with access to equipment and
technologies that we are working to customize for use in our manufacturing
processes. This approach to research and development has allowed expenses to
decrease by $65,885 during the fiscal year ended September 30, 2010 to $292,999
as compared to $358,884 for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2009. We
anticipate that future R&D expense will increase as we establish each of the
various system capabilities within our own facilities for use in continued
process improvement, marketing efforts, and systems support.
Net
Loss:
For the
fiscal year ended September 30, 2010, our net loss was ($2,210,603) as compared
to a net loss of ($10,634,133) for the fiscal year ended September 30,
2009. This decrease in Net Loss of $(8,423,530) compared to the
fiscal year ended September 30, 2009 was primarily due to a decrease in the
impairment of assets expense compared to the prior fiscal years impairment and
write down of assets, which resulted in an expense of $6,943,990. Also, the
decrease in net loss was due to the Company’s overall decrease in operating
expenses. 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
We had a
workingcapital deficit at September 30, 2010 of $(220,978), as compared to a
working capital of $517,387 as of September 30, 2009. The decrease in working
capital was the result of a decrease in prepaid expenses, and an increase in
accounts payable. There were no revenue producing activities for the fiscal year
ended September 30, 2010.
Cash flow
used by operating activities was $(1,347,395) for the fiscal year ended
September 30, 2010, as compared to cash flow used by operating activities of
($2,862,327) for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2009. The decrease in cash
flow used of $(1,514,932) by operating activities was primarily due to a
decrease in operating net loss and prepaid expenses.
Cash flow
provided by investing activities was $14,100 for the fiscal year ended September
30, 2010, as compared to cash flow used in investing activities of $(16,174)
during the fiscal year ended September 30, 2009. The net increase in investing
activities was primarily due to proceeds received of $244,100 from the sale of
assets, and the purchase of equipment in the amount of $(230,000), compared to
purchasing fixed assets of $(16,174) in the prior fiscal year.
Cash flow
provided by financing activities was $1,003,000 for the fiscal year ended
September 30, 2010, as compared to cash provided by financing activities of
$1,020,000 during the fiscal year ended September 30, 2009. The decrease in cash
flow provided by financing activities 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 will need toseek 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.
Item
7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
Our
products will be quoted for sale and licensure in United States dollars and as
our business development efforts progress we anticipate the sale and/or
licensure of our products to foreign entities. To the extent that we may be
exposed to foreign currency risks related to the rise and/or fall of foreign
currencies against the U.S. dollar we will report in United States
dollars.

9. Changes in and Disagreements on Accounting and Financial
Disclosure
Effective
as of July 17, 2009, the board of directors of the Company approved the
engagement of HJ Associates& Consultants, LLP (“HJ”) as its principal
independent registered public accounting firm to audit the Company’s financial
statements. During the Company’s two (2) most recent fiscal years, as well as
the subsequent interim period through the Effective Date, there were no
disagreements between the Company and HJ on any matter of accounting principles
or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedures,
which disagreements if not resolved to their satisfaction would have caused them
to make reference to the subject matter of the disagreement in connection with
HJ’s report. During the Company’s most recent two (2) fiscal years, as well as
the subsequent interim period through the Effective Date, HJ did not advise the
Company of any of the matters identified in Item 304(a)(v)(A) - (D) of
Regulation S-K.
Item
9A. Controls and Procedures
Disclosure
Controls and Procedures
Our Chief
Executive Officer and Chief Operating Officer, have evaluated the effectiveness
of our disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rules
13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of the end of the period
covered by this report. The evaluation included certain control areas in which
we have made, and are continuing to make, changes to improve and enhance
controls. A material weakness is a condition in which the design or operation of
one or more of the internal control components does not reduce to a relatively
low level the risk that misstatements caused by error or fraud in amounts that
would be material in relation to the financial statements being audited may
occur and not be detected within a timely period by employees in the normal
course of performing their assigned functions. Based on such evaluation, our
Chief Executive Officer and Chief Operating Officer have concluded that, as of
the end of such period, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective,
and we have discovered no material weakness.
Internal
Control over Financial Reporting
Management
is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control
structure and procedures over financial reporting (as defined in
Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f)) under the Exchange Act. The SEC rule making
for the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 Section 404 requires that a company's
internal controls over financial reporting be based upon a recognized internal
control framework. Our management conducted an assessment of the effectiveness
of our internal control over financial reporting as of September 30, 2010 based
on the framework set forth in Internal Control — Integrated Framework
issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission
(“COSO”) that has been modified to more appropriately reflect the current
limited operational scope of the Company as a Development Stage company. The
Company used the COSO guide - The Internal Control over Financial Reporting -
Guidance for Smaller Public Companies to implement the Company’s internal
control framework. Additionally, the limited scope of operations of the Company
means that traditional separation of duties controls are not used by the Company
as a result of the limited staffing within the Company. The Company relies on
alternative procedures to overcome this non-material control
weakness.
During
the Company's fiscal year ended September 30, 2010, management continued
revising the Company's internal and controls procedure document basing this
revision upon additional guidance for implementing the model framework created
by COSO as is appropriate to our operations and operations of smaller public
entities. This framework is entitled Internal Control-Integrated Framework. The
COSO Framework, which is the common shortened title, was published in 1992 and
has been updated, and we believe will satisfy the SEC requirements of Section
404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. As the Company expands operations,
additional staff will be added to implement separation of duties controls as
well.
Based on
that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Operating Officer
concluded that our internal control over financial reporting as of September 30,
2010 was effective. Internal control over financial
reporting cannot provide absolute assurance of achieving financial reporting
objectives because of its inherent limitations. Internal control over financial
reporting is a process that involves human diligence and compliance and is
subject to lapses in judgment and breakdowns resulting from human failures.
Because of such limitations, there is a risk that material misstatements may not
be prevented or detected on a timely basis by internal control over financial
reporting. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future
periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of
changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or
procedures may deteriorate.
Changes
in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
Except as
noted above, there have not been any changes in our internal control over
financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f)
under the Exchange Act) during our fourth fiscal quarter that have materially
affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control
over financial reporting.

