EXPLANATORY NOTE

 
Between October 17, 2006 and February 27, 2007 Sionix Corporation issued 25 secured convertible promissory notes for total proceeds to the Company of $750,000 (“Convertible Notes 1”). Convertible Notes 1 could be converted into shares of the Company’s common stock at a conversion price of $0.05 per share. Convertible Notes 1 contained a provision that would automatically adjust the conversion price if equity securities or instruments convertible into equity securities were issued at a conversion price less than $0.05.
 
On June 6, 2007, the Company issued 5 convertible promissory notes for a total of $86,000 (“Convertible Notes 2”).  No warrants were issued in connection with Convertible Notes 2. Convertible Notes 2 mature on December 31, 2008, and are convertible into common stock at $0.01 per share.
 
As a result of the issuance of Convertible Notes 2, the conversion price for Convertible Notes 1 was adjusted down from $0.05 to $0.01.  The decrease in the conversion price increased the potential dilutive shares from 15,000,000 to 75,000,000, and this subsequently increased the total outstanding and potential dilutive shares over the authorized common share limit of 150,000,000.  Because there were insufficient authorized shares to fulfill all potential conversions, the Company should have classified all potentially dilutive securities as derivative liabilities as of June 6, 2007.  The Company researched its debt and equity instruments and determined that the potentially dilutive securities are as follows:
 
·  
2001 Executive Officers Stock Option Plan
·  
Advisory Board Compensation
·  
Warrants Related to 2004 Stock Purchase Agreement
·  
Convertible Notes 1
·  
Convertible Notes 2
·  
Subordinated Convertible Notes 3
·  
Warrants related to Subordinated Convertible Notes 3

As a result of these transactions, we are filing amendment number 1 (“Amendment 1”) to our Form 10-K (the “Original Report”) that was originally filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on January 13, 2009 for the year ended September 30, 2008.

The primary purpose of this Amendment 1 is to disclose the restatement of our financial statements for the year ended September 30, 2008 and cumulative inception to date operations for September 30, 2008.  A complete discussion of the restatement is included in the section of this Amendment 1 titled “Management’s Discussion and Analysis or Plan of Operation” and in Note 20 to our financial statements for the period ended September 30, 2008.

We have also amended Item 1A., to add risk factors relating to our failure to maintain effective internal control over financial reporting in accordance with Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002.

This Amendment 1 includes all of the information contained in the Original Report, and we have made no attempt in this Amendment to modify or update the disclosures presented in the Original Report, except as identified.
 
The disclosures in this Amendment continue to speak as of the date of the Original Report, and do not reflect events occurring after the filing of the Original Report.  Accordingly, this Amendment 1 should be read in conjunction with our other filings made with the SEC subsequent to the filing of the Original Report, including any amendments to those filings.  The filing of this Amendment 1 shall not be deemed to be an admission that the Original Report, when made, included any untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state a material fact necessary to make a statement not misleading.

During the period ended September 30, 2008, certain investors converted $151,512 of convertible notes into 3,787,792 common shares at $0.04 per share; however, the conversion rate should have been $0.01.  At September 30, 2008, the Company owes an additional 11,363,388 shares to the investors.  The Company recorded a liability of $1,590,874 which is recorded in accrued expenses in the accompanying financial statements.  The change in the fair value of the shares will be recorded as a change in fair value of beneficial conversion liability.

PART I

ITEM 1. 
DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS.

    We design and develop turn-key stand-alone water treatment systems intended for municipalities (both potable and wastewater), industry (both make-up water and wastewater), emergency response, military and small residential communities.  We were initially incorporated in Utah in 1996.  We reincorporated in Nevada in 2003.  As of August 1, 2008, our executive offices and principal operations are located at 3880 E. Eagle Dr., Anaheim, California 92807.  Our telephone number is (714) 678-1000, and our website is located at www.sionix.com.

The Water Purification Industry
 
INDUSTRY BACKGROUND.  The water purification industry is highly fragmented, consisting of many companies involved in various capacities, including companies that design fully integrated systems for processing millions of gallons of water for municipal, industrial, and commercial applications.  Demand for water purification has continued to grow due to economic expansion, population growth, scarcity of usable water, concerns about water quality and regulatory requirements.  Drinking water, regardless of its source, may contain impurities that can affect the health of those who consume it.  Although municipal agencies and water utilities in the United States are required to provide drinking water that complies with the U.S. Safe Drinking Water Act, the water supplied to homes and businesses from municipalities and utilities may contain high levels of bacteria, toxins, parasites and human and animal-health pharmaceuticals, as well as high levels of chlorine used to eliminate contaminants.  The quality of drinking water outside the United States and other industrialized countries is generally much worse, with high levels of contaminants and often only rudimentary purification systems.  In the industrialized world, water quality is often compromised by pollution, aging municipal water systems, and contaminated wells and surface water.  In addition, the specter of terrorism directed at intentional contamination of water supplies has heightened awareness of the importance of reliable and secure water purification.  The importance of effective water treatment is also critical from an economic standpoint, as health concerns and impure water can impair consumer confidence in food products.  Discharge of impaired waters to the environment can further degrade the earth's water and violate environmental laws, with the possibility of significant fines and penalties from regulatory agencies.
 
There are over 200,000 public rural water districts in the United States.  The great majority of these are considered small to medium-sized public water systems, which support populations of fewer than 10,000 people.  A substantial portion of these are in violation of the Safe Drinking Water Act at any given time.  This problem is expected to worsen as more stringent EPA rules are implemented for small public water systems.  Substantial expenditures will be needed in coming years for repair, rehabilitation, operation, and maintenance of the water and wastewater treatment infrastructure.  We believe that water districts using conventional sand-anthracite filters will be unable to comply with the Clean Water Act without massive installations of on-site chemical filter aids and disinfection equipment, such as ozone or ultraviolet.  On a worldwide level, water supply issues are viewed by many as the next global crisis; while the quantity of available fresh water is relatively fixed, the world population and demand for clean water is rapidly increasing.
 
The market for the treatment and purification of drinking water and the treatment, recycling and reuse of wastewater has shown significant growth as world demand for water of specified quality continues to increase and as regulations limiting waste discharges to the environment continue to mount.  In addition, urbanization in the third world and the spread of agricultural activities has increased the demand for public water systems.
 
EXISTING PURIFICATION SYSTEMS.  Until the early twentieth century, municipal water supplies consisted of flowing water directly from the source to the end user with little or no processing.  In the late 19th and early 20th century, most large municipal water systems instituted a form of filtration called “slow sand filtration” to enhance the clarity and esthetics of delivered waters.  These municipal water filtration systems however were extremely large plants that are typically excavated into the landscape of the facility.  The surface area required for these filters could vary widely depending on the input quality of the water, but generally they require extremely large areas, which are referred to as “footprints”.

In a typical treatment facility, the first step adds to the raw incoming water a substance which causes tiny, sticky particles (called “floc”) to form. Floc attracts dirt and other particles suspended in the water.  This process of coagulation results in the heavy particles of dirt and floc clumping together and falling to the bottom.  These heavier particles form sediment which is siphoned off, leaving the clearer water, which passes on to filtration.  The most common filtration method is known as “slow sand” or sand-anthracite, in which the water flows into large shallow beds and passes down through layers of sand, gravel and charcoal.  The final process is disinfection, which is intended to kill bacteria or other microorganisms left in the water and leave a residual to keep the water safe through the delivery pipes to the customer.  Chlorine is the most commonly employed disinfectant, although chloramine, ozone, and ultraviolet (UV) are also used.

The current trend in water filtration, due to the higher demands for water and the reduction in clean or relatively clean source waters, is to clarify and heavily filter all municipal water supplies.  Smaller municipalities and water districts will also be required to meet the added water quality goals of the larger systems and will require the infrastructure to do so.

While “slow sand” filtration is by far the most common treatment method used in the United States, it has serious drawbacks.  The treatment facilities occupy large tracts of land.  The filtration beds are large, shallow in-ground concrete structures, often hundreds of feet long to accommodate large volumes of water.  The water being filtered must remain in these beds for a comparatively long-time (known as “residence time”) in order for low density materials to settle out.  The sand and charcoal filtering medium rapidly becomes plugged and clogged.  The bed must then be taken off-line and back-flushed, which uses large amounts of water - water which becomes contaminated and is therefore wasted.  Additional settling ponds are necessary to “de-water” this waste by evaporation so that the dried solids may be disposed of in an environmentally safe (but costly) method.

The average life expectancy of a treatment plant is about 20 years, after which the plant must be extensively renovated.  Population growth necessitates enlarging old facilities or building new ones, occupying still more valuable land.  This process requires lengthy environmental impact studies, long design periods, and complex financing programs to fund costly construction budgets, as lead times usually stretch out for years.

Aside from cost and logistical issues, however, there are many pathogens resistant to chlorine or small enough to pass through the existing methods of filtration.  Illnesses such as hepatitis, gastroenteritis and Legionnaire's Disease, as well as increasingly pervasive chemical contaminants, have become more common.  One of the more difficult of these problems is monitoring and providing a barrier against microscopic protozoan parasites such as cryptosporidium (3-4 microns in size) and giardia lamblia oocysts (5-7 microns).  These common organisms exist naturally in the digestive systems of livestock and wild animals, and end up in lakes and streams.  They have caused severe illness in millions of people in the United States.  Conventional “slow sand” water filtration beds, used in most of the nation's public water districts, will not filter out these parasites - the best treatment facilities are only able to remove particles larger than 10-15 microns.

In recent years, there have been several serious public health emergencies caused by microbes breaking through the filtration barrier in treatment facilities.  When ingested, they can cause diarrhea, flu-like symptoms and dehydration.  In persons with immune system impairment, the illness can be life-threatening.  In 1993, over 400,000 people in Milwaukee, Wisconsin became ill and about 100 people died during a failure in the drinking water filtration system.

Most surface water bodies in the United States, many of which supply drinking water, are contaminated with these organisms.  They are extremely resistant to disinfection, and increasing disinfectant levels in the attempt to kill them creates a new set of problems.  Disinfectants such as chlorine can react with organic matter in the water to form new chemicals known as “disinfection byproducts”.  These byproducts, of which trihalomethanes (THM) are the most common, are thought to be health-threatening and possibly cancer-causing.  The Safe Drinking Water Act regulations address minimum acceptable levels of these byproducts, including THMs.  Therefore, physical removal of the organisms from the water is vitally important to their control.

The challenge of removing organic matter from water has been at the crux of water treatment since antiquity.  Organic matter causes water to be cloudy, or turbid.  High levels of turbidity can indicate the presence of pathogens and signal that the filtration process is not working effectively.  The presence of high levels of organic matter makes disinfection more difficult and clogs filter media, causing long back-flush cycles, which in turn increases the volume of back-flush waste-water.  In a typical treatment plant, this back-flush water can account for up to 20 percent of the raw water volume flowing through the facility.

Other filtration methods, such as reverse osmosis and activated charcoal, may be required to remove contaminants such as organic and inorganic chemicals, salts, color, odors, and viruses.  However, they too are clogged quickly by organic particles in the water.  These filter media are comparatively expensive, and frequent back-flush cycles drastically shorten filter life, thereby increasing the cost of treatment.

Products and Technology

OUR BUSINESS STRATEGY.  Our business is to develop advanced water treatment technology for public and private potable drinking water systems and wastewater treatment systems, as well as industrial systems, in order to address these issues.  We have initially targeted (1) small to medium public and private water districts that provide communities with drinking water or sewage treatment service and (2) water reclamation systems of commercial-industrial clients that create and dispose of contaminated wastewater.

DISSOLVED AIR FLOTATION.  Dissolved air flotation, or DAF, has been used in water and wastewater treatment for more than eighty years, primarily in Europe.  Some of the first systems installed in the 1920s are still in operation in Scandinavia.  The DAF method involves injecting microscopic bubbles of air under pressure into the water being treated.  The air molecules bond with organic matter in the water, and because of their lightness, the clumps float to the surface, where they are skimmed away.  Over the eight decades this technology has been utilized, various improvements have been made in the technology.  Until recently, it has not been utilized widely in the United States, and is used primarily for wastewater treatment.

SIONIX “ELIXIR” WATER TREATMENT SYSTEMS.  The dissolved air flotation system we developed, which employs patented technology, removes more than 99.95+ percent of the organic particles in water, and provides a barrier against microbial contaminants such as cryptosporidium and giardia lamblia.  Each Elixir Water Treatment System is a self-contained water treatment system or pre-treatment process using ordinary air, with minimal chemical flocculent aids.  Our goal is to provide effective, practical and economical solutions to problems caused by pollution and toxic chemicals that seriously threaten public health and our environment.  Our systems significantly reduce the risk of bacterial or parasitic contamination, particularly cryptosporidium, giardia, and e-coli, with minimal disinfecting by-products.  Our systems are designed for quick installation, easy access for simple maintenance and are cost-effective for even the smallest water utilities or commercial applications.  This technology is designed to support public water treatment plants, sewage treatment plants, water reclamation facilities, commercial air conditioning cooling towers, and emergency water systems for floods, earthquakes and other natural disasters.  Our system occupies a small footprint, is self-contained and portable.

Our Elixir system utilizes and refines DAF technology to provide a pre-treatment process using ordinary oxygen that we believe is highly efficient.  The water is treated by saturating recirculated post-filter water with excess dissolved air, and injecting this excess air in the form of microscopic bubbles in a DAF particle separator.  Pressurized water can hold an excess amount of dissolved air and forms microscopic bubbles when injected into water, which has a lower pressure.  A booster pump recirculates a small amount (approximately 10%) of the post-filtered water through the dissolved air-saturation system.  Oxygen and nitrogen molecules are transferred directly into the recirculated high-pressure water without forming air bubbles.  This method of transferring air into water is 100% efficient, and reduces the amount of energy required to saturate recirculated water with excess dissolved air.  The Elixir provides a denser concentration of white water bubbles.  This process requires less energy than a conventional system, and uses a fraction of the floor space.

Our system can help ordinary filters meet Safe Drinking Water Act regulations and we believe that our system is effective in eliminating potentially cancer-causing disinfection by-product precursors while reducing the risk of bacterial or parasitic contamination, particularly THM, cryptosporidium and giardia.

By significantly reducing turbidity, the Elixir system remediates against disinfection byproducts such as THM.  Used in conjunction with filtration or disinfection technology which may be required by specific raw water conditions, it reduces back-flushing cycle times, thereby lengthening the life of post-DAF equipment.

Each of our systems is completely modular, and we plan to customize each system installation with filtration and disinfection options appropriate for the user.  The entire unit is built into a standard thirty-foot or forty-foot ISO transportable container, making it easy to move by truck, train, plane, helicopter, or ship.  Standard configuration includes a small control and testing laboratory located in the front of the container.  The addition of a generator module makes the system self-powered.  The customer can operate and control the entire system from a remote site via hardwired or wireless communications.  A comprehensive service and maintenance program (which will be part of all equipment leases) includes a standard upgrade path.

A single unit should produce a minimum of 225 gallons of potable water per minute (about 325,000 gallons, or one acre-foot, per day), enough for a community of 2,400 people and its infrastructure - which is about 500-600 homes in the United States.  It is important to note that per capita usage of water in the United States is among the highest in the world.  Two or more units can be ganged together for increased capacity.

Our systems are ideal for small to medium-sized potable water treatment utilities.  They serve equally well in commercial/industrial uses where incoming process water must be treated to high levels of purity, or wastewater must be decontaminated before discharge to the environment.  The products can also address water quality issues faced by commercial and industrial facilities that process water or produce toxic wastewater, such as food and beverage processing plants, dairy products facilities, and fresh water aquaculture installations, such as fish farms.

In general, water districts using sand-anthracite filters cannot meet the EPA Surface Water Treatment rules without a massive increase in on-site chemical filter-aids, additional filtering and the installation of ozone or other disinfection equipment.  Plant operators must continually test raw influent water to adjust chemical filter aid dosage properly.  Chemical and metal (alum) filter-aids increase sludge volume and landfill disposal problems.

Our systems include automatic computer controls to optimize ozone concentration levels and reduce monthly energy costs.  Higher ozone contact concentration levels using smaller sized generators are possible if most of the algae are removed first by DAF.  Extended contact time increases collision rate of ionized ozone molecules with negatively charged organic suspended particles.  By utilizing the Elixir to pre-treat the feedwater, less energy is required to create the appropriate amount of ozone.  By creating a turbulent flow of water and gas within the mixing chamber, we have achieved a much higher saturation with less ozone (and a minimum of excess ozone) than in other mixing methods.

The Elixir system is assembled in a steel container which is sealed, thus preventing tampering or incursion by bio-terrorism or airborne contaminants. Should catastrophic damage be incurred, a replacement unit may be installed within a few days rather than many months or years with in-ground systems.

In November 2006 we entered into an oral agreement with the Serrano Water District in Orange County, California to install an Elixir system at the Villa Park Dam (near Anaheim, California) for testing of the system by processing flood water residue behind the dam.  Under our arrangement, scientists and engineers from California State University at Fullerton are coordinating with the Serrano Water District to trace and record the cleaning efficiency for the various contaminants in the water (thought to be iron, manganese and algae) against the flow rate capacity of the Elixir system.  We designed the system placed at the dam site for research purposes.  It contains a variety of sampling sites within the system to extract and test water outside the system, as well as a suite of internal water quality measurement instruments to monitor the cleaning process.

