BASIS
OF PRESENTATION
|
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.

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.

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

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.

successfully develop, manage or market its products and services, the Company
may not be able to attract or retain qualified executives and technology
personnel, the Company's products and services may become obsolete, government
regulation may hinder the Company's business, additional dilution in outstanding
stock ownership may be incurred due to the issuance of more shares, warrants and
stock options, or the exercise of warrants and stock options, and other risks
inherent in the Company's businesses.
The
Company undertakes no obligation to publicly revise these forward-looking
statements to reflect events or circumstances that arise after the date hereof.
Readers should carefully review the factors described in other documents the
Company files from time to time with the Securities and Exchange Commission,
including the Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q and Annual Reports on Form 10-K
filed by the Company and any Current Reports on Form 8-K filed by the

Management
believes the summary data 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

BUSINESS
OVERVIEW
In the
fiscal year ended September 30, 2009, XsunX modified its previous plans to
directly establish a solar module 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 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 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.
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.
RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS FOR THE SIX-MONTH PERIOD ENDED MARCH 31, 2010 COMPARED TO THE SAME
PERIOD IN 2010
Revenue:

and marketing expenses for the six month period ended March 31, 2010 were
$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.
Research and
Development:
Research
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.
13
On March 30, 2010, the Company entered into a purchase agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with Lincoln Park Capital, LLC (“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.
DEVELOPMENT
STAGE COMPANY
The
Company is currently working to transition from the development stage to the
implementation phase and as of the period ended March 31, 2010, did not have any
significant revenues. The transition to revenue recognition may exceed cash
generated from operations in the current and future periods. 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. If additional
financing is not available or not available on terms acceptable to us, our
ability to fund our operations, maintain our research and development efforts
necessary to complete the development of marketable products 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
which would have a material adverse affect on our business.
While we
have been able to raise capital in a series of equity and debt offerings in the
past 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.
Irrespective
of whether the Company's cash assets prove to be inadequate to meet the
Company's operational needs, the Company might seek to compensate providers of
services by issuances of stock in lieu of cash.

SHEET ARRANGEMENTS
None
ITEM 3.
QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
We do not
have any market risk sensitive instruments. Since all operations are in U.S.
dollar denominated accounts, we do not have foreign currency risk. Our operating
costs are reported in U.S. dollars.
The
Company does not invest in term financial products or instruments or derivatives
involving risk other than money market accounts, which fluctuate with interest
rates at market.
ITEM 4T. CONTROLS
AND PROCEDURES
The
Company maintains disclosure controls and procedures and internal controls to
ensure that information required to be disclosed in the Company’s filings under
the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, is recorded, processed,
summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and
forms. 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 or reviewed 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.
Changes in Internal Control over
Financial Reporting
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 the three months ended March 31, 2010 that have materially affected, or
are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial
reporting.
14
PART
II - OTHER INFORMATION
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 legal
proceedings or claims, other than ordinary routine litigation incidental to our
business, that we believe will have, individually or in the aggregate, a
material affect on our business, financial condition or operating
results.
ITEM
1A. RISK FACTORS
There are
no material changes from the risk factors previously disclosed in the
Registrant’s Form 10-K filed on January 13, 2010.
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 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
three months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009 was $(635,943) and $(679,026),
respectively. Net cash used for operations was $(656,272) and $(562,936) for the
six months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively. From inception through
March 31, 2010, we had an accumulated deficit of $(32,898,289).
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. 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.
As
discussed in the “Liquidity and Capital Resources” section herein above, on
March 30, 2010, we entered into a Purchase Agreement with LPC whereby LPC agreed
to purchase up to an aggregate of $5,000,000 of our common stock (referred to
herein as “Purchase Shares”). Pursuant to the terms of the Purchase
Agreement, LPC purchased an initial amount of $500,000 of such 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 (referred to herein as 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.
15
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.
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 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 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.
16
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.
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.
17
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
quarterly 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 temporary rules of the Securities
and Exchange Commission that permit the Company to provide only management's
report in this quarterly 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. In
addition, rules may be adopted by the SEC, pursuant to Section 404 of the
Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 that will require annual assessment of our internal
control over financial reporting, and attestation of our assessment by our
independent registered public accountants. The attestation process by our
independent registered public accountants will be new and we may encounter
problems or delays in completing the implementation of any requested
improvements and receiving an attestation of our assessment by our independent
registered public accountants. If we cannot assess our internal control over
financial reporting as effective, or our independent registered public
accountants are unable to provide an unqualified attestation report on such
assessment, 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 it’s 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.
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.
18
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;
|
|
·
|
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.
