For the year ended September 30, 2005, the Company had and continues to focus on the development and refinement of commercially appealing solar cell designs, proprietary manufacturing processes and facilities design that could be provided to its future licensees as turn-key solutions for the mass production of Power Glass(TM) thin films. A large part of the Company's capital was used for product development. However, this may begin to shift towards marketing, sales, and business development in this new fiscal year ending September 30, 2006.
GROWTH, REVENUE AND DISTRIBUTION PLAN
The Company intends to market its integrated manufacturing systems as turnkey solutions for the manufacture of its current and future PV thin films designs. The manufacturing systems will be sold to manufacturers as modular systems and licensed for use in the manufacture the Company's thin film designs. Manufacturers would in turn agree to manufacture and distribute the Company's PV thin films, or incorporate the thin film PV technology into their product manufacturing process as an "original equipment manufacturer" (OEM) and sell the finished product to their consumers. No licenses or contracts now exist with any manufacturer.
The Company intends to target customers who are developing their own technology platforms in which the manufacture of or the integration of its thin film solar cells could play an important role. The Company will offer non-exclusive manufacturing licenses and expects to earn a royalty on thin films manufactured. In selling the manufacturing equipment and licensing the technology to manufacturers, the Company reduces operating expenses and saves capital in plant, property and equipment. As a result, should the Company realize earnings, it intends to reinvest its retained earnings in R&D in an effort to continuously develop related new technologies that will help achieve sustainable competitive advantages for the Company.
MARKETING STRATEGY
The Company intends to enhance, promote and support the idea that XsunX manufacturing systems and thin film technologies present a compelling and efficient solution for the scalable manufacture of diverse photovoltaic thin films. In order to create a favorable environment for sales, the Company plans to undertake advertising and promotion efforts. These efforts may be outsourced and will require the services of an advertising relations firm. The Company plans to interview various firms and select those most capable of assisting us with comprehensive advertising and promotion plans. The Company intends to commence building and staffing its marketing department to accelerate these efforts in the first part of 2006. The Company has not yet finalized the potential costs of its marketing strategy.
The Company will invest in small test campaigns before committing to large promotions or marketing campaigns. The initial marketing strategy the Company will be to market to potential manufacturer partners in its target markets representing solar device manufactures, glass, and building materials manufacturers.
PLAN OF OPERATIONS
XsunX anticipates the 12-month capital operational requirements of the company to be $4,500,000 dollars. Since the reorganization of the Company on September 30, 2003 the Company has raised amounts necessary to finance operations through the placement of equity capital in the form of one or more private offering's of common stock to accredited investors.

The net proceeds from the placement of equity capital and the debentures will be applied to its 12 month plan of operations as follows: (i) approximately $550,000 will be used to pay costs associated with completion of product development of the Power Glass(R) product under its Phase III development plan, (ii) approximately $675,000 will be used to pay costs associated with the development of a 4-Terminal nano-crystalline solar cell patent for commercialization purposes, (iii) approximately $1,700,000 will be used for the manufacture of a marketable commercial scale manufacturing system, (iv) approximately $210,000 will be used for the engineering and adaptation of certain manufacturing devices and techniques to provide product manufacturing demonstration capabilities, (v) approximately $50,000 will be used to purchase testing and development equipment or expand existing facilities, (vi) approximately $100,000 will be used to pay for third party engineering, testing, and consulting services, (vii) approximately $485,000 will be used to pay salaries and general administrative costs, and for intellectual property protection, (viii) approximately $225,000 will be used to pay for sales and market development, general competitive research and publicity costs, and (v) approximately $505,000 will be used for general working capital.

Excluding this non-cash warrant expense in the comparative analysis between the periods results in an increase of $755,213 in normal and customary operational expenses for the period ending September 30, 2005 as compared to the same period 2004.
Primary sources for the increase to operating expense of $755,213 include: an increase of $371,930 in Research and Development activities totaling $501,423 as compared to $129,493 incurred for the same period in 2004, an increase of $109,773 in Public Relations activity totaling $116,413 as compared to activity totaling $6,640 for the same period in 2004, an increase of $35,900 in Salaries totaling $155,236 as compared to Salaries totaling $119,336 for the same period in 2004, an increase in consulting fees of $301,000 to $320,944 in the period in 2005 compared to $19,900 in the period in 2004, an increase of $80,046 in Legal and Accounting expenses totaling $107,249 as compared to Legal and Accounting totaling $27,203 for the same period in 2004, an increase of $115,000 for Loan Origination and Service fees as compared to $0 expenses for the same period in 2004, and an increase of $42,564 in General and Administrative expenses related to an increase in travel, advertising, depreciation and business development expenses.

Excluding this one time non-cash warrant expense, in the comparative analysis between the period's, results in an increase of $791,771 in net loss for the period ended September 30, 2005 as compared to the same period 2004. The net loss per share was less than $(0.02) for the twelve month period ended September 30, 2005 compared to ($.01) per share loss in the prior year.