Villa Park Dam is operated by Orange County Flood Control and is designed to check the flow of flood waters from several small watersheds in the northern Santa Ana Mountains.  The dam is capable of impounding up to 15,000 acre-feet of water (4.9 billion gallons), although its purpose is to check and safely release the waters during periods of heavy rainfall into Santiago Creek, where it is diverted to groundwater recharge ponds or allowed to discharge to the ocean.  Serrano Water District has rights to 3,000 acre-feet of water from the impoundment pool.  Until now, impounded waters have been released to flow downstream during storms.  However, under the project, rain and other water will flow down creeks and collect to form a useable pool of water behind the dam.  This water slowly degrades during the summer and has been shown to be very septic and has exceptionally high values of iron and manganese.  This water has been prohibitively expensive to treat for drinking water.

In May 2007 we placed an Elixir system at the dam and began processing runoff water.  We began a thorough evaluation of every component in the system during this testing period.  Data are being used to evaluate the baseline water quality to be treated, as part of an ongoing water collection and analysis study of the Elixir water treatment system.  Several testing and research programs to evaluate the treatment system have been implemented and will continue throughout the remainder of 2009.

During the next twenty-four months we plan to continue our testing program and demonstrate the ELIXIR water treatment system to potential clients at the Villa Park Dam under our arrangement with the Serrano Water District.  We believe that this operation will help us market the ELIXIR system.  We plan to use these demonstrations as a model for operation and installation.  Once we have sufficient financing, we plan to engage in promotional activities in connection with the operation of the unit, including media exposure and access to other public agencies and potential private customers.  With the successful operation of the ELIXIR system, we believe we will begin to receive orders for units.  We have demonstrated this unit to over fifty prospective clients.

Marketing and Customers

THE MARKET.  The potable water market includes residential, commercial, and food service customers.  Demand is driven both by consumer desire to improve the taste and quality of their drinking water and by the expanded concern of regulatory agencies.  According to industry analysts, water safety concerns not only contributed to growth in the water filtration market, but also helped drive the growth of consumer bottled water per capital consumption from 1.6 gallons in 1976 to 27.6 gallons in 2006, representing sales of approximately $10.8 billion.

According to industry data, it is estimated that one billion people in the world do not have safe drinking water.  There is significant market potential in Asian, Pacific and Latin American countries, where the quality of drinking water has been found to be severely deficient in several regions.
 
In the United States, we initially plan to target the established base of small to medium water providers, as well as industrial users (such as the dairy industry, meat and poultry producers, cruise ship operators, food and beverage processors, pharmaceuticals, cooling tower manufacturers and oil and gas producers) and disaster relief agencies with a need for a clean and consistent water supply.  Outside the United States, we plan to market principally to local water systems and international relief organizations.

Our marketing efforts emphasize that our products are easily expandable and upgradable; for example, adding ozone and microfiltration equipment to a DAF unit is similar to adding a new hard drive to a personal computer.  Each piece of equipment comes with state-of-the-art telemetry and wet-chemistry monitoring that expands as the system does.  We plan to provide lease financing for all of our products, not only making it easy for a customer to acquire the equipment, but also guaranteeing that the customer will always have access to any refinements and improvements made to the product.

Pilot study requirements and potential adverse environmental effects can generally be more easily addressed with our prepackaged plant approach.  Our initial approach to the market place is to supply the best of practice process for the largest number of water types encountered.  The following is a brief description of the types of customers we intend to market to:

DOMESTIC WATER UTILITIES.  There are approximately 197,060 public rural water districts in the United States.  The great majority of these are considered small to medium-sized public water systems, which support populations of fewer than 10,000 people.  We believe that the Elixir system can provide a comprehensive solution for these utilities.  It occupies a small footprint and is self-contained and portable.  Equally important, in most cases, it does not require costly and time consuming environmental studies.

INDUSTRIAL WASTEWATER PURIFICATION.  Many industries use water in their manufacturing processes which results in contamination.  This wastewater must be treated and purified before it can be reused or released into the ocean or streams.  Principal markets are pharmaceutical manufacturers, producers of paper products, the dairy industry, and silicon chip manufacturers.  The small footprint, low cost, and predictably efficient output of the Elixir system make it an excellent choice for customers in these markets.

FOOD AND BEVERAGE INDUSTRY.  The production of beer and wine, soft drinks, and food products require water of a specific purity that must be controlled and monitored as part of the production process. The food service industry has an increasing need for consistent global product quality. Food service includes water used for fountain beverages, steam ovens, coffee and tea.

HEALTHCARE INDUSTRY.  Hospitals require clean, uncontaminated water for their normal day-to-day operations.  They also produce contaminated water that may require treatment before being reused or released.  The Elixir system will process waste-water to a specific and controlled purity.  The systems can be used to filter water going into or coming out of use.  In such exacting situations, the customer may be able to reuse contaminated water or ensure decontamination before discharge.

WASTEWATER UTILITIES (SEWAGE TREATMENT).  Sewage overflows are a major problem in many communities.  The unit can function as a cost-effective emergency alternative to mitigate the problem of overflows.

THIRD-WORLD MARKETS.  In addition to the domestic market, fast spreading urbanization in third-world countries has created a growing demand for public water systems.  Most of the fatal waterborne illnesses occur in these countries.  Industrial and agricultural contamination of water supplies is epidemic because environmental controls are neither adequate nor well enforced.

EMERGENCIES AND NATURAL DISASTERS.  During natural disasters such as earthquakes, floods, hurricanes, and tornadoes, it is the role of the National Guard and the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) to assist local authorities with emergency services.  Damage to local utilities can disrupt the drinking water supply and cause the failure of wastewater (sewage) treatment plants.  The Elixir system can help address both of these problems.  The system is completely self-contained, can be easily transported from place to place, is highly efficient, and can be equipped with its own power package.

DESALINIZATION.  Reverse osmosis (RO) is among the most efficient desalinization processes available today.  An RO desalinization system requires prefiltration to reduce clogging of the filter membrane by organic matter.  Placed in front of an RO filter unit in a desalinization system, the Elixir unit will greatly lengthen the time between costly back-flushes and prolong the life of the RO filters.

MARKETING METHODS.  We plan to market our products through participation in industry groups, selected advertising in specialized publications, trade shows, and direct mail.  Initially we intend to utilize in-house marketing in conjunction with outsourced marketing consultants and national and international distributorships.

Patents

We hold 8 U.S. patents on technology incorporated into the Elixir system and related components, with an additional 2 patents pending.  Our patents cover process, system and waste handling, an automatic backflushing system using air pressure to activate the valves, the ozone mixing system, and the inline wet-chemistry water quality monitoring system.  The extent to which patents provide a commercial advantage, or inhibit the development of competing products, varies.  We also rely on common law concepts of confidentiality and trade secrets.

Competition

Due to the economic barriers created by the investment necessary to tool a manufacturing facility and employ the personnel necessary to develop and sell the equipment, competition in the water purification and filtration industry may grow slowly.  However, our products must compete with water filtration and purification equipment produced by companies that are more established than we are and have significantly greater resources than we have, such as General Electric Co., Siemens Water Technologies and Cuno Incorporated.  We also compete with large architectural/engineering firms that design and build water treatment plants and wastewater facilities and with producers of new technologies for water filtration.  Competitive factors include system effectiveness, operational cost and practicality of application, pilot study requirements and potential adverse environmental effects.  In competing in this marketplace, we have to address the conservative nature of public water agencies and fiscal constraints on the installation of new systems and technologies.  We do not represent a significant presence in the water treatment industry.

Regulatory Matters

Process water treatment plants and wastewater plants must comply with clean water standards set by the Environmental Protection Agency under the authority of the Clean Water Act and standards set by states and local communities.  In many jurisdictions, including the United States, because process water treatment facilities and wastewater treatment systems require permits from environmental regulatory agencies, delays in permitting could cause delays in construction or usage of the systems by prospective customers.

In 1974, the Safe Drinking Water Act (SDWA) was passed.  It empowered the EPA to set maximum levels of contamination allowable for health-threatening microbes, chemicals, and other substances which could find their way into drinking water systems, and gave the agency the power to delegate enforcement.

By 1986, Congress was dissatisfied with the speed with which the EPA was regulating and enforcing contaminant limits.  The SDWA revision that year set rigid timetables for establishing new standards and ordered water systems to monitor their supplies for many substances not yet regulated by EPA standards.

Additionally, it limited polluting activities near public groundwater wells used as drinking water sources - an acknowledgment of the growing threat to underground water supplies.  It named 83 contaminants and set out a program for adding 25 more every 3 years, as well as specifying the “best available technology” for treating each contaminant.
 

 
10

 

 
The timetable for imposing these regulations was rigid and tended to treat all contaminants as equally dangerous, regardless of relative risk. The cost to water districts for monitoring compliance became a significant burden, especially to small or medium-sized districts. The 1986 law authorized the EPA to cover 75 percent of state administrative costs, but in actuality, only about 35 percent was funded.

Congress updated the SDWA again in 1996, improving on the existing regulations in two significant ways. First, they changed the focus of contaminant regulations to reflect the risk of adverse health effects, the rate of occurrence of the contaminant in public water systems, and the estimated reduction in health risk resulting from regulation. Along with this, a thorough cost-benefit analysis must be performed by the EPA, with public health protection the primary basis for determining the level at which drinking water standards are set. Second, states were given greater flexibility to implement the standards while arriving at the same level of public health protection. In addition, a revolving loan fund was established to help districts build necessary improvements to their systems.

Research and Development

Research and development expenses for the year ended September 30, 2008 were $1,060,933 while research and development expenses for the year ended September 30, 2007 were $526,466.  Research and development consists of fine-tuning the Elixir system for customer requirements, and making adjustments based on testing results.  Our policy is to capitalize only the direct costs associated with tooling for new products.  All other costs, including salaries and wages of employees included in research and development, are expensed as incurred.

Manufacturing and Raw Materials

We established our manufacturing and research and development facility in Anaheim, California to commence production of the ELIXIR water treatment systems.  For those parts to be supplied by outside sources, we plan to specify parts from multiple sources for independence from manufacturers and distributors.  Raw materials to be used will include bronze, brass, cast iron, steel, PVC and plastic, and are available from multiple sources.

Employees

We have nine full-time employees, none of whom are covered by any collective bargaining agreement. The Company considers its relationship with its employees to be good.

ITEM 1A. 
RISK FACTORS.

In addition to the factors discussed elsewhere in this report, the following risks and uncertainties could materially adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.  Additional risks and uncertainties not presently known to us or that we currently deem immaterial also may impair our business operations and financial condition.

We have never generated any revenues.

We have been in business for more than ten years and never generated any revenues from operations.  We have been in the development stage since inception, and although we have received an order for two water treatment systems, revenue from these systems has not been recognized.  All of our working capital has been generated by sales of securities and loans.
 

 
11

 

 
We have a history of operating losses, which may continue.

We have a history of losses and may continue to incur operating and net losses for the foreseeable future. As of September 30, 2008 our accumulated deficit was $33,914,735 although we had net income of $15,550,391 for the year ended September 30, 2009.    We have not achieved profitability on a quarterly or on an annual basis.  We may not be able to generate revenues or reach a level of revenue to achieve profitability.

Failure to maintain effective internal control over financial reporting in accordance with Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 may result in actions filed against us by regulatory agencies or in a reduction in the price of our common stock.

We are required to maintain effective internal control over financial reporting under the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and related regulations.  Any material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting that needs to be addressed, or disclosure of a material weakness in management’s assessment of internal control over financial reporting, may reduce the price of our common shares because investors may lose confidence in our financial reporting.  Our failure to maintain effective internal control over financial reporting could also lead to actions being filed against us by regulatory agencies.

In connection with the restatement of our consolidated financial statements for the years ended September 30, 2007 and 2008, we identified weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting that were material weaknesses as defined by standards established by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board.  The deficiencies related to our lack of a sufficient number of internal personnel possessing the appropriate knowledge, experience and training in applying US GAAP and in reporting financial information in accordance with the requirements of the SEC and our lack of an audit committee to oversee our accounting and financial reporting processes, as well as other matters.  (See the discussion of our Controls and Procedures at Item 8A of this Amendment No. 1.)  We cannot assure you that our remediation of our internal control over financial reporting relating to the identified material weaknesses will establish the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting or that we will not be subject to material weaknesses in the future.

The restatement of our financial statements may result in litigation or government enforcement actions.  Any such action would likely harm our business, financial condition and results of operations.

We have restated our financial statements and other financial information for the year ended September 30, 2007,  for certain interim periods following September 30, 2007 and for September 2008.  The restatement of our financial statements may expose us to risks associated with litigation, regulatory proceedings and government enforcement actions.  In addition, securities class action litigation has often been brought against companies who have been unable to provide current public information or who have restated previously filed financial statements.

Any of these actions could result in substantial costs, divert management’s attention and resources, and harm our business, financial condition and results of operations.
 

We do not have sufficient cash to support our operations and we will need to find capital to operate.  If we are unable to raise capital as we need it, we may have to curtail, or even cease, our operations.

We have not recognized any revenues since the inception of our business and we do not have enough cash to support our operations.  Our capital requirements have been and will continue to be significant.  In order to fund shortages of capital, we have borrowed money from our major stockholders and sold our securities.  Our major stockholders are not under any obligation to continue providing loans to us.

We will need to raise additional capital to continue our operations.  If we are unsuccessful in finding financing, we may be required to severely curtail, or even to cease, our operations.

During the 2009 fiscal year, approximately $2 million in debt will become due.  We are not certain that we will have the funds to repay this debt, which could subject us to legal action.  Any such actions would adversely affect our business and financial condition.

By July 2009, approximately $2 million of debt securities that we issued will become due.  We do not currently have the funds to repay this debt and we cannot assure you that we will be able to raise the funds or to renegotiate the terms of the loans.  If we default on these obligations and if our investors refuse to renegotiate the terms of the loans, we may be subjected to lawsuits which would further strain our finances and disrupt our business and would adversely affect our business and financial condition.

Our auditors have indicated that our inability to generate sufficient revenue raises substantial doubt as to our ability to continue as a going concern.

Our audited financial statements for the period ended September 30, 2008 were prepared on a going concern basis.  Our auditors have indicated that our inability to generate revenue raises substantial doubt as to our ability to continue as a going concern.  Through September 30, 2008, we incurred cumulative losses of $33,914,735 including net income for the year ended September 30, 2008 of $15,550,391.  We have negligible cash flow from operations and our ability to transition from a development stage company to an operating company is entirely dependent upon obtaining adequate cash to finance our overhead, research and development activities, and acquisition of production equipment.  We do not know if we will achieve a level of revenues adequate to support our cost and expenses.  In order to meet our basic financial obligations, including rent, salaries, debt service and operations, we plan to seek additional equity or debt financing.  Because of our history and current debt levels, there is considerable doubt that we will be able to obtain financing.  Our ability to meet our cash requirements for the next twelve months depends on our ability to obtain financing.  There is no assurance that we will be able to implement our business plan or continue our operations.

We may be unable to compete successfully in our industry.

Many of our competitors, such as General Electric Co., Cuno Incorporated and Siemens Water Technologies, are large, diversified manufacturing companies with significant expertise in the water quality business and contacts with water utilities and industrial water consumers.  These competitors have significantly greater name recognition and financial and other resources.  We may not be able to compete successfully against them.  We do not represent a significant presence in the water treatment industry.
 

 
12

 

 
Our industry is subject to government regulation, which may increase our costs of doing business.
 
Treatment of domestic drinking water and wastewater is regulated by a number of federal, state and local agencies, including the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency.  The changing regulatory environment, including changes in water quality standards, could adversely affect our business by requiring us to re-engineer our products or invest in new technologies.  This could have a material adverse effect on our business by increasing our costs of doing business.

We may be subject to product liability claims for which we do not have insurance.  If we were required to pay a substantial product liability claim, our business and financial condition would be materially adversely affected.

We, like any other manufacturer of products that are designed to treat food or water that will be ingested, face an inherent risk of exposure to product liability claims in the event that the use of our products results in injury.  Such claims may include, among others, that our products fail to remove harmful contaminants or bacteria, or that our products introduce other contaminants into the water.  While we intend to obtain product liability insurance, there can be no assurance that such insurance will continue to be available at a reasonable cost, or, if available, will be adequate to cover liabilities.  In the event that we do not have adequate insurance, product liability claims relating to defective products could have a material adverse effect on our business and financial condition.

Our water treatment system and the related technology are unproven and may not achieve widespread market acceptance among our prospective customers. If we are unable to sell our water treatment systems, our business will suffer.

Although we have installed a water treatment system on a pilot basis, our products have not been proven in a commercial context over any significant period of time.  We have developed our proprietary technology and processes for water treatment based on dissolved air flotation technology, which competes with other forms of water treatment technologies that currently are in operation throughout the United States.  Our water treatment system and the technology on which it is based may not achieve widespread market acceptance.  Our success will depend on our ability to market our system and services to businesses and water providers on terms and conditions acceptable to us and to establish and maintain successful relationships with various water providers and state regulatory agencies.

