PART I

Item 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.

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.

Available Information

Our website address is www.xsunx.com. We make available on our website access to our Annual Report on Form 10-K, quarterly reports on Form 10-Q, current reports on Form 8-K and amendments to these reports that we have filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). The information found on our website is not part of this or any other report we file with, or furnish to, the SEC.

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.

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.

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.

As of the date of this Annual Report on Form 10-K, there are no unresolved staff comments regarding our previously filed periodic or current reports under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.

Item 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.

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 to the stock purchase agreement with LPC and the S-1 Registration Statement declared effective by the SEC on June 30, 2010, the Company has sold to Lincoln Park Capital Fund, LLC through September 30, 2010, approximately 5,556,808 shares for a total investment of $549,999.98 including the initial $500,000 and 5,000,000 shares.  These shares were sold at various pricing between $0.08 and $0.10 per share.  Subsequent to September 30, 2010, we have sold an additional 1,963,940 shares for $175,000.10 for a total of 7,520,748 shares issued and $725,000.08 cash received.  These shares were sold at various pricing between $0.08 and $0.09 per share.  Including 1,250,000 shares provided to LPC as financing inception commitment shares, and an additional 62,497 commitment shares issued pro rata as LPC has purchased additional shares this leaves 18,666,755 registered shares available for future sales pursuant to the effective S-1 Registration Statement.

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.

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.

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.

Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data

All financial information required by this Item is attached hereto at the end of this report beginning on page F-1 and is hereby incorporated by reference.

Item 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.

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 annual report.

Item 9B. Other Information

Reporting Persons are required by the SEC to furnish the Company with copies of all Section 16 Reports they file.  Based on its review of the copies of such forms received by it, or written representations from certain reporting persons, the Company believes that, during the fiscal year ended September 30, 2010, all filing requirements applicable to its officers, directors, and greater than ten-percent beneficial owners were complied with the exception that one report, covering an aggregate of onetransaction was not timely filed by the chief executive officer with the SEC via Form 4 or via year-end report on Form 5.

Code of Ethics

The Company’s board of directors adopted a Code of Ethics policy on January 7, 2008.

Item 11. Executive Compensation

Overview

We are a development stage Company and we rely on our board of directors to evaluate compensation and incentive offerings made by the Company as it applies to our executive officers, and efforts to attract and maintain qualified staff.

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.

Notes to Financial Statements
September 30, 2010 and 2009

 
1.
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.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

Property and Equipment
Property and equipment are stated at cost, and are depreciated using straight line over its estimated useful lives:

Leasehold improvements
Length of the lease
Computer software and equipment
3 Years
Furniture & fixtures
5 Years
Machinery & equipment
5 Years
 
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.

 
6. 
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 and 2009:

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.

8. 
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.

Legal Contingency
On September 21, 2010, the Company received notice of a claim filed by Billco Manufacturing Inc. requesting an additional payment of $340,568 for a piece of 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.