REPORT
OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the
Board of Directors and Shareholders
XsunX,
Inc. (A Development Stage Company)
Alisa
Viejo, California
We have
audited the accompanying balance sheets of XsunX, Inc. (a development stage
company) as of September 30, 2010 and 2009, and the related statements of
operations, stockholders' equity, and cash flows for the years then ended and
for the period from February 25, 1997 (inception) to September 30,
2010. 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. 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. The
Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform an audit of its
internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of
internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit
procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of
expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control
over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also
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 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,
2010 and 2009, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the
years then ended and for the period from February 25, 1997 (inception) to
September 30, 2010, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting
principles.
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.

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
XsunX,
Inc. is developing and has begun marketing a hybrid manufacturing solution to
produce high performance Copper Indium Gallium (di) Selenide (CIGS) thin film
solar cells. Our patent pending system and processing technology,
which we call CIGSolar™, focuses on the mass production of individual thin-film
CIGS solar cells that match silicon solar cell dimensions and can be offered as
a non-toxic, high-efficiency and lowest-cost alternative to the use of silicon
solar cells. We intend to offer licenses for the use of the CIGSolar process
technology thereby generating revenue streams through licensing fees and
manufacturing royalties for the use of the technology.
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
year ended September 30, 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 year ended
September 30, 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
September30, 2010, and 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.

its estimated useful lives:

The
Company capitalizes property and equipment over $500. Property and equipment
under $500 are expensed in the year purchased.
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 years
ended September 30, 2010 and 2009 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.
Advertising
Advertising
costs are expensed as incurred. Total advertising costs were $8,515, and 11,340
for the years ended September 30, 2010, and 2009, respectively.
Research and
Development
Research
and development costs are expensed as incurred. Total research and development
costs were $292,999 and $358,884 for the years ended September 30, 2010, and
2009, 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.

INCOME
TAXES
|
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 2007.
At
September 30, 2010 and 2009, there were 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
period ended September 30, 2010, the Company did not recognize interest and
penalties.

DEFERRED
TAX BENEFIT
|
At
September 30, 2010, the Company had net operating loss carry-forwards of
approximately $18,174,700 that may be offset against future taxable income from
the year 2010 through 2030. No tax benefit has been reported in the September
30, 2010 financial statements since the potential tax benefit is offset by a
valuation allowance of the same amount.
The
income tax provision differs from the amount of income tax determined by
applying the U.S. federal and state income tax rate of 40% to pretax income from
continuing operations for the years ended September 30, 2010 and 2009 due to the
following:

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.
Net
deferred tax assets consist of the following components as of September 30, 2010

SALE
AND DISPOSITION OF ASSETS
|
On April
21, 2010 the Company received payment in the amount of $240,000 for an offer it
accepted on April 16, 2010 for the sale of an asset held for sale, plus certain
associated attendant assets. The assets consisted of certain vacuum deposition
equipment held for sale and used support systems no longer required under the
Company’s current business plan. During
the year ended September 30, 2010, the Company recognized an impairment loss of
$253,671 on assets disposed of due to the Company’s change in operations and
business development plans, which required closing the Oregon and Colorado
facilities. The assets impaired could no longer be used by the Company, and the
fair value of the assets were determined by their cost basis less any
accumulated depreciation.

PROMISSORY
NOTE
|
During
the year ended September 30, 2009, the Company converted accounts 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 are due September 1, 2011.
The interest expense for the years ended September 30, 2010 and 2009 was $45,721
and $4,303.

The
Company renewed its lease for the facility located in Aliso Viejo. The term of
the lease is for a twelve month period effective May 1, 2010, at a monthly rate

Contingency
On

equipment that had been cancelled by the Company. The Company never took
possession of the equipment, but did pay a restocking fee of $130,988. The
Company has retained counsel to aggressively defend the matter. The ultimate
outcome of this action cannot be readily determined at this time.