We believe that market acceptance of our system will depend on many factors including:

·           the perceived advantages of our system over competing water treatment solutions;

·           the safety and efficacy of our system;

·           the availability of alternative water treatment solutions;

·           the pricing and cost effectiveness of our system;

·           our ability to access businesses and water providers that may use our system;

·           the effectiveness of our sales and marketing efforts;

·           publicity concerning our system and technology or competitive solutions;

·           timeliness in assembling and installing our system on customer sites;

·           our ability to respond to changes in regulations; and
 

 
13

 

 
·           our ability to provide effective service and maintenance of our systems to our customers’ satisfaction.

If our system or our technology fails to achieve or maintain market acceptance or if new technologies are introduced by others that are more favorably received than our technology, are more cost effective or otherwise render our technology obsolete, we may not be able to sell our systems.  If we are unable to sell our systems, our business and prospects would suffer.

We must meet evolving customer requirements for water treatment and invest in the development of our water treatment technologies.  If we fail to do this, our business and operations will be adversely affected.

If we are unable to develop or enhance our systems and services to satisfy evolving customer demands, our business, operating results, financial condition and prospects will be harmed significantly.

Failure to protect our intellectual property rights could impair our competitive position.

Our water treatment systems utilize a variety of proprietary rights that are important to our competitive position and success.  Because the intellectual property associated with our technology is evolving and rapidly changing, our current intellectual property rights may not protect us adequately. We rely on a combination of patents, trademarks, trade secrets and contractual restrictions to protect the intellectual property we use in our business.  In addition, we generally enter into confidentiality or license agreements or have confidentiality provisions in agreements with our employees, consultants, strategic partners and customers and control access to, and distribution of, our technology, documentation and other proprietary information.

Because legal standards relating to the validity, enforceability and scope of protection of patent and intellectual property rights in new technologies are uncertain and still evolving, the future viability or value of our intellectual property rights is uncertain.  Furthermore, our competitors independently may develop similar technologies that limit the value of our intellectual property or design around patents issued to us.  If competitors or third parties are able to use our intellectual property or are able to successfully challenge, circumvent, invalidate or render unenforceable our intellectual property, we likely would lose any competitive advantage we might develop.  We may not be successful in securing or maintaining proprietary or patent protection for the technology used in our system or services, and protection that is secured may be challenged and possibly lost.

Demand for our products could be adversely affected by a downturn in government spending related to water treatment, or in the cyclical residential or non-residential building markets.

Our business will be dependent upon spending on water treatment systems by utilities, municipalities and other organizations that supply water which, in turn, is often dependent upon residential construction, population growth, continued contamination of water sources and regulatory responses to this contamination.  As a result, demand for our water treatment systems could be impacted adversely by general budgetary constraints on governmental or regulated customers, including government spending cuts, the inability of government entities to issue debt to finance any necessary water treatment projects, difficulty of customers in obtaining necessary permits or changes in regulatory limits associated with the contaminants we seek to address with our water treatment system.  A slowdown of growth in residential and non-residential building would reduce demand for drinking water and for water treatment systems.  The residential and non-residential building markets are generally cyclical, and, historically, down cycles have typically lasted a number of years. Any significant decline in the governmental spending on water treatment systems or residential or non-residential building markets could weaken demand for our systems.
 
You may have difficulty trading our common stock as there is a limited public market for our shares.

Our common stock is currently quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board under the symbol “SINX.” Our common stock is not actively traded and there is a limited public market for our shares. As a result, a shareholder may find it difficult to dispose of, or to obtain accurate quotations of the price of, our common stock. This severely limits the liquidity of our common stock, and would likely have a material adverse effect on the market price for our common stock and on our ability to raise additional capital. An active public market for shares of our common stock may not develop, or if one should develop, it may not be sustained.

Applicable SEC rules governing the trading of “penny stocks” may limit the trading and liquidity of our common stock which may affect the trading price of our common stock.

Our common stock is considered to be a “penny stock” under federal securities laws.  Penny stocks are subject to SEC rules and regulations which impose limitations upon the manner in which such shares may be publicly traded. These regulations require the delivery, prior to any transaction involving a penny stock, of a disclosure schedule explaining the penny stock market and the associated risks. Under these regulations, certain brokers who recommend such securities to persons other than established customers or certain accredited investors must make a special written suitability determination regarding such a purchaser and receive such purchaser’s written agreement to a transaction prior to sale. These regulations have the effect of limiting the trading activity of our common stock and reducing the liquidity of an investment in our common stock.

We do not anticipate that we will pay dividends on our common stock any time in the near future.

We have not paid any cash dividends on our common stock since our inception and do not anticipate paying any cash dividends in the foreseeable future.  We plan to retain our earnings, if any, to provide funds for the expansion of our business. Our board of directors will determine future dividend policy based upon conditions at that time, including our earnings and financial condition, capital requirements and other relevant factors.

You may experience dilution of your ownership interests because of the future issuance of additional shares of our common stock.

As of September 30, 2008, there were 134,756,213 shares of our common stock outstanding.  In the future, we may be required to issue a total of 81,483,423 shares of common stock if all of our outstanding options, warrants and convertible promissory notes are exercised or converted.  Many of these shares may be issued below the market value of our shares on the date the securities are exercised or converted.  The future issuance of any such additional shares of our common stock or other securities we may issue for raising capital or paying for services may create downward pressure on the trading price of our common stock.  Holders of our common stock will have their holdings diluted as a result of the issuance of additional shares of our common stock.

We have failed to file annual or quarterly reports on a timely basis two times during the past two years.  If we fail to file one more report on a timely basis, the OTCBB will no longer allow our common stock to be quoted.

Section 6530(e)(1) of the FINRA Manual states,

Notwithstanding the foregoing paragraphs, a member shall not be permitted to quote a security if: (A) while quoted on the OTCBB, the issuer of the security has failed to file a complete required annual or quarterly report by the due date for such report (including, if applicable, any extensions permitted by SEC Rule 12b-25) three times in the prior two-year period . . . .

If we fail to file an annual or quarterly report on a timely basis prior to December 31, 2009, the OTCBB will no longer allow our common stock to be quoted.  We cannot assure you that we will be able to file our reports in accordance with the requirements of the OTCBB.

ITEM 2. 
PROPERTIES.

As of August 1, 2008, we entered into a 36 month lease for an industrial site consisting of approximately 12,000 square feet of administrative offices and a manufacturing facility.  Monthly lease payments for the period from August 1, 2008 through July 31, 2009 are $8,650 plus common area maintenance charges; monthly lease payments for the period from August 1, 2009 through July 31, 2010 are $8,995 plus common area maintenance charges and monthly lease payments for the period from August 1, 2010 through July 31, 2011 are $9,355 plus common area maintenance charges.  The lease agreement includes an option to extend the lease for an additional 36 months. If the option is exercised, monthly payments over the three year term would be $9,730 plus common area maintenance charges from August 1, 2011 through July 31, 2012, $10,118 plus common area maintenance charges from August 1, 2012 through July 31, 2012, and $10,523 plus common area maintenance charges from August 1, 2013 through July 31, 2014.

Recent Issuances of Unregistered Securities

On July 29, 2008, we sold and issued in a private placement (the “Private Placement”) $1,000,000 in aggregate principal amount of our 12% Convertible Debentures (each, a “Debenture”, collectively, the “Debentures”) along with warrants to purchase an aggregate of 1,000,000 shares of our common stock (the “Warrants”).

The Debentures will be convertible into our common stock at a conversion price of $0.25 per share (the “Conversion Price”) from and after such time as we increase our authorized common stock in accordance with applicable federal and state laws, which we plan to do as soon as commercially and legally practicable.  Each Debenture has a maturity date one year from its date of issuance and all outstanding principal and accrued interest of each Debenture will be due and payable on such date unless sooner declared due and payable by the holder upon the occurrence of an event of default.  The Debentures accrue interest at the rate of 12% per year.  In the event that we sell our common stock, or securities convertible into common stock at a conversion price or exercise price less than the Conversion Price (a “Dilutive Issuance”), then the Conversion Price of any then outstanding Debentures will be reduced to equal such lower price, except in connection with certain exempt issuances.  In an event of default under the Debentures, the Conversion Price will be reduced to $0.15 per share.

The Warrants will be exercisable at an exercise price of $0.30 per share from and after such time as we increase our authorized common stock.  The Warrants have a term of five years and may be exercised on a cashless basis at the election of the holder.  In the event of a Dilutive Issuance, the exercise price of the Warrants will be reduced to equal the price of the securities issued in the Dilutive Issuance, except in connection with certain exempt issuances.

From the $1,000,000 gross proceeds of the Private Placement, we paid a placement fee of $120,000 and transaction expenses of $40,000.

The Private Placement was exempt from registration under Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Rule 506 of Regulation D promulgated thereunder, inasmuch as the securities were issued to accredited investors only without any form of general solicitation or general advertising.

ITEM 7. 
MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITIONAND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS.

General.
 
The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with our financial statements and notes thereto, included elsewhere in this report. Except for the historical information contained in this report, the following discussion contains certain forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties, such as statements of our plans, objectives, expectations and intentions. Our actual results may differ materially from the results discussed in the forward-looking statements as a result of certain factors including, but not limited to, those discussed in the section of this report titled “Cautionary Factors That May Affect Future Results”, as well as other factors, some of which will be outside of our control.  You are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which relate only to events as of the date on which the statements are made.  We undertake no obligation to publicly revise these forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances that arise after the date hereof.  You should refer to and carefully review the information in future documents we file with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
 
Application of Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates 
 
The preparation of our financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP requires management to make judgments, assumptions and estimates that affect the amounts reported. A critical accounting estimate is an assumption about highly uncertain matters and could have a material effect on the consolidated financial statements if another, also reasonable, amount were used or a change in the estimate is reasonably likely from period to period. We base our assumptions on historical experience and on other estimates that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results could differ significantly from these estimates. There were no changes in accounting policies or significant changes in accounting estimates during the 2008 fiscal year. Management believes the following critical accounting policies reflect its more significant estimates and assumptions.
 
Revenue Recognition. Although the Company has yet to complete sales, it plans to follow the guidance provided by SAB 104 for recognition of revenues. The Company does not plan to recognize revenue unless there is persuasive evidence of an arrangement, title and risk of loss has passed to the customer, delivery has occurred or the services have been rendered, the sales price is fixed or determinable and collection of the related receivable is reasonably assured. In general, the Company plans to require a deposit from a customer before a unit is fabricated and shipped.  It is the Company's policy to require an arrangement with its customers, either in the form of a written contract or purchase order containing all of the terms and conditions governing the arrangement, prior to the recognition of revenue. Title and risk of loss will generally pass to the customer at the time of delivery of the product to a common carrier. At the time of the transaction, the Company will assess whether the sales price is fixed or determinable and whether or not collection is reasonably assured. If the sales price is not deemed to be fixed or determinable, revenue will be recognized as the amounts become due from the customer. The Company does not plan to offer a right of return on its products and the products will generally not be subject to customer acceptance rights. The Company plans to assess collectability based on a number of factors, including past transaction and collection history with a customer and the creditworthiness of the customer. The Company plans to perform ongoing credit evaluations of its customers' financial condition. If the Company determines that collectability of the sales price is not reasonably assured, revenue recognition will be deferred until such time as collection becomes reasonably assured, which is generally upon receipt of payment from the customer. The Company plan to include shipping and handling costs in revenue and cost of sales.
 

 
18

 

 
Support Services. The Company plans to provide support services to customers primarily through service contracts, and it will recognize support service revenue ratably over the term of the service contract or as services are rendered.
 
Warranties.  The Company's products are generally subject to warranty, and related costs will be provided for in cost of sales when revenue is recognized. Once the Company has a history of sales, the Company's warranty obligation will be based upon historical product failure rates and costs incurred in correcting a product failure. If actual product failure rates or the costs associated with fixing failures differ from historical rates, adjustments to the warranty liability may be required in the period in which determined.
 
Allowance for Doubtful Accounts. The Company will evaluate the adequacy of its allowance for doubtful accounts on an ongoing basis through detailed reviews of its accounts and notes receivables.  Estimates will be used in determining the Company's allowance for doubtful accounts and will be based on historical collection experience, trends including prevailing economic conditions and adverse events that may affect a customer's ability to repay, aging of accounts and notes receivable by category, and other factors such as the financial condition of customers. This evaluation is inherently subjective because estimates may be revised in the future as more information becomes available about outstanding accounts.
 
Inventory Valuation. Inventories will be stated at the lower of cost or market, with costs generally determined on a first-in first-out basis. We plan to utilize both specific product identification and historical product demand as the basis for determining excess or obsolete inventory reserve. Changes in market conditions, lower than expected customer demand or changes in technology or features could result in additional obsolete inventory that is not saleable and could require additional inventory reserve provisions.
 
Goodwill and other Intangibles. Goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite lives will be tested annually for impairment in accordance with the provisions of Financial Accounting Standards Board Statement No. 142 “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets” (FAS 142). We will use our judgment in assessing whether assets may have become impaired between annual impairment tests. We perform our annual test for indicators of goodwill and non-amortizable intangible assets impairment in the fourth quarter of our fiscal year or sooner if indicators of impairment exist.
 
Legal Contingencies. From time to time we may be a defendant in litigation. As required by Financial Accounting Standards Board Statement No. 5  “Accounting for Contingencies” (FAS 5), we are required to determine whether an estimated loss from a loss contingency should be accrued by assessing whether a loss is deemed probable and the loss amount can be reasonably estimated, net of any applicable insurance proceeds. Estimates of potential outcomes of these contingencies are developed in consultation with outside counsel. While this assessment is based upon all available information, litigation is inherently uncertain and the actual liability to fully resolve this litigation cannot be predicted with any assurance of accuracy. Final settlement of these matters could possibly result in significant effects on our results of operations, cash flows and financial position.
 
Warrant Liability. The Company calculates the fair value of warrants and options using the Black-Scholes model. Assumptions used in the calculation include the risk free interest rate, volatility of the stock price, and dividend yield. Estimates used in the calculation include the expected term of the warrants or options.
 
Accrued Derivative Liabilities. The Company applies a two-step model to determine whether a financial instrument or an embedded feature is indexed to an issuer’s own stock and thus able to qualify for equity treatment. The Company determines which instruments or embedded features require liability accounting and records the fair values as an accrued derivative liability. The changes in the values of the accrued derivative liabilities are shown in the accompanying statements of operations as “gain on change in fair value of warrant and option liability” and “gain on change in fair value of beneficial conversion liability.”


 
19

 

 
Plan of Operation.
 
During the next twenty-four months we plan to test and continue demonstrating the ELIXIR water treatment system to potential clients at the Villa Park Dam under our arrangement with the Serrano Water District. We believe that the operation of the unit at this facility will position us to aggressively market the ELIXIR to public water utilities, private companies and other potential customers.  These demonstrations will serve as a sales tool and a model for possible applications and installations. Once we obtain sufficient financing, we plan to engage in substantial promotional activities in connection with the operation of the unit, including media exposure and access to other public agencies and potential private customers. If the unit continues to operate successfully, we believe we can receive orders for operating units. We have demonstrated the unit at the Villa Park Dam to over fifty prospective clients.
 
We have established our manufacturing facility in Anaheim, California to begin production of the units. Once we have obtained financing we will begin to recruit and hire employees to serve at the facility. We anticipate that most of our capital needs will need to be funded by equity financing until such time that we have received orders for, and deposits with respect to, our products.
 
Restatement of the Fiscal Year Ended September 30, 2007
 
On March 21, 2008 the Company received a letter from the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) regarding the Company’s Form 10-KSB for the period ended September 30, 2007 and its Form 10-QSB for the period ended December 31, 2007.  In response to the SEC’s letter, the Company restated its financial statements for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2007.  As a result of the restatement, the following adjustments were made to the Company’s financial statements for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2007:

Restatement of the Fiscal Year Ended September 30, 2008

As discussed above, the Company restated its September 30, 2007 financial statements in response to a comment letter from the Securities and Exchange Commission.  However, the restatement did not properly account for certain derivative transactions. This resulted in the Company restating its September 30, 2007 financial statements for a third time. Management also determined that the September 30, 2008 transactions were required to be restated to properly account for these derivative transactions. As a result of the restatement, the following adjustments were made to the Company’s financial statements for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2008.

Results of Operations
 
Year Ended September 30, 2008 Compared To Year Ended September 30, 2007
 
    Revenues for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2008 and 2007 were zero.  Although we received an order and deposit for two, water treatment systems during the 2008 fiscal year, revenue from this order has not been recognized because the units have not been completed and delivered. The Company incurred operating expenses of $8,615,833 during the fiscal year ended September 30, 2008, an increase of $2,974,365 or approximately 53%, as compared to $5,641,468 for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2007.  General and administrative expenses of $7,529,630 during the fiscal year ended September 30, 2008, an increase of $2,446,327 or approximately 48%, as compared to $5,083,303 for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2007, contributed to the significant increase in operating expenses. The increase in general and administrative expenses resulted primarily from options and warrants issued to employees and consultants, finance placement fees for debt issued and personnel costs. Research and development expenses of $1,060,933 during the fiscal year ended September 30, 2008, an increase of $534,467 or approximately 102%, as compared to $526,466 for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2007, also contributed to the increase in operating expenses.  The increase in research and development expenses resulted primarily from additional personnel costs associated with employees hired to continue design and refinement of the ELIXIR water treatment system, and the research and development of the two water treatment systems ordered during the 2008 fiscal year.
 
    Other income (expense) totaled $24,167,124 during the fiscal year ended September 30, 2008, an increase of $52,135,580 or approximately 186%, as compared to $(27,968,456) for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2007. The Company earned interest income of $7,830 during the fiscal year ended September 30, 2008, an increase of $2,944 or 60%, as compared to $4,886 during the fiscal year ended September 30, 2007.  The Company incurred interest expense and financing costs of $1,122,188 during the year ended September 30, 2008, a decrease of $31,254,550 or approximately 97%, as compared to $32,376,738 for the year ended September 30, 2007. The decrease in interest expense and financing costs relates to financing costs incurred during year end September 30, 2007 that were directly attributed to the Company’s issuance of convertible notes during 2007 and specifically to the recording of the beneficial conversion features of the notes and warrants attached to the notes during fiscal year 2007. There were no like expenses during fiscal year end September 30, 2008.  Gain on change in fair value of the warrant and option liability was $3,916,040 for the year ended September 30, 2008 compared to the gain on change in fair value of the warrant and option liability of $328,473 for the year ended September 30, 2007 representing an increase of $3,587,567 or a change of 1092%. The gain on change in fair value for the year ended September 30, 2008 represents the decrease in the fair value of the warrant and option liability. Gain on change in fair value of the beneficial conversion liability was $21,744,766 for the year ended September 30, 2008 as compared to a gain on change in fair value of $4,164,577 for the year ended September 30, 2007 representing an increase of $17,580,189 or a change of 422%. The gain on change in fair value for the year ended September 30, 2008 represents the decrease in the fair value of the beneficial conversion liability. During the fiscal year ended September 30, 2008, the Company recorded a loss on settlement of debt and loss on lease termination of $254,309 and $125,015, respectively. There were no comparable expenses recorded during the fiscal year ended September 30, 2007. During the year ended September 30, 2007, the Company recorded an expense in the amount of $89,654 related to the settlement of a legal action.  No comparable expense was recorded during the fiscal year ended September 30, 2008. As a result of these items, net income for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2008 was $15,550,391, an increase of $49,162,907 or approximately 146% over the loss of $33,612,516 incurred for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2007.
 
Liquidity and Capital Resources.
 
The Company had cash and cash equivalents of $1,220,588 and $372,511 at September 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively. The Company’s source of liquidity has been the sale of its securities and deposits received from orders for two water treatment systems. The Company expects to receive additional orders for water treatment systems but if it does not receive additional orders or if these orders do not satisfy its capital needs, the Company expects to sell its securities or obtain loans to meet its capital requirements.  The Company has no binding commitments for financing and, with the exception of the orders it received during the 2008 fiscal year, for the sale of water treatment systems.  There can be no assurance that sales of the Company’s securities or of its water treatment systems, if such sales occur, will provide sufficient capital for its operations or that the Company will not encounter unforeseen difficulties that may deplete its capital resources more rapidly than anticipated. As of September 30, 2008, a total of $1,018,333 in principal amount of certain promissory notes issued by the Company, plus accrued interest, were due.  The Company has not yet paid the notes and no demand for payment has been made.
  
Operating Activities
 
During the fiscal year ended September 30, 2008, the Company used $1,168,775 of cash in operating activities.  Non-cash adjustments included $25,270 for depreciation, $1,164,321 for amortization of warrant and beneficial conversion feature, $254,309 for loss on settlement of debt, $125,015 for loss on lease termination, $114,850 in stock issued for services and rent, and $138,375 for accrual of liquidated damages.  The Company also recorded an increase of $137,545 in other current assets, and $28,495 in deposits. Cash provided by operating activities included $258,119 in accounts payable, $730,900 in accrued liabilities, and $1,260,000 in customer deposits. Cash used in operating activities included $3,916,040 for warrant and option liability and $21,744,767 for beneficial conversion liability. Stock based compensation to employees was $1,842,945 and stock based compensation to consultants was $3,685,722.
 
During the fiscal year ended September 30, 2007, the Company used $1,117,861 of cash in operating activities. Non-cash additions to net income included $31,699 for depreciation, $833,826 for amortization of warrant and beneficial conversion feature, $15,375 for accrual of liquidating damages, $31,434,495 for financing costs, $3,461,578 for compensation costs.  Non-cash subtractions from net income included $328,473 for the gain on change in fair value of warrant and option liability and $4,164,577 for the gain on change in fair value of beneficial conversion liability.  The Company also recorded an increase of $1,350 in current assets and an increase of $104,600 in deposits. Cash provided by operating activities included $2,021,946 in accrued expenses.  Cash used in operating activities included $115,209 in accounts payable, and $104,600 in other assets. Stock based compensation to consultants was $208,989.
 
Investing Activities
 
During the fiscal year ended September 30, 2008, the Company acquired property and equipment totaling $96,552, as compared to property acquisitions of $27,772 during the fiscal year ended September 30, 2007.
 
Financing Activities
 

 
22

 

    Financing activities provided $2,113,404 to the Company during the fiscal year ended September 30, 2008. The Company received $1,425,000 in notes payable and $750,000 from the issuance of stock. The Company made payments of $19,260 to an officer for a loan payable, $15,000 to a related party for loan payable, and $27,336 on an equity line of credit.
 
Financing activities provided $1,513,600 to the Company during the fiscal year ended September 30, 2007. The Company received $1,861,000 in notes payable.  The Company made payments of $47,400 to an officer for a loan payable and $300,000 on an equity line of credit
 
As of September 30, 2008, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $33,914,735. Management anticipates that future operating results will continue to be subject to many of the problems, expenses, delays and risks inherent in the establishment of a developmental business enterprise, many of which the Company cannot control.
 
Going Concern Opinion.
 
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. This basis of accounting contemplates the recovery of the Company’s assets and the satisfaction of its liabilities in the normal course of business. Through September 30, 2008, the Company has incurred cumulative losses of $33,914,735, including net income for the year ended September 30, 2008 of $15,550,391. As the Company has limited cash flow from operations, its ability to transition from a development stage company to an operating company is entirely dependent upon obtaining adequate financing to pay for its overhead, research and development activities, and acquisition of production equipment. It is unknown when, if ever, the Company will achieve a level of revenues adequate to support its costs and expenses. In order for the Company to meet its basic financial obligations, including rent, salaries, debt service and operations, it plans to undertake additional equity or debt financing. Because of the Company’s history and current debt levels, there is considerable doubt that the Company will be able to obtain financing. The Company’s ability to meet its cash requirements for the next twelve months depends on its ability to obtain such financing. Even if financing is obtained, any such financing will likely involve additional fees and debt service requirements, which may significantly reduce the amount of cash the Company will have for its operations. Accordingly, there is no assurance that the Company will be able to implement its plans.
 
The Company expects to continue to incur substantial operating losses for the foreseeable future, and it cannot predict the extent of the future losses or when it may become profitable, if ever. It expects to incur increasing sales and marketing, research and development and general and administrative expenses. Also, the Company has a substantial amount of short-term debt, which will need to be repaid or refinanced, unless it is converted into equity. As a result, as it begins to generate revenues from operations, those revenues will need to be significant in order to cover current and anticipated expenses. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern unless it is able to obtain substantial additional financing in the short term and generate significant revenues over the long term. If the Company is unable to obtain financing, it would likely discontinue operations.

We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Sionix Corporation (a development stage entity) (a Nevada corporation) as of September 30, 2008 and 2007 and the related statements of operations, stockholders' equity (deficit), and cash flows for the years ended September 30, 2008 and 2007 and for the period from October 3, 1994 (inception) to September 30, 2008. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement.  An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.  An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.  We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
 
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Sionix Corporation as of September 30, 2008 and 2007 and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years ended September 30, 2008 and 2007 and for the period from October 3, 1994 (inception) to September 30, 2008, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
 
The Company's financial statements are prepared using the generally accepted accounting principles applicable to a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business.  The Company has deficit accumulated from inception amounting $33,914,735 at September 30, 2008 including a net income of $15,550,391 incurred in the year ended September 30, 2008. These factors as discussed in Note 15 to the financial statements, raises substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. Management's plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 15.  The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
 
As discussed in Note 17, the financial statements for the year ended September 30, 2007 have been restated.

NOTE 1      ORGANIZATION AND DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS
 
Sionix Corporation (the "Company") was incorporated in Utah in 1985.  The Company was formed to design, develop, and market automatic water filtration systems primarily for small water districts.
 
The Company completed its reincorporation as a Nevada corporation effective July 1, 2003. The reincorporation was completed pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Merger between Sionix Corporation, a Utah corporation ("Sionix Utah") and its wholly-owned Nevada subsidiary, Sionix Corporation ("Sionix Nevada"). Under the merger agreement, Sionix Utah merged with and into Sionix Nevada, and each share of Sionix Utah’s Common Stock was automatically converted into one share of Common Stock, par value $0.001 per share, of Sionix Nevada. The merger was effected by the filing of Articles of Merger, along with the Agreement and Plan of Merger, with the Secretary of State of Nevada.
 
The Company is a development stage company as defined in Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 7, “Accounting and Reporting by Development Stage Enterprises.” The Company is in the development stage and its efforts have been principally devoted to research and development, organizational activities, and raising capital. All losses accumulated since inception have been considered as part of the Company’s development stage activities.
 
NOTE 2      SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
 
USE OF ESTIMATES
 
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”) requires management to make certain estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.  Actual results could differ from those estimates.  Significant estimates include collectability of accounts receivable, accounts payable, sales returns and recoverability of long-term assets.
 
CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS
 
Cash and cash equivalents represent cash and short-term highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less.
 
PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT
 
Property and equipment is stated at cost. The cost of additions and improvements are capitalized while maintenance and repairs are expensed as incurred. Depreciation of property and equipment is provided on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the assets.
 
PROVISION FOR INCOME TAXES
 
The Company utilizes SFAS No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes,” which requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the financial statements or tax returns. Under this method, deferred income taxes are recognized for the tax consequences in future years of differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their financial reporting amounts at each period end based on enacted tax laws and statutory tax rates applicable to the periods in which the differences are expected to affect taxable income. Valuation allowances are established, when necessary, to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized.
 
ADVERTISING
 
The cost of advertising is expensed as incurred. Total advertising costs were $105 and $4,555 for the years ended September 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively.

ACCRUED DERIVATIVE LIABILITIES
 
The Company applies a two-step model to determine whether a financial instrument or an embedded feature is indexed to an issuer’s own stock and thus able to qualify for equity treatment. However, liability accounting is triggered as there were insufficient shares to fulfill all potential conversions. The Company determines which instruments or embedded features require liability accounting and records the fair values as an accrued derivative liability. The changes in the values of the accrued derivative liabilities are shown in the accompanying statements of operations as “gain on change in fair value of warrant and option liability” and “gain on change in fair value of beneficial conversion liability.”

STOCK BASED COMPENSATION
 
Effective October 1, 2006, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 123-R, “Share-Based Payment” (“SFAS 123-R”), which requires the measurement and recognition of compensation expense for all share-based payment awards made to employees and directors, including stock options, to be based on their fair values. SFAS 123-R supersedes Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees” (“APB 25”), which the Company previously followed in accounting for stock-based awards. In March 2005, the SEC issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 107 (SAB 107) to provide guidance on SFAS 123-R. The Company has applied SAB 107 in its adoption of SFAS 123-R.
 
EARNINGS PER SHARE
 
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 128, “Earnings per share” requires the presentation of basic earnings per share and diluted earnings per share.  Basic and diluted earnings per share computations presented by the Company conform to the standard and are based on the weighted average number of shares of Common Stock outstanding during the year.
 
Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing net income or loss by the weighted average number of shares outstanding for the year.  “Diluted” earnings per share is computed by dividing net income or loss by the total of the weighted average number of shares outstanding, and the dilutive effect of outstanding stock options (applying the treasury stock method).
 
The following is a reconciliation of the numerators and denominators of the basic and diluted earnings per share computations:

FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
 
Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 107, "Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments", requires that the Company disclose estimated fair values of financial instruments. The carrying amounts reported in the statements of financial position for assets and liabilities qualifying as financial instruments are a reasonable estimate of fair value.
 
CONCENTRATION OF CREDIT RISK
 
As of September 30, 2008, and during the 2008 fiscal year, the Company had deposits in financial institutions over the federally insured limits of $100,000. The Company does not believe there is any credit risk related to these deposits due to the financial condition of the financial institution.
 
RECLASSIFICATIONS
 
Certain items in the prior year financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the current period’s presentation. These reclassifications have no effect on the previously reported net loss.

The Company settled $900,000 in principal amount of the notes by issuing shares of Common Stock during the year ended September 30, 2003. In 2006, the Company entered into a settlement agreement with Cornell Capital Partners, LP to pay the total outstanding principal and accrued interest amount of $327,336; $50,000 was to be paid on or before November 15, 2006, $25,000 was payable per month on the 15th day of each month commencing December 15, 2006, with the balance of $27,336 due and payable on or before October 15, 2007. The Company recorded a loss on settlement of debt of $94,221 for the year ended September 30, 2006. The balance as of September 30, 2007 was $27,336, which was subsequently paid in October 2007.
 
NOTE 9      CONVERTIBLE NOTES
 
Convertible Notes 1
 
Between October 2006 and February 2007, the Company completed an offering of $750,000 in principal amount of convertible notes, which bear interest at 10% per annum and mature at the earlier of (i) 18 months from the date of issuance (ii) an event of default or (iii) the closing of any equity related financing by the Company in which the gross proceeds are a minimum of $2,500,000. These notes are convertible into shares of the Company’s Common Stock at $0.05 per share or shares of any equity security issued by the Company at a conversion price equal to the price at which such security is sold to any other party. In the event that a registration statement covering the underlying shares was not declared effective within 180 days after the closing, the conversion price was to be reduced by $0.0025 per share for each 30 day period that the effectiveness of the registration statement was delayed but in no case could the conversion price to be reduced below $0.04 per share. As of September 30, 2008 and 2007, the conversion price was $0.04 per share.
 
SFAS 133, paragraph 12 was applied to determine if the embedded beneficial conversion features should be bifurcated from the convertible notes. The Company determined that the economic characteristics of the embedded beneficial conversion features are not clearly and closely related to the convertible notes, the embedded beneficial conversion feature and convertible notes are not remeasured at fair value at each balance sheet date, and a separate contract with the same terms would be a derivative pursuant to SFAS 133, paragraphs 6-11. Therefore, the embedded beneficial conversion features were bifurcated from the convertible notes. SFAS 133, paragraph 6 was applied to determine if the embedded beneficial conversion features were within the scope and definition of a derivative. The embedded beneficial conversion features had one or more underlings and one or more notional amounts, required no initial investment and required or permitted net settlement. Therefore, the embedded beneficial conversion features were determined to be derivatives. The terms of the conversion feature only allow the counterparty to convert the notes into shares of common stock. Therefore, EITF 00-19, paragraphs 12-33 were included in the analysis to determine the classification of the conversion feature. The Company included SFAS 150 in the analysis of the convertible notes. SFAS 150 requires three classes of freestanding financial instruments, as defined in paragraphs 8 through 17, to be classified as liabilities. The first class, as defined in paragraph 9, is financial instruments that are mandatorily redeemable financial instruments. There are no terms or conditions that require the Company to unconditionally redeem the convertible notes by transferring assets at a specified or determinable date. The second class, as defined in paragraph 11, is financial instruments that require the repurchase of shares of Common Stock by transferring assets. There are no terms or conditions that require the Company to repurchase shares of Common Stock. The third class, as defined in paragraph 12, is financial instruments that require the issuance of a variable number of shares of Common Stock. There are no terms or conditions that require the Company to issue a variable number of shares of Common Stock. Therefore, the Company concluded that the convertible notes were not within the scope of SFAS 150.


 
 
 
F-10

 
 


The fair value of the embedded beneficial conversion features was $750,000 at the date of issuance using the Black-Scholes model with the following assumptions: risk free rate of return ranging from 2.02% to 5.09%; volatility ranging from 268% to 275%; dividend yield of 0%; and expected term of 1.5 years.

Based on the calculation of the fair value of the embedded beneficial conversion feature, the Company allocated $750,000 to the beneficial conversion feature and the beneficial conversion feature discount, and none to the convertible note at the date of issuance. The embedded beneficial conversion feature discount is amortized to interest expense over the term of the note, which is $41,667 per month.
 
As of September 30, 2008, the outstanding principal amount of the convertible notes was $533,333 and there was no unamortized embedded beneficial conversion feature discount. As of August 27, 2008, the convertible notes had matured and the outstanding principal amount of $533,333 and accrued interest of $75,224 were due. The Company has not yet paid the notes and no demand for payment has been made.
 
As of September 30, 2007, the outstanding principal amount of the convertible notes was $750,000 and the unamortized embedded beneficial conversion feature discount was $290,556, for a net convertible debt of $459,444.
 
For the year ended September 30, 2008, interest expense was $69,702, and amortization expense for the embedded beneficial conversion feature discount was $290,556, which was included in interest expense in the other income (expense) section of the statement of operations.

Calico Capital Management, LLC acted as a financial advisor for Convertible Notes 1 and 2 for the Company and received a fee of $75,000. Southridge Investment Group LLC, Ridgefield, Connecticut (“Southridge) acted as an agent for the Company in arranging the transaction for Convertible Notes 1 and 2. The Company recorded these fees as an expense during the period.
 
Convertible Notes 2
 
On June 6, 2007, the Company completed an offering of $86,000 in principal amount of convertible notes, which bear interest at 10% per annum and mature on December 31, 2008.These notes are convertible into shares of the Company’s Common Stock at $0.01 per share or shares of any equity security issued by the Company at a conversion price equal to the price at which such security is sold to any other party. There are no registration rights associated with these notes.
 
SFAS 133, paragraph 12 was applied to determine if the embedded beneficial conversion features should be bifurcated from the convertible notes. The Company determined that the economic characteristics of the embedded beneficial conversion features are not clearly and closely related to the convertible notes, the embedded beneficial conversion feature and convertible notes are not remeasured at fair value at each balance sheet date, and a separate contract with the same terms would be a derivative pursuant to SFAS 133, paragraphs 6-11. Therefore, the embedded beneficial conversion features were bifurcated from the convertible notes. SFAS 133, paragraph 6 was applied to determine if the embedded beneficial conversion features were within the scope and definition of a derivative. The embedded beneficial conversion features had one or more underlings and one or more notional amounts, required no initial investment and required or permitted net settlement. Therefore, the embedded beneficial conversion features were determined to be derivatives. The terms of the conversion feature only allow the counterparty to convert the notes into shares of common stock. Therefore, EITF 00-19, paragraphs 12-33 were included in the analysis to determine the classification of the conversion feature. The Company included SFAS 150 in the analysis of the convertible notes. SFAS 150 requires three classes of freestanding financial instruments, as defined in paragraphs 8 through 17, to be classified as liabilities. The first class, as defined in paragraph 9, is financial instruments that are mandatorily redeemable financial instruments. There are no terms or conditions that require the Company to unconditionally redeem the convertible notes by transferring assets at a specified or determinable date. The second class, as defined in paragraph 11, is financial instruments that require the repurchase of shares of Common Stock by transferring assets. There are no terms or conditions that require the Company to repurchase shares of Common Stock. The third class, as defined in paragraph 12, is financial instruments that require the issuance of a variable number of shares of Common Stock. There are no terms or conditions that require the Company to issue a variable number of shares of Common Stock. Therefore, the Company concluded that the convertible notes were not within the scope of SFAS 150.

The fair value of the embedded beneficial conversion features was $86,000 at the date of issuance using the Black-Scholes model with the following assumptions: risk free rate of return of 4.96%; volatility of 259.58%; dividend yield of 0%; and expected term of 1.5 years.
 
Based on the calculation of the fair value of the embedded beneficial conversion feature, the Company allocated $86,000 to the beneficial conversion feature and the beneficial conversion feature discount, and none to the convertible note. The embedded beneficial conversion feature discount is amortized to interest expense over the term of the note, which is $4,778 per month.
 
As of September 30, 2008, the outstanding principal amount of the convertible notes was $26,000 and the unamortized embedded beneficial conversion feature discount was $2,889, for a net convertible debt of $23,111.
 
As of September 30, 2007, the outstanding principal amount of the convertible notes was $86,000 and the unamortized embedded beneficial conversion feature discount was $66,889, for a net convertible debt of $19,111.

Convertible Notes 3
 
On July 18, 2007, the Company completed an offering of $1,025,000 in principal amount of Subordinated Convertible Debentures to a group of institutional and accredited investors, which bear interest at the rate of 8% per annum, and mature 12 months from the date of issuance. Convertible Notes 3 are convertible into shares of the Company’s Common Stock at an initial conversion rate of $0.22 per share, subject to anti-dilution adjustments. As part of the above offering the Company issued warrants to purchase 2,329,546 shares of Common Stock at an initial exercise price of $0.50 per share. An amendment dated March 13, 2008, reduces the conversion rate of the notes to $0.15 per share, and the exercise price of the warrants to $0.30 per share.
 
Under the terms of a Registration Rights Agreement signed in conjunction with this offering, the Company is required to file a registration statement under the Securities Act of 1933 in order to register the resale of the shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Convertible Notes 3 and the warrant shares (collectively, the "Registrable Securities"). If the Company did not file a registration statement with respect to the Registrable Securities within forty-five days following the closing of the offering, or if the registration statement was not declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission within 90 days, then the Company was required to pay to each purchaser damages equal to 1.5% of the purchase price paid by the purchaser for Convertible Notes 3 for each 30 day period that followed these deadlines. The aggregate amount of damages payable by the Company is limited to 15% of the purchase price. The Company had until August 31, 2007 to file the registration statement. The Company recorded $153,750 for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2008, and $15,375 for a period of one month for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2007, as liquidated damages. No derivative liability is recorded as the amount of liquidated damage is fixed with a maximum ceiling.

The Company applied APB 14, paragraph 15 to determine the allocation of the proceeds of the convertible debt, which states that proceeds from the sale of debt with stock purchase warrants should be allocated between the debt and warrants, and paragraph 16 states that the proceeds should be allocated based on the relative fair values of the two securities at the time of issuance.
The fair value of the warrants was $741,371 at the date of issuance calculated using the Black-Scholes model with the following assumptions: risk free rate of return ranging from 4.96% to 5.02%; volatility ranging from 219.89% to 226.04%; dividend yield of 0%; and expected term of 5 years. As a result, the relative fair value of the warrants was $430,189.

SFAS 133, paragraph 12 was applied to determine if the embedded beneficial conversion features should be bifurcated from the convertible notes. The Company determined that the economic characteristics of the embedded beneficial conversion features are not clearly and closely related to the convertible notes, the embedded beneficial conversion feature and convertible notes are not remeasured at fair value at each balance sheet date, and a separate contract with the same terms would be a derivative pursuant to SFAS 133, paragraphs 6-11. Therefore, the embedded beneficial conversion features were bifurcated from the convertible notes. SFAS 133, paragraph 6 was applied to determine if the embedded beneficial conversion features were within the scope and definition of a derivative. The embedded beneficial conversion features had one or more underlings and one or more notional amounts, required no initial investment and required or permitted net settlement. Therefore, the embedded beneficial conversion features were determined to be derivatives. The terms of the conversion feature only allow the counterparty to convert the notes into shares of Common Stock. Therefore, EITF 00-19, paragraphs 12-33 were included in the analysis to determine the classification of the conversion feature.  The Company included SFAS 150 in the analysis of the convertible notes. SFAS 150 requires three classes of freestanding financial instruments, as defined in paragraphs 8 through 17, to be classified as liabilities. The first class, as defined in paragraph 9, is financial instruments that are mandatorily redeemable financial instruments. There are no terms or conditions that require the Company to unconditionally redeem the convertible notes by transferring assets at a specified or determinable date. The second class, as defined in paragraph 11, is financial instruments that require the repurchase of shares of Common Stock by transferring assets. There are no terms or conditions that require the Company to repurchase shares of Common Stock. The third class, as defined in paragraph 12, is financial instruments that require the issuance of a variable number of shares of Common Stock. There are no terms or conditions that require the Company to issue a variable number of shares of Common Stock. Therefore, the Company concluded that the convertible notes were not within the scope of SFAS 150.
 
The fair value of the embedded beneficial conversion features was $594,811 at the date of issuance using the Black-Scholes model with the following assumptions: risk free rate of return ranging from 4.96% to 5.02%; volatility ranging from 219.89% to 226.04%; dividend yield of 0%; and expected term of 1 year.
 
Southridge acted as the Company’s agent in arranging the transaction, and received a placement fee of $102,500. Southridge also received warrants to purchase 465,909 shares of the Company’s Common Stock on the same terms and conditions as the warrants issued to the purchasers.

12% SUBORDINATED CONVERTIBLE NOTES
 
On July 29, 2008, the Company completed an offering of $1,000,000 in principal amount of Subordinated Debentures to a group of institutional and accredited investors.  The 12% Subordinated Convertible Notes mature on July 29, 2009 or sooner if declared due and payable by the holder upon the occurrence of an event of default, and bear interest at the rate of 12% per annum. The Debentures will be convertible into Common Stock at a conversion price of $0.25 per share (the “Conversion Price”) from and after such time as the authorized Common Stock is increased in accordance with applicable federal and state laws. In the event of an offering of Common Stock, or securities convertible into Common Stock, at a price, conversion price or exercise price less than the conversion price (a “dilutive issuance”), then the conversion price of any then outstanding subordinated convertible notes will be reduced to equal such lower price, except in connection with certain exempt issuances.  In an event of default, the conversion price will be reduced to $0.15 per share. As part of the above offering, the Company issued warrants to purchase 3,333,333 shares of Common Stock, which expire five years from the date of grant, are exercisable at an exercise price of $0.30 per share from and after such time as the authorized Common Stock is increased in accordance with applicable federal and state laws, and may be exercised on a cashless basis at the election of the holder.  In the event of a dilutive issuance, the exercise price of the warrants will be reduced to equal the price of the securities issued in the dilutive issuance, except in connection with certain exempt issuances. The note will be converted into 4,000,000 shares of Common Stock at a conversion price of $0.25 per share. These shares were excluded from the earnings per share calculation as effect of dilutive securities is anti-dilutive.
 
The requirement to increase the number of authorized shares of Common Stock is a condition that has not occurred, is not certain to occur, and is outside the control of the Company. Therefore, the Company has not recognized the related beneficial conversion feature or the warrants related to these notes. If and when this condition does occur, the Company will recognize the beneficial conversion feature and warrants at fair value on the date the number of authorized shares is increased.
 
Calico Capital Management, LLC acted as a financial advisor for the Company and received a fee of $40,000. LBS Financial Services, LLC acted as an agent for the Company in arranging the transaction and received a fee of $120,000. The Company recorded these fees as an expense during the period.

On the grant date, the Company applied SFAS 133, paragraph 6 to determine if the options were within the scope and definition of a derivative. The options had one or more underlings, one or more notional amounts, required no initial investment, and required or permitted net settlement. Therefore, the options were determined to be derivatives. In order to determine how to classify the options, the Company followed the guidance of paragraphs 7 and 8 of EITF 00-19, which states that contracts that require settlement in shares are equity instruments. In order to determine the value of the options, the Company applied EITF 00-19, paragraph 9, which states that contracts that require the company to deliver shares as part of a physical settlement or net-share settlement should be initially measured at fair value. In accordance with EITF 00-19, the options were recorded in additional paid-in capital at fair value on the date of issuance.
 
In accordance with EITF 00-19, the options were reclassified as of July 17, 2007 from additional paid-in capital to warrant liability on the balance sheet, at the fair value of $2,271,879 using the Black-Scholes model with the following assumptions: risk free rate of return of 5.02%; volatility of 219.89%; dividend yield of 0%; and expected term of 3.67 years.

All of the criteria in the original analysis were met, and the options issued were determined to be within the scope and definition of a derivative. The Company next followed the guidance of EITF 00-19, paragraph 19, which states that if a company is required to obtain shareholder approval to increase the company’s authorized shares in order to net-share or physically settle a contract, share settlement is not controlled by the company, and the contract is required to be classified as a liability. The Company next applied EITF 00-19, paragraph 10, which states that if classification changes as the result of an event, the contract should be reclassified as of the date of the event at fair value. The event responsible for the change in classification was the issuance of the Convertible Debentures on July 17, 2007.

In order to determine the value of the warrants, the Company followed the guidance of EITF 00-19, paragraph 9, which states that contracts which require a company to deliver shares as part of a physical settlement or net-share settlement should be initially measured at fair value.
 
The fair value of the warrants was $1,557,705 at the date of issuance and was calculated using the Black Sholes option valuation model with the following assumptions: risk free interest rate of 3.22%, expected volatility of 99.86%, dividend yields of 0% and expected term of 5 years.
 
The Company then applied EITF 00-19, paragraph 9, which states that all contracts classified as liabilities are to be measured at fair value at each balance sheet date, with changes in fair value reported in earnings and disclosed in the financial statements as long as the contracts remain classified as liabilities.
 
The Company analyzed the warrants by applying FASB 133, paragraph 6 to ascertain if the warrants remained derivatives as of September 30, 2008. All of the criteria in the original analysis were met, and the warrants issued were determined to be within the scope and definition of a derivative. EITF 00-19, paragraph 8 was applied which states that if share settlement is not controlled by a company, the contract is required to be classified as a liability. Paragraph 9 also states that contracts classified as liabilities should be measured at fair value at each balance sheet date, with changes in fair value reported in earnings and disclosed in the financial statements as long as the contracts remain classified as liabilities.
 
The fair value of the warrants was determined to be $620,453 as of September 30, 2008, using the Black-Scholes model with the following assumptions: risk free rate of return of 1.78%; volatility of 84.94%; dividend yield of 0%; and expected term of 4.17 years.
 
The decrease in the fair value of the warrants was $937,252 for the year ended September 30, 2008, and recorded by decreasing the warrant liability on the balance sheet.

The Company then applied EITF 00-19, paragraph 9, which states that all contracts classified as liabilities are to be measured at fair value at each balance sheet date, with changes in fair value reported in earnings and disclosed in the financial statements as long as the contracts remain classified as liabilities.
 
The Company analyzed the warrant by applying FASB 133, paragraph 6 to ascertain if the warrant remained a derivative as of September 30, 2008. All of the criteria in the original analysis were met, and the warrant issued was determined to be within the scope and definition of a derivative. EITF 00-19, paragraph 8 was applied which states that if share settlement is not controlled by the company, the contract is required to be classified as a liability. Paragraph 9 also states that contracts classified as liabilities should be measured at fair value at each balance sheet date, with changes in fair value reported in earnings and disclosed in the financial statements as long as the contracts remain classified as liabilities.

The fair value of the warrant was determined to be $62,512 as of September 30, 2008, using the Black-Scholes model with the following assumptions: risk free rate of 1.78%; volatility of 84.94%; dividend yield of 0%; and expected term of 5.75 years.
 
The decrease in the fair value of the warrant was $20,267 for the year ended September 30, 2008, and recorded by decreasing the warrant liability on the balance sheet.
 
Warrant Issued to Advisory Board Member
 
On September 23, 2008, the Company issued a five year warrant to a member of the Company’s advisory board to purchase 1,500,000 shares of the Company’s Common Stock at an exercise price of $0.25 per share.
 
The Company followed the guidance of FASB 133, paragraph 6, to determine if the warrant was within the scope and definition of a derivative at the date of issuance. The warrant had one or more underlings and one or more notional amounts, required no initial investment and required or permitted net settlement. Therefore, the warrant was determined to be a derivative at the date of issuance. In order to determine how to classify the warrant, the Company followed the guidance of EITF 00-19, paragraphs 7 and 8, which state that contracts that require net-cash settlement (including a requirement to net cash settle the contract if an event occurs and if that event is outside the control of the company) are liability instruments. In order to determine the value of the warrant, the Company followed the guidance of EITF 00-19, paragraph 9, which states that contracts which require a company to deliver shares as part of a physical settlement or net-share settlement should be initially measured at fair value.
 
The fair value of the warrant was $144,641 at the date of issuance and was calculated using the Black-Scholes option valuation model with the following assumptions: risk free interest rate of 2.01%, expected volatility of 78.92%, dividend yields of 0% and expected term of 5 years.
 
The Company then applied EITF 00-19, paragraph 9, which states that all contracts classified as liabilities are to be measured at fair value at each balance sheet date, with changes in fair value reported in earnings and disclosed in the financial statements as long as the contracts remain classified as liabilities.
 
The Company analyzed the warrant by applying FASB 133, paragraph 6 to ascertain if the warrant remained a derivative as of September 30, 2008. All of the criteria in the original analysis were met, and the warrant issued was determined to be within the scope and definition of a derivative. EITF 00-19, paragraph 8 was applied which states that if share settlement is not controlled by the company, the contract is required to be classified as a liability. Paragraph 9 also states that contracts classified as liabilities should be measured at fair value at each balance sheet date, with changes in fair value reported in earnings and disclosed in the financial statements as long as the contracts remain classified as liabilities.
 
The fair value of the warrant was determined to be $118,551 as of September 30, 2008, using the Black-Scholes model with the following assumptions: risk free rate of return of 1.78%; volatility of 84.94%; dividend yield of 0%; and expected term of 4.83 years.
 
The decrease in the fair value of the warrant was $26,090 for the year ended September 30, 2008, and recorded by decreasing the warrant liability on the balance sheet.
 
NOTE 12      BENEFICIAL CONVERSION FEATURES LIABILITY
 
Advisory Board Compensation
 
On October 1, 2004, the Company formed an advisory board consisting of four members. Each member was to receive $5,000 monthly from October 1, 2004 to February 22, 2007, for a total of $576,000. Any portion of this amount is convertible by the advisory board members at any time into shares of Common Stock at a rate of $0.05 per share.

The Company followed the guidance of SFAS 133, paragraph 6 to ascertain if the embedded beneficial conversion features were derivatives at the date of issuance. The embedded beneficial conversion features had one or more underlings and one or more notional amounts, required no initial investment, and required or permitted net settlement. Therefore, the embedded beneficial conversion features were determined to be within the scope and definition of a derivative at the date of issuance. Next, the Company followed the guidance of SFAS 133, paragraph 12, to determine if the embedded beneficial conversion features should be separated from the accrued expense. The Company determined that: the economic characteristics of the embedded beneficial conversion features are not clearly and closely related to the accrued expense, the embedded beneficial conversion feature and accrued expense are not remeasured at fair value at each balance sheet date and a separate contract with the same terms would be a derivative pursuant to SFAS 133, paragraphs 6-11. Therefore, the embedded beneficial conversion features were separated from the accrued expense to determine the classification and valuation. The Company followed the guidance of EITF 00-19, paragraphs 7 and 8 to determine the classification which states that contracts that require settlement in shares are equity instruments. The Company followed the guidance of EITF 00-19, paragraph 9, to determine the value which states that contracts that require a company to deliver shares as part of a physical settlement or net-share settlement should be initially measured at fair value.  The Company next followed the guidance of EITF 00-19, paragraph 19, which states that if a company is required to obtain shareholder approval to increase the company’s authorized shares in order to net-share or physically settle a contract, share settlement is not controlled by the company, and the contract is required to be classified as a liability. The Company next applied EITF 00-19, paragraph 10, which states that if classification changes as the result of an event, the contract should be reclassified as of the date of the event at fair value. The event responsible for the change in classification was the issuance of the Convertible Debentures on July 17, 2007.
 
The fair value of the embedded beneficial conversion features was calculated using the Black-Scholes model with the following assumptions: risk free rate of return ranging from 4.94% to 5.09%; volatility ranging from 268.59% to 277.2%; dividend yield of 0%; and expected term of 5 years. The sum of the monthly embedded beneficial conversion features from October 1, 2006 to February 22, 2007, was $91,956.

The Company then applied EITF 00-19, paragraph 9, which states that all contracts classified as liabilities are to be measured at fair value at each balance sheet date, with changes in fair value reported in earnings and disclosed in the financial statements as long as the contracts remain classified as liabilities.
 
The fair value of the monthly embedded beneficial conversion features was $576,000 as of September 30, 2007, which the Company calculated using the Black-Scholes model with the following assumptions: risk free rate of return of 4.05%; volatility of 126.94%; dividend yield of 0%; and expected term ranging from 2.08 to 4.42 years.

The increase in the fair value of the embedded beneficial conversion feature was recorded by increasing beneficial conversion features liability on the balance sheet by $4,044.
 
On December 13, 2007, the Company’s Board of Directors approved amendments to the agreements with the members of the advisory board. The Company remained liable for the $576,000 of compensation, and granted five year options to purchase a total of 10,140,000 shares of the Company’s Common Stock at an exercise price of $0.25 in consideration of the ability to convert the compensation into the Company’s Common Stock at a rate of $0.05 per share. Therefore, the compensation was not convertible as of September 30, 2008.
 
Beneficial Conversion Features
 
The Company issued convertible notes between October 17, 2006, and July 17, 2007 that matured or mature between June 17, 2008 and December 31, 2008, and included embedded beneficial conversion features that allowed the holders of the convertible notes to convert their notes into Common Stock shares at rates between $.01 and $.22. The convertible notes accrue interest at rates between 8% and 10%, and any accrued but unpaid interest is also convertible by the holder of the convertible notes into shares of Common Stock at the same rate.

The Company followed the guidance of SFAS 133, paragraph 6, to ascertain if the embedded beneficial conversion features were derivatives at the date of issue. The embedded beneficial conversion features had one or more underlings and one or more notional amounts, required no initial investment and required or permitted net settlement. Therefore, the embedded beneficial conversion features were determined to be derivatives. In order to determine the classification of the embedded conversion features, the Company applied paragraph 19 of EITF 00-19, which states that if a company is required to obtain shareholder approval to increase the company’s authorized shares in order to net-share or physically settle a contract, share settlement is not controlled by the company, and the contract is required to be classified as a liability.

The fair value of the embedded beneficial conversion features was $1,430,811 as of September 30, 2007, which was calculated using the Black-Scholes model with the following assumptions: risk free rate of return of 4.05%; volatility of 126.94%; dividend yield of 0% and expected term of .58 to 1.25 years.

Through September 30, 2008, the Company has incurred cumulative losses of $33,914,735 including an income for the year ended September 30, 2008 of $15,550,391. As the Company has no cash flow from operations,  its ability to transition from a development stage company to an operating company is entirely dependent upon obtaining adequate cash to finance its overhead, research and development activities, and acquisition of production equipment. It is unknown when, if ever, the Company will achieve a level of revenues adequate to support its cost and expenses. In order for the Company to meet its basic financial obligations, including rent, salaries, debt service and operations, it plans to seek additional equity or debt financing. Because of the Company’s history and current debt levels, there is considerable doubt that the Company will be able to obtain financing. The Company’s ability to meet its cash requirements for the next twelve months depends on its ability to obtain such financing. Even if financing is obtained, any such financing will likely involve additional fees and debt service requirements which may significantly reduce the amount of cash we will have for our operations. Accordingly, there is no assurance that the Company will be able to implement its plans.
 
The Company expects to continue to incur substantial operating losses for the foreseeable future, and it cannot predict the extent of the future losses or when it may become profitable, if ever. The Company expects to incur increasing sales and marketing, research and development and general and administrative expenses. Also, the Company has a substantial amount of short-term debt, which will need to be repaid or refinanced, unless it is converted into equity. As a result, if the Company begins to generate revenues from operations, those revenues will need to be significant in order to cover current and anticipated expenses. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern unless it is able to obtain substantial additional financing in the short term and generate revenues over the long term. If the Company is unable to obtain financing, it would likely discontinue its operations.

NOTE 17 RESTATEMENT
 
On December 11, 2007 the Company received a comment letter from the Securities & Exchange Commission. In responding to the comment letter, the Company recalculated the number of shares of Common Stock available for issuance and determined that as of September 30, 2007, the number of shares of Common Stock that would be required to be issued if all of the Company’s convertible securities, including debt securities, options and warrants, were converted or exercised would exceed the number of shares of authorized Common Stock. The difference between the original calculation and the recalculation is illustrated below.

Adjustments to the original calculation included the following:
 
 
1.
In 2001, the Company adopted the 2001 Executive Officers Stock Option Plan. The plan has issued options to purchase 7,034,140 shares of Common Stock. The original calculation included options to purchase 7,343,032 shares of Common Stock, an overstatement of 308,892 shares of Common Stock.
 
 
2.
On October 1, 2004, the Company formed an advisory board consisting of four members. In exchange for his services, each member was to receive $5,000 monthly from October 1, 2004 to February 22, 2007 (for a total of $576,000 to be paid to all members).  Each member, in his sole discretion, was entitled to convert some or all of the cash amount owed to him into shares of Common Stock at the rate of $0.05 per share.  If all of the members of the advisory board converted the total amount of cash compensation due to them into shares of Common Stock, the Company would be required to issue 11,520,000 shares. The accrued expense convertible into shares of Common Stock was not included in the original calculation.
 
 
3.
Under the terms of a 2004 Stock Purchase Agreement, the Company was to issue 1,463,336 shares of Common Stock to certain investors that had previously remitted funds to the Company from February 9, 2004 to August 25, 2004. The shares were not included in the original calculation.
 
 
4.
Under the terms of the 2004 Stock Purchase Agreement, the Company issued warrants to purchase 1,463,336 shares of Common Stock to these investors at an exercise price of $0.03 per share. The warrants were not included in the original calculation.
 
 
5.
As of September 30, 2007, the Company had Convertible Notes outstanding totaling $1,861,000 that included embedded beneficial conversion features that allowed for the conversion of the notes into shares of Common Stock at rates between $0.01 and $0.22, and matured between June 2008 and December 2008. The Convertible Notes accrue interest at rates between 8% and 10%, and any accrued but unpaid interest is also convertible into shares of Common Stock. The original calculation of the beneficial conversion feature did not include accrued interest of $209,843 that could be converted into 4,597,231 shares of Common Stock at maturity.
 
 
6.
On July 18, 2007 the Company completed an offering of $1,025,000 in principal amount of Subordinated Convertible Debentures (the “Convertible Debentures”) to a group of institutional and accredited investors. As part of this offering the Company issued warrants to purchase 2,795,454 shares of Common Stock at a price of $0.50 per share.  The number of warrant shares in the original calculation was 2,159,088.

The Company analyzed the effect of the recalculation on the balance sheet and the statements of operations and cash flows as of September 30, 2007. The analysis and results were as follows:
 
2001 Executive Officers Stock Option Plan
 
In October 2000, the Company amended its employment agreements with its executive officers. In conjunction with the amendments the Company adopted the 2001 Executive Officers Stock Option Plan. The plan has reserved 7,576,680 shares of Common Stock and has issued options for the purchase of 7,034,140 shares of Common Stock.  The options expire 5 years from the date of issuance.
 
Balance Sheet
 
On the grant date, the Company applied Financial Accounting Standard Board (SFAS) Statement No. 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, paragraph 6 to determine if the options were within the scope and definition of a derivative. The options: had one or more underlings and one or more notional amounts, required no initial investment, and required or permitted net settlement. Therefore, the options were determined to be derivatives. In order to determine how to classify the options, the Company followed the guidance of paragraphs 7 and 8 of Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) 00-19, Accounting for Derivative Financial Instruments Indexed to, and Potentially Settled in, a Company’s Own Stock, which states that contracts that require settlement in shares are equity instruments. In order to determine the value of the options, the Company applied EITF 00-19, paragraph 9, which states that contracts that require a company to deliver shares as part of a physical settlement or net-share settlement should be initially measured at fair value. In accordance with EITF 00-19, the options were recorded in additional paid-in capital at fair value on the date of issuance.
 
The Company began the analysis for the restatement by following the guidance of SFAS 133, paragraph 6 to ascertain if the options issued remained derivatives as of September 30, 2007. All of the criteria in the original analysis were met, and the options issued were determined to be within the scope and definition of a derivative. The Company next followed the guidance of EITF 00-19, paragraph 19, which states that if a company is required to obtain shareholder approval to increase the company’s authorized shares in order to net-share or physically settle a contract, share settlement is not controlled by the company, and the contract is required to be classified as a liability. The Company next applied EITF 00-19, paragraph 10, which states that if classification changes as the result of an event, the contract should be reclassified as of the date of the event at fair value. The event responsible for the change in classification was the issuance of the Convertible Debentures on July 17, 2007.
 
In accordance with EITF 00-19, the options were reclassified as of July 17, 2007 from additional paid-in capital to warrant liabilities on the balance sheet, at the fair value of $2,271,879 using the Black-Scholes model with the following assumptions: risk free rate of return of 5.02%; volatility of 219.89%; dividend yield of 0%; and expected term of 3.67 years.
 
The Company followed the guidance of EITF 00-19, paragraph 9, which states that all contracts classified as liabilities should be measured at fair value at each balance sheet date, with changes in fair value reported in earnings and disclosed in the financial statements as long as the contracts remain classified as liabilities.
 
The fair value of the options was $1,926,914 as of September 30, 2007, calculated using the Black-Scholes model with the following assumptions: risk free rate of return of 4.05%; volatility of 126.94%; dividend yield of 0%; and expected term of 3.5 years.
 
The decrease in the fair value of the options was recorded by decreasing warrant liability on the balance sheet by $344,965.
 

 
F-35

 
Statement of Operations
 
Prior to the reclassification, the Company applied EITF 00-19, paragraph 9, which states that subsequent changes in fair value of contracts should not be recognized as long as the contracts continue to be classified as equity. Therefore, changes in the fair value of the options prior to the reclassification were not recorded. Subsequent to reclassifying the contracts as liabilities, the Company again followed the guidance of EITF 00-19, paragraph 9, which requires all contracts classified as liabilities to be measured at fair value, with changes in fair value reported in earnings as long as the contracts remain classified as liabilities.
 
From July 17 to September 30, 2007, the fair value of the options decreased by $344,965.  This amount is included in decrease in warrant liability in the other income (expense) section of the statement of operations.
 
Statement of Cash Flows
 
The change in the statement of cash flows was the result of the decrease of $344,965 in the fair value the options.
 
The reclassification of the options from additional paid-in capital to warrant liabilities was a non-cash transaction.
 
Advisory Board Compensation
 
On October 1, 2004, the Company formed an advisory board consisting of four members. In exchange for his services, each member was to receive $5,000 monthly from October 1, 2004 to February 22, 2007, for a total of $576,000 to be paid to all members. Each member, in his sole discretion, was entitled to convert some or all of the cash amount owed to him into shares of Common Stock at a rate of $0.05 per share. If all of the members of the advisory board converted the total amount of cash compensation due to them into shares of Common Stock, the Company would be required to issue 11,520,000 shares.  The Company determined that: the accrued expense, embedded beneficial conversion features, embedded beneficial conversion feature discount, and related amortization expense were not recorded at the date of issuance or prior to the restatement.  No payments have been made to any advisory board members and there has been no conversion by any advisory board members of the accrued liability into shares of Common Stock.
 
Balance Sheet
 
The Company began the analysis for the restatement by applying paragraph 6 of SFAS 133 to ascertain if the embedded beneficial conversion features were derivatives at the date of issuance. The embedded beneficial conversion features had one or more underlings and one or more notional amounts, required no initial investment, and required or permitted net settlement. Therefore, the embedded beneficial conversion features were determined to be within the scope and definition of a derivative at the date of issuance. Next, the Company followed the guidance of SFAS 133, paragraph 12, to determine if the embedded beneficial conversion features should be bifurcated from the accrued expense. The Company determined that: the economic characteristics of the embedded beneficial conversion features are not clearly and closely related to the accrued expense, the embedded beneficial conversion feature and accrued expense are not remeasured at fair value at each balance sheet date and a separate contract with the same terms would be a derivative pursuant to SFAS 133, paragraphs 6-11. Therefore, the embedded beneficial conversion features were bifurcated from the accrued expense to determine the classification and valuation. To determine the classification, the Company followed the guidance of EITF 00-19, paragraphs 7 and 8 which states that contracts that require settlement in shares are equity instruments. To determine the value, the Company followed the guidance of EITF 00-19, paragraph 9, which states that contracts that require the company to deliver shares as part of a physical settlement or net-share settlement should be initially measured at fair value.  The Company next followed the guidance of EITF 00-19, paragraph 19, which states that if a company is required to obtain shareholder approval to increase the company’s authorized shares in order to net-share or physically settle a contract, share settlement is not controlled by the company, and the contract is required to be classified as a liability. The Company next applied EITF 00-19, paragraph 10, which states that if classification changes as the result of an event, the contract should be reclassified as of the date of the event at fair value. The event responsible for the change in classification was the issuance of the Convertible Debentures on July 17, 2007.

The fair value of the monthly embedded beneficial conversion features was calculated using the Black-Scholes model with the following assumptions: risk free rate of return of 2.28% to 5.21%; volatility of 144.19% to 270.5%; dividend yield of 0% and expected term of 5 years. The sum of the monthly accrued expenses and embedded beneficial conversion features from October 1, 2004 to September 30, 2006, was $480,000 and $210,149, respectively, and considered earned prior to October 1, 2006. Therefore, as of September 30, 2006, $480,000 was recorded to accrued expenses and deficit accumulated during development stage, $210,149 was recorded to beneficial conversion features liability and netted against accrued expenses as a discount, and $49,192 was recorded to accrued expenses and deficit accumulated during development stage for the amortization of the beneficial conversion features discount.
 
The fair value of the monthly embedded beneficial conversion features was $480,000 as of September 30, 2006, which the Company calculated using the Black-Scholes model with the following assumptions: risk free rate of return of 4.91%; volatility of 270.5%; dividend yield of 0%; and expected term of 3.08 to 5 years. The increase in the fair value of the embedded beneficial conversion feature was recorded by increasing beneficial conversion feature liability and deficit accumulated during development stage on the balance sheet by $269,851.
 
During the year ended September 30, 2007, the Company incurred and recorded to accrued expenses $96,000 for advisory board compensation until February 22, 2007, the date the Company’s Board of Directors terminated the compensation. The fair value of the monthly embedded beneficial conversion features was calculated using the Black-Scholes model with the following assumptions: risk free rate of return of 4.94% to 5.09%; volatility of 268.59% to 277.2%; dividend yield of 0% and expected term of 5 years. The sum of the embedded beneficial conversion features from October 1, 2006 to February 22, 2007 was $91,956 and was recorded to beneficial conversion features liability and netted against accrued expenses. As of September 30, 2007, total amortization for the beneficial conversion features discount was $106,546 ($49,192 from October 1, 2004 to September 30, 2006, and $57,354 for the year ended September 30, 2007), and was recorded to accrued expenses.
 
The fair value of the monthly embedded beneficial conversion features was $576,000 as of September 30, 2007, which the Company calculated using the Black-Scholes model with the following assumptions: risk free rate of return of 4.05%; volatility of 126.94%; dividend yield of 0%; and expected term of 2.08 to 4.42 years.
 
The increase in the fair value of the embedded beneficial conversion feature was recorded by increasing beneficial conversion features liability on the balance sheet by $4,044.
 
Statement of Operations
 
The Company followed the guidance of EITF 00-19, paragraph 9, which requires all contracts classified as liabilities to be measured at fair value, with changes in fair value reported in earnings as long as the contracts remain classified as liabilities.
 
The increase in the fair value of the beneficial conversion features was $4,044 and included in increase in beneficial conversion feature in the other income (expense) section of the statement of operations.
 
The amortization expense for the beneficial conversion feature discount was $57,354 and included in general and administrative expenses in the operating expenses section of the statement of operations for the year ended September 30, 2007.
 
Statement of Cash Flows
 
Changes in the statement of cash flows were the result of the advisory board compensation accrued expense of $480,000 and $96,000, beneficial conversion features liability of $576,000 and unamortized beneficial conversion features discount of $380,441 on the balance sheet, and change in fair value of the liability of $269,851 and $4,044 and amortization of the beneficial conversion features discount of $49,193 on the statement of operations.

Warrants Related to 2004 Stock Purchase Agreement
 
Under the terms of a 2004 Stock Purchase Agreement, the Company issued warrants to purchase 1,463,336 shares of Common Stock at an exercise price of $0.03 which expired between February 9, 2007 and August 25, 2007. The Company determined that the warrants and related expense were not recorded at the date of issuance or prior to the restatement and there has been no exercise of the warrants into shares of Common Stock.
 
Balance Sheet
 
The Company followed the guidance of SFAS 133, paragraph 6, to determine if the warrants were within the scope and definition of a derivative at the date of issuance. The warrants had one or more underlings and one or more notional amounts, required no initial investment and required or permitted net settlement. Therefore, the warrants were determined to be derivatives at the date of issuance. In order to determine how to classify the warrants, the Company followed the guidance of EITF 00-19, paragraphs 7 and 8, which state that contracts which require settlement in shares are equity instruments. In order to determine the value of the options, the Company followed the guidance of EITF 00-19, paragraph 9, which states that contracts which require the company to deliver shares as part of a physical settlement or net-share settlement should be initially measured at fair value.
 
The fair value of the warrants was $24,367 at the date of issuance, which the Company calculated using the Black-Scholes model with the following assumptions: risk free rate of return of 1.21% to 2.14%; volatility of 141.91% to 170.27%; dividend yield of 0% and expected term of 3 years. The warrants were considered an expense prior to October 1, 2006, therefore, $24,367 was recorded to additional paid-in capital and deficit accumulated during development stage.
 
The Company then applied EITF 00-19, paragraph 19, which states that if a company is required to obtain shareholder approval to increase the company’s authorized shares in order to net-share or physically settle a contract, share settlement is not controlled by the company and the contract is required to be classified as a liability. The Company applied EITF 00-19, paragraph 10, which states that if a classification changes as the result of an event, the contract should be reclassified as of the date of the event at fair value. The event responsible for the change in classification was the issuance of the Convertible Debentures on July 17, 2007.
 
In accordance with EITF 00-19, the warrants were reclassified as of July 17, 2007 from additional paid-in capital to warrant liabilities on the balance sheet at the fair value of $70,029, which the Company calculated using the Black-Scholes model with the following assumptions: risk free rate of return of 5.02%; volatility of 219.89%; dividend yield of 0%; and expected term of .08 years.
 
The Company then applied EITF 00-19, paragraph 9, which states that all contracts classified as liabilities are to be measured at fair value at each balance sheet date, with changes in fair value reported in earnings and disclosed in the financial statements as long as the contracts remain classified as liabilities.
 
The Company determined that the fair value of the warrants was $0 as of September 30, 2007, due to their expiration.
 
The $70,029 decrease in the fair value of the warrants was recorded to warrant liability.
 
Statement of Operations
 
Prior to the reclassification, the Company followed EITF 00-19, paragraph 9, which states that subsequent changes in the fair value of contracts should not be recognized as long as the contracts continue to be classified as equity. Therefore, changes in the fair value of the warrants prior to the reclassification were not recorded. Subsequent to reclassifying the warrants as liabilities, the Company again followed EITF 00-19, paragraph 9, which requires all contracts classified as liabilities to be measured at fair value, with changes in fair value reported in earnings as long as the contracts remain classified as liabilities.
 
The change in the fair value of the warrants from July 17, 2007 to September 30, 2007 was $70,029 and is included in decrease in warrant liability in the other income (expense) section of the statement of operations.
 

 
F-38

 

Statement of Cash Flows
 
Changes in the statement of cash flows were the result of the change in fair value of the warrants of $70,029 on the statement of operations.
 
The reclassification of the warrants from additional paid-in capital to warrant liability was a non-cash transaction.
 
Beneficial Conversion Features
 
As of September 30, 2007, the Company had Convertible Notes outstanding totaling $1,861,000 that were issued between October 17, 2006 and July 17, 2007. The convertible notes included an embedded beneficial conversion feature that allowed the holders of the convertible notes to convert their notes into Common Stock shares at rates between $0.01 and $0.22. The convertible notes mature between June 17, 2008 and December 31, 2008. The convertible notes accrue interest at rates between 8% and 10%, and any accrued but unpaid interest is also convertible by the holder of the convertible notes into shares of Common Stock at the same rate.
 
Balance Sheet
 
On the date of issuance, the Company applied SFAS 133, paragraph 6 to determine if the embedded beneficial conversion features were within the scope and definition of a derivative. The embedded beneficial conversion features: had one or more underlings and one or more notional amounts, required no initial investment and required or permitted net settlement. Therefore, the embedded beneficial conversion features were determined to be derivatives. Next, the Company followed the guidance of SFAS 133, paragraph 12 to determine if the embedded beneficial conversion features should be bifurcated from the convertible notes. The Company determined that: the economic characteristics of the embedded beneficial conversion features are not clearly and closely related to the convertible notes; the embedded beneficial conversion feature and convertible notes are not remeasured at fair value at each balance sheet date; and a separate contract with the same terms would be a derivative pursuant to SFAS 133, paragraphs 6-11. Therefore, the embedded beneficial conversion features were bifurcated from the convertible notes to determine the classification and valuation. The Company followed the guidance of paragraphs 7 and 8 of EITF 00-19, which state that contracts that require settlement in shares are to be classified as equity instruments. The Company then applied paragraph 9 of EITF 00-19 to determine the value of the embedded beneficial conversion features.  Paragraph 9 of EITF 00-19 states that contracts which require the company to deliver shares as part of a physical settlement or net-share settlement should be initially measured at fair value. Based on the analysis at the date of issuance, the embedded beneficial conversion features were recorded in additional paid-in capital at fair value on the date of issuance.
 
The fair value of the embedded beneficial conversion features was $1,021,569 computed using the Black-Scholes model with the following assumptions: risk free rate of return of 6%; volatility of 122.67% to 195.97%; dividend yield of 0% and expected term of 1 to 1.5 years.  The embedded beneficial conversion features discount was $706,186 as of September 30, 2007, net of amortization of $315,383, prior to the restatement.
 
The Company began the analysis for the restatement by applying SFAS 133, paragraph 6, to ascertain if the embedded beneficial conversion features remained derivatives as of September 30, 2007. All of the criteria in the original analysis were met, and the embedded beneficial conversion features issued were determined to be within the scope and definition of a derivative. The Company followed the guidance of SFAS 133, paragraph 12, to determine if the embedded beneficial conversion features should be bifurcated from the convertible notes. All of the criteria in the original analysis were met, and the embedded beneficial conversion features were bifurcated from the convertible notes. In order to determine the classification of the embedded conversion features, the Company applied paragraphs 7 and 8 of EITF 00-19. Paragraph 7 states that contracts which require net-cash settlement are liabilities, and paragraph 8 states that contracts which give the counterparty (holders of the convertible notes) a choice of net-cash settlement or settlement in shares are liabilities. Therefore the embedded conversion features were determined to be liabilities. The change in the determination of the classification from equity to a liability was based on the contractual right granted to the holders of the convertible notes to convert the notes to shares of Common Stock. Therefore, share settlement is not controlled by the Company. In order to determine the value of the embedded conversion features, the Company followed the guidance of EITF 00-19, paragraph 9, which states that all contracts classified as liabilities are to be measured at fair value at each balance sheet date, with changes in fair value reported in earnings and disclosed in the financial statements as long as the contracts remain classified as liabilities.

The fair value of the embedded beneficial conversion features was recalculated and determined to be $1,430,812 at the date of issuance using the Black-Scholes model with the following assumptions: risk free rate of return of 2.02% to 5.09%; volatility of 108.5% to 274.86%; dividend yield of 0% and expected term of 1 to 1.5 years. Based on the recalculation, the embedded beneficial conversion features discount was $779,300 at September 30, 2007, net of amortization of $651,511, subsequent to the restatement.
 
The increase in the fair value of $409,242 ($1,430,811-$1,021,569) of the embedded beneficial conversion features was recorded to the beneficial conversion features and netted against convertible notes on the balance sheet. The increase in the amortization of the beneficial conversion features discount of $336,129 ($651,511-$315,382) was recorded to convertible notes.
 
The fair value of the embedded beneficial conversion features was $1,430,812 as of September 30, 2007, which was calculated using the Black-Scholes model with the following assumptions: risk free rate of return of 4.05%; volatility of 126.94%; dividend yield of 0% and expected term of .58 to 1.25 years.
 
Statement of Operations
 
Prior to the reclassification, the Company applied EITF 00-19, paragraph 9 which states that subsequent changes in fair value of contracts are not to be recognized as long as the contracts continue to be classified as equity. Therefore, the Company did not record changes in the fair value of the beneficial conversion features. Subsequent to reclassifying the beneficial conversion features, the Company again followed the guidance of paragraph 9 of EITF 00-19, which requires all contracts classified as liabilities to be measured at fair value, with changes in fair value reported in earnings as long as the contracts remain classified as liabilities. There was no change in the fair value of the beneficial conversion features from the date of issuance and September 30, 2007.
 
The increase in the amortization of the beneficial conversion features discount of $336,129 was included in interest expense in the other income (expense) section of the statement of operations.
 
Statement of Cash Flows
 
Changes in the statement of cash flows were the result of the change in the amortization of the beneficial conversion features discounts of $336,129 on the statement of operations.
 
Warrants related to Convertible Debentures
 
On July 17, 2007 the Company completed an offering of $1,025,000 of Convertible Debentures to a group of institutional and accredited investors which included warrants to purchase 2,795,454 shares of Common Stock (2,329,546 shares of Common Stock to holders of the Convertible Debentures and 465,908 shares of Common Stock as a placement fee) at an exercise price of $0.50 per share.
 
Balance Sheet
 
On the grant date, the Company applied SFAS 133, paragraph 6 to determine if the warrants were within the scope and definition of a derivative. The warrants: had one or more underlings and one or more notional amounts, required no initial investment and required or permitted net settlement. Therefore, the warrants were determined to be derivatives. In order to determine the classification of the warrants, the Company followed the guidance of paragraphs 7 and 8 of EITF 00-19, which state that contracts which require settlement in shares are equity instruments.  In order to determine the value of the warrants, the Company followed the guidance of paragraph 9 of EITF 00-19, which states that contracts which require the company to deliver shares as part of a physical settlement or net-share settlement are to be initially measured at fair value. In accordance with EITF 00-19, the warrants were recorded in additional paid-in capital at fair value on the date of issuance.
 

 
F-40

 

 
The fair value of the warrants was calculated as $340,583 ($304,259 attributable to the holders of the Convertible Debentures and $36,324 attributable to the placement fee) at the date of issuance prior to the restatement using the Black-Scholes model with the following assumptions: risk free rate of return of 6%; volatility of 122.67% to 195.97%; dividend yield of 0% and expected term of 5 years.
 
The Company began the analysis for the restatement by applying SFAS 133, paragraph 6 to ascertain if the warrants issued remained derivatives as of September 30, 2007. All of the criteria in the original analysis were met, and the warrants issued were determined to be within the scope and definition of a derivative. In order to determine the classification of the warrants, the Company followed the guidance of paragraph 19 of EITF 00-19, which states that if a company is required to obtain shareholder approval to increase the company’s authorized shares in order to net-share or physically settle a contract, share settlement is not controlled by the company and the contract is required to be classified as a liability. In order to determine the value of the warrants, the Company followed the guidance of paragraph 9 of EITF 00-19, which states that all contracts classified as liabilities are to be measured at fair value at each balance sheet date, with changes in fair value reported in earnings and disclosed in the financial statements as long as the contracts remain classified as liabilities.
 
Based on the change in the determination of the classification of the warrants, $340,583 was reclassified from additional paid-in capital to warrant liabilities.
 
The fair value of the warrants was recalculated and was determined to be $554,249 ($430,189 attributable to the holders of the Convertible Debentures and $124,060 attributable to the placement fee) at the date of issuance calculated using the Black-Scholes model with the following assumptions: risk free rate of return of 4.96% to 5.02%; volatility of 219.89% to 226.04%; dividend yield of 0% and expected term of 5 years.
 
The increase in the fair value of the warrants attributable to the holders of the Convertible Debentures was $125,930 ($430,189-$304,259) and was recorded to warrant liabilities and netted against convertible notes. The increase in the fair value of the warrants attributable to the placement fee was $87,736 ($124,060-$36,324) and was recorded in warrant liability and general and administrative expenses.
 
Based on the increase in the warrant discount, the amortization of warrant discount increased by $55,179, and was recorded to convertible notes.
 
The fair value of the warrants was determined to be $499,932 ($379,672 attributable to the holders of the Convertible Debentures and $120,260 attributable to the placement fee) as of September 30, 2007, which was calculated using the Black-Scholes model with the following assumptions: risk free rate of return of 4.05%; volatility of 126.94%; dividend yield of 0%; and expected term of 4.67 to 4.75 years.
 
The decrease in the fair value of the warrants was recorded by decreasing warrant liabilities on the balance sheet by $54,317 ($50,518 attributable to the holders of the Convertible Debentures and $3,799 attributable to the placement fee).
 
Statement of Operations
 
The Company followed the guidance of EITF 00-19, paragraph 9, which requires all contracts classified as liabilities to be measured at fair value, with changes in fair value reported in earnings as long as the contracts remain classified as liabilities. The change in the fair value of the warrants was $54,317 for the year ended September 30, 2007, and recorded in decrease in warrants in the other income (expense) section of the statement of operations.
 
The increase in the amortization of the warrant discount of $124,961 is included in interest expense in the other income (expense) section of the statement of operations.

Statement of Cash Flows
 
Changes in the statement of cash flows were the result of the decrease in the fair value of the warrant liability of $54,317, increase in the amortization of the warrant discount of $55,179 on the balance sheet, and the change in fair value of the warrants at the date of issuance of $87,736 on the statement of operations.
 
In addition to the analysis of the securities exercisable or convertible into Common Stock, the Company analyzed the classification of general and administrative expenses for the year ended September 30, 2007, and determined that research and development costs of $526,466, a legal settlement of $89,654 and income tax expense of $2,592 were incorrectly classified as general and administrative expenses.   See below for the specific line items affected in the statement of operations by the reclassification.
 
Table 1 shows the effect of each of the changes discussed above on the Company’s balance sheet, statement of operation, statement of equity, and statement of cash flows for the year ended September 30, 2007.

Under the terms of the separation agreement Mr. Papalian retained a five year option granted on December 19, 2007 to purchase 2,933,536 shares of Common Stock at an exercise price of $0.25 per share, and received a five year option to purchase up to 3,500,000 shares of Common Stock at an exercise price of $0.15 per share.

Termination of Chief Executive Officer
 
On February 26, 2009, the Company’s Board of Directors terminated Mr. James Houtz as our Chief Executive Officer. Mr. Houtz remains a director but not an officer of the Company.

NOTE 20 RESTATEMENT

As discussed in Note 17 – RESTATEMENT, the Company restated its September 30, 2007 financial statements in response to a comment letter from the Securities and Exchange Commission.  However, the restatement did not properly account for certain derivative transactions, and as discussed below, resulted in the Company restating its September 30, 2007 financial statements for a third time. Management also determined that the September 30, 2008 transactions were required to be restated to properly account for these derivative transactions.
 
The Company issued 25 secured convertible promissory notes between October 17, 2006 and February 27, 2007 for total proceeds to the Company of $750,000 (“Convertible Notes 1”). Convertible Notes 1 could be converted into shares of the Company’s common stock at a conversion price of $0.05 per share.  Convertible Notes 1 contained a provision that would automatically adjust the conversion price if equity securities or instruments convertible into equity securities were issued at a conversion price less than $0.05.

On June 6, 2007, the Company issued 5 convertible promissory notes for a total of $86,000 (“Convertible Notes 2”).  No warrants were issued in connection with Convertible Notes 2. Convertible Notes 2 matures on December 31, 2008, and are convertible into common stock at $0.01 per share.

As a result of the issuance of Convertible Notes 2, the conversion price for Convertible Notes 1 was adjusted down from $0.05 to $0.01.  The decrease in the conversion price increased the potential dilutive shares from 15,000,000 to 75,000,000, and this subsequently increased the total outstanding and potential dilutive shares over the authorized common share limit of 150,000,000.  Because there were insufficient authorized shares to fulfill all potential conversions, the Company should have classified all potentially dilutive securities as derivative liabilities as of June 6, 2007.  The Company researched its debt and equity instruments and determined that the potentially dilutive securities are as follows:

Warrants and Options
·  
Beneficial Conversion Feature

The Company analyzed the effect of the recalculation on the balance sheet and the statements of operations and cash flows as of September 30, 2008. The analysis and results were as follows:
 
Warrants and Options Liability

As of September 30, 2008, the Company had 42,849,099 warrants outstanding and 11,595,934 options outstanding that were vested at that date.

Balance Sheet

 
F-43

 

The Company determined that because there were not sufficient authorized shares available, the embedded conversion feature met the definition of a derivative based on Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, (SFAS 133) as of June 6, 2007.
 
At September 30, 2008, the Company determined the fair value of all warrants and options to be $5,340,837 and $1,528,408, respectively, using the Black-Scholes model with the following assumptions:

·  
risk free rate of return between 2.28% and 2.98%;
·  
volatility between 212% and 261%;
·  
dividend yield of 0%; and
·  
expected term between 2.45 years and 5.73 years.

Statement of Operations

For the year ended September 30, 2008, the Company recorded $832,889 as a loss on change in fair value of warrant and option liability.

Statement of Cash Flows
 
Changes in the statement of cash flows were the result of the decrease in fair value of the warrant and option liability of $832,889.

Beneficial Conversion Liability
 
As of September 30, 2007, the Company had $1,044,333 in convertible notes that could be converted into 68,686,176 shares.  During the period ended September 30, 2008, certain investors converted $151,512 of convertibles note into 3,787,792 common shares at $0.04 per share; however, the conversion rate should have been $0.01.  At September 30, 2008, the Company owes an additional 11,363,388 shares to the investors.  The Company recorded a liability of $1,590,874 which is recorded in accrued expenses in the accompanying financial statements.  The change in the fair value of the shares was recorded as a change in fair value of beneficial conversion liability.
 
Balance Sheet

The Company determined that because there were not sufficient authorized shares available, the embedded conversion feature met the definition of a derivative based on SFAS 133 as of June 6, 2007.

At September 30, 2008, the Company determined the fair value of the embedded conversion options to be $8,881,272 using the Black-Scholes model with the following assumptions:

·  
risk free rate of return of 1.78%;
·  
volatility between 142% and 148%;
·  
dividend yield of 0%; and
·  
expected term of 0.83 years to 1.25 years.

Statement of Operations

For the year ended September 30, 2008, the Company recorded an additional $20,339,995 as a gain on change in fair value of beneficial conversion liability.

Statement of Cash Flows
 
Changes in the statement of cash flows were the result of the $20,339,995 change in fair value of the beneficial conversion liability.

ITEM 9.
CHANGES IN AND DISAGREEMENTS WITH ACCOUNTANTS ONACCOUNTING AND FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE.

Not applicable.

ITEM 9A(T). 
CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.

Regulations under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 require public companies to maintain “disclosure controls and procedures,” which are defined to mean a company’s controls and other procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports that it files or submits under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the Commission’s rules and forms.

We conducted an evaluation, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the period covered by this report.  Based on that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that as of September 30, 2008, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective at the reasonable assurance level due to the material weaknesses described below.

A material weakness is a control deficiency (within the meaning of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (PCAOB) Auditing Standard No. 2) or combination of control deficiencies that result in more than a remote likelihood that a material misstatement of the annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected.  Management has identified the following three material weaknesses in our disclosure controls and procedures:

1.           We do not have written documentation of our internal control policies and procedures.  Written documentation of key internal controls over financial reporting is a requirement of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act.  Management evaluated the impact of our failure to have written documentation of our internal controls and procedures on our assessment of our disclosure controls and procedures and has concluded that the control deficiency that resulted represented a material weakness.

2.           We do not have sufficient segregation of duties within accounting functions, which is a basic internal control.  Due to our size and nature, segregation of all conflicting duties may not always be possible and may not be economically feasible.  However, to the extent possible, the initiation of transactions, the custody of assets and the recording of transactions should be performed by separate individuals.  Management evaluated the impact of our failure to have segregation of duties on our assessment of our disclosure controls and procedures and has concluded that the control deficiency that resulted represented a material weakness.

3.           We do not have review and supervision procedures for financial reporting functions. The review and supervision function of internal control relates to the accuracy of financial information reported. The failure to review and supervise could allow the reporting of inaccurate or incomplete financial information. Due to our size and nature, review and supervision may not always be possible or economically possible.  Management evaluated the impact of our significant number of audit adjustments and has concluded that the control deficiency that resulted represented a material weakness.

To address these material weaknesses, management performed additional analyses and other procedures to ensure that the financial statements included herein fairly present, in all material respects, our financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented.

Remediation of Material Weaknesses

We have retained the services of personnel with experience in financial reporting to assist us with the process of implementing internal controls to remediate these material weaknesses. Written documentation of the internal controls of financial reporting will be prepared after our material weaknesses have been eliminated and our disclosure controls and procedures are effective.

We anticipate that our internal controls will be implemented, tested, deficiencies remediated and documented by September 30, 2009.

Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting.  Internal control over financial reporting is defined in Rule 13a-15(f) or 15d-15(f) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 as a process designed by, or under the supervision of, a company's principal executive and principal financial officers and effected by a company's board of directors, management and other personnel, to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and includes those policies and procedures that:

-  Pertain to the maintenance of records that in reasonable detail accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company;

-  Provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and that receipts and expenditures of the Company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the Company; and

-  Provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of the Company's assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements.  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.  All internal control systems, no matter how well designed, have inherent limitations.  Therefore, even those systems determined to be effective can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation and presentation.  Because of the inherent limitations of internal control, there is a risk that material misstatements may not be prevented or detected on a timely basis by internal control over financial reporting. However, these inherent limitations are known features of the financial reporting process.  Therefore, it is possible to design into the process safeguards to reduce, though not eliminate, this risk.

As of September 30, 2008 management assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting based on the criteria for effective internal control over financial reporting established in Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission ("COSO") and SEC guidance on conducting such assessments.  Based on that evaluation, they concluded that, during the period covered by this report, such internal controls and procedures were not effective to detect the inappropriate application of US GAAP rules as more fully described below.  This was due to deficiencies that existed in the design or operation of our internal controls over financial reporting that adversely affected our internal controls and that may be considered to be material weaknesses.
 

 
24

 

 
The matters involving internal controls and procedures that our management considered to be material weaknesses under the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board were: (1) lack of written documentation of internal control policies and procedures; (2) inadequate segregation of duties consistent with control objectives; and (3) lack of review and supervision over period end financial disclosure and reporting processes.  The aforementioned material weaknesses were identified by our Chief Executive Officer in connection with the review of our financial statements as of September 30, 2008.

Management believes that the lack of documentation of internal controls did not have an effect on our financial results.  However, management believes that the lack of segregation of duties, and a lack of review and supervision of reporting could result in a material misstatement in our financial statements in future periods.

This annual report does not include an attestation report of the Corporation's registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting.  Management's report was not subject to attestation by the Corporation's registered public accounting firm pursuant to temporary rules of the SEC that permit the Corporation to provide only the management's report in this annual report.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
During the fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2008, the Company has not made any change to internal control over financial reporting that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
 
ITEM 9B.

Code of Ethics

The Company had not adopted a code of ethics as of September 30, 2008, however, a draft code of ethics has been prepared and is being reviewed by management.  The Company expects that a code of ethics will be adopted during the 2009 fiscal year.

Corporate Governance

Our board of directors does not have an audit committee, a compensation committee or a nominating committee.

We have not adopted any procedures by which our security holders may recommend nominees to our board of directors and that has not changed during this fiscal year.

With the exception of Marcus Woods, none of the members of our board of directors qualifies as an “audit committee financial expert”, as defined by Item 407 of Regulation S-K promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933 and the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.

(1) This amount was accrued but has not been paid.
(2) Other compensation is for automobile allowance.
(3) The value of the option was computed using the Black Scholes Option Pricing Model using the following assumptions: risk free interest rate of 3.22%; expected volatility of 99.86%; dividend yields of 0%; and expected term of 5 years.
(4) Robert McCray resigned as Chief Financial Officer on March 24, 2008. There were salary payments subsequent to the resignation.
(5) The value of the option was computed using the Black Scholes Option Pricing Model using the following assumptions: risk free interest rate of 3.26%; expected volatility of 98.01%; dividend yields of 0%; and expected term of 5 years. On November 11, 2008 we entered into an agreement with Mr. Papalian as part of his separation from service. Pursuant to the agreement, he agreed to forfeit 5,605,786 option shares.
(6) Marcus Woods was Chief Financial Officer from August 2008 to October 2008.
(7) The value of the option was computed using the Black Scholes Option Pricing Model using the following assumptions: risk free interest rate of 2.30%; expected volatility of 71.69%; dividend yields of 0%; and expected term of 5 years.

We have not had the resources to pay cash salaries to our executive officers.  On occasion, in lieu of cash, we have paid our executive officers with awards of stock options.  For example, during the 2008 fiscal year we granted an option to purchase 8,539,312 shares of our common stock to Richard Papalian in lieu of a cash salary.

When we are able to do so, our plan is to implement a compensation program consisting of base salary, bonuses and awards of stock options or, possibly, restricted stock.  We believe that a combination of cash and common stock or options will allow us to attract and retain the services of the individuals who will help us achieve our business objectives, thereby increasing value for our shareholders.  We grant options or restricted stock because we believe that share ownership by our employees is an effective method to deliver superior stockholder returns by increasing the alignment between the interests of our employees and our shareholders. No employee is required to own common stock in our company.

In setting the compensation for our officers, we look primarily at the person’s responsibilities, at salaries paid to others in businesses comparable to ours, at the person’s experience and at our ability to replace the individual.  We expect the salaries of our executive officers to remain relatively constant unless the person’s responsibilities are materially changed.  During the 2007 and 2008 fiscal years, we have accrued salaries for our executive officers.  It is not likely that we will be able to pay these salaries until we begin to generate cash from sales of our products or we arrange financing that will permit us to pay some or all of the amounts outstanding.
 

 
29

 

 
We also expect that we may pay bonuses in the future to reward exceptional performance, either by the individual or by the company.

The following table sets forth certain information concerning stock option awards granted to our executive officers as of September 30, 2008.  No options were exercised by our executive officers during the last fiscal year.

Employment Agreements

On September 30, 2003 we entered into an employment agreement with James J. Houtz.  The term of the agreement began on October 1, 2003 and continued until September 30, 2008.  Thereafter, the term continues on a month-to-month basis.  Pursuant to the terms of the agreement, Mr. Houtz provides services as our president and chief executive officer.  For his services, Mr. Houtz was initially paid $11,407.78 per month until October 1, 2004, when his compensation was increased by 8% per year.  Mr. Houtz initially received an automobile allowance of $1,288.65 per month, which is increased by 10% each year.  We also agreed to provide life insurance to Mr. Houtz in the face amount of $500,000 and disability insurance that would provide disability benefits to Mr. Houtz in an amount equal to one-half of his base salary until he reached 65 years of age.  We may terminate the agreement immediately for cause, or upon 30 days written notice.  The agreement will terminate automatically upon mutual agreement of the parties, at the election of either party upon the bankruptcy or insolvency of either party, upon Mr. Houtz’s death or, at the election of either party, upon Mr. Houtz’s disability, if such disability lasts for a period of at least 6 months.

ITEM 12. 
SECURITY OWNERSHIP OF CERTAIN BENEFICAL OWNERS ANDMANAGEMENT AND RELATED STOCKHOLDER MATTERS.

The following table sets forth, as of January 7, 2009, information regarding the beneficial ownership of our common stock with respect to each of our executive officers, each of our directors, each person known by us to own beneficially more than 5% of the common stock, and all of our directors and executive officers as a group.  Beneficial ownership is determined under the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission and generally includes voting or investment power over securities.  Each individual or entity named has sole investment and voting power with respect to the shares of common stock indicated as beneficially owned by them, subject to community property laws, where applicable, except where otherwise noted.
 

 
30

 
 
Shares of common stock subject to options or warrants that are currently exercisable or exercisable within 60 days of January 7, 2009 are considered outstanding and beneficially owned by the person holding the options or warrants for the purpose of computing the percentage ownership of that person but are not treated as outstanding for the purpose of computing the percentage ownership of any other person.

CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS AND DIRECTOR INDEPENDENCE.

Using the definition of “independent” set forth in Section 803A of the Rules of NYSE Alternext US, we have determined that 2 of our directors, John Pavia and Marcus Woods, are independent

On October 1, 2005 we entered into an employment agreement with Robert E. McCray.  The term of the agreement began on October 1, 2005 and continued until September 30, 2007.  Thereafter, the term continued on a month-to-month basis.  Pursuant to the terms of the agreement, Mr. McCray provided services as our chief financial officer.  For his services, Mr. McCray was initially paid $144,000 annually, after which his compensation was to be increased by 5% per year.  Mr. McCray also received an automobile allowance of $600 per month.  We were entitled to terminate the agreement immediately for cause, or upon 30 days written notice.  The agreement was to terminate automatically upon mutual agreement of the parties, at the election of either party upon the bankruptcy or insolvency of either party, upon Mr. McCray’s death or, at the election of either party, upon Mr. McCray’s disability, if such disability lasts for a period of at least 6 months.  We could also terminate the agreement without cause upon the payment of 3 months severance pay.  Mr. McCray resigned from his position as chief financial officer on March 24, 2008.

On November 7, 2007 we entered into a Stock Exchange Agreement with Rodney L. Anderson, Joey M. Anderson and Robert A. Hasson, the sole shareholders of RJ Metals, Inc. (collectively referred to in this discussion as the “Shareholders”). Pursuant to the Stock Exchange Agreement, we were to acquire from the Shareholders all of the issued and outstanding shares of RJ Metals, Inc. in exchange for issuing to the Shareholders a total of 3,400,000 shares of our common stock (the “Transaction”).  Mr. Rodney Anderson is a significant shareholder of RJ Metals, Inc. and one of our directors.  The Transaction was not consummated and on March 14, 2008 our board of directors approved, and we and the Shareholders entered into, a Termination Agreement. Pursuant to the Termination Agreement, the Share Exchange Agreement was terminated and the parties released each other and each of their officers, employees, principals and agents from any and all claims or demands incidental to the Share Exchange Agreement and the Transaction.

On October 8, 2008 we issued a Notice of Grant of Stock Option and a Stock Option Agreement to Mr. David Ross, a former director.  The stock option was authorized by the board of directors on December 13, 2007.  The option permits Mr. Ross to purchase 2,880,000 shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $0.25 per shares.  The option was fully vested on the date of grant and has a term of 5 years.  Pursuant to the stock option agreement, Mr. Ross agreed not to sell any shares of common stock acquired upon exercise of his option prior to December 13, 2008.  On December 13, 2007, the fair value of the option was $519,235 at the date of grant and was calculated using the Black-Scholes option valuation model with the following assumptions: risk free interest rate of 3.22%, expected volatility of 99.86%, dividend yields of 0% and expected term of 5 years.

On October 14, 2008, we entered into an agreement with RJ Metal Co., a company controlled by one of our directors, Rodney Anderson, to purchase equipment valued at $125,000 in consideration of an aggregate of 833,334 shares of our common stock.  Mr. Anderson received 300,000 of the shares issued.  The market value of our common stock on October 14, 2008 was $0.13 per share.

On November 11, 2008, we entered into a Termination, Separation and Release Agreement (the “Separation Agreement”) with Richard H. Papalian, our former chief executive officer, pursuant to which we and Mr. Papalian mutually agreed to terminate Mr. Papalian’s Employment Agreement dated December 19, 2007, and agreed that such termination would be deemed neither a termination by us for “Cause” nor a termination by Mr. Papalian for “Good Reason”, as those terms are defined in the Employment Agreement, and agreed to a mutual general release of any claims arising from Mr. Papalian’s service as an officer and director.  Mr. Papalian agreed to forfeit all unvested stock options granted to him pursuant to the Notice of Grant of Stock Option dated December 19, 2007, leaving him with a vested option to purchase 2,933,526 shares of our common stock at an exercise price $0.25 per share, after giving effect to anti-dilution adjustments to which Mr. Papalian was entitled pursuant to his Stock Option Agreement dated December 19, 2007.  In addition, we agreed to grant Mr. Papalian a fully vested 5-year option to purchase 3,500,000 shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $0.15 per share in consideration of Mr. Papalian’s acceptance of the Separation Agreement. The fair value of the option on November 11, 2008 was $238,244 at the date of grant and was calculated using the Black-Scholes option valuation model with the following assumptions: risk free interest rate of 1.16%, expected volatility of 89.31%, dividend yields of 0% and expected term of 5 years.

On February 21, 2008, we entered into a one year Consulting Agreement with Dr. John H. Foster, Ph.D., who was the chairman of our board of directors on that date.  Pursuant to the Consulting Agreement, Dr. Foster will (i) actively assist in the testing and demonstration of our water purification product on site at the Villa Park Dam in Irvine, California; (ii) attend technical meetings, demonstrations and trade shows in support of our business; (iii) prepare grant applications and white papers as technological and scientific results are confirmed; and (iv) act in our best interests and aid in our day-to-day operations for a minimum of 5 days per month, after which we will pay Dr. Foster an hourly rate of $250 per hour.  The term of the Consulting Agreement is from January 1, 2008 until January 1, 2009 (the “Term”).

As compensation for the services, we will pay Dr. Foster:

(i) so long as we raise at least $250,000 in gross proceeds from an equity financing or series of equity financings occurring on or after December 31, 2007 and before the end of the Term, for services performed from January 1 until June 1, 2008, $10,000 per month payable on the first day of each month during such period; and

(ii) so long as we raise at least $500,000 in gross proceeds (including the $250,000 referred to above) from an equity financing or series of equity financings occurring on or after December 31, 2007 and before the end of the Term: (i) a one time payment of $30,000 for services performed from October 1, 2007 through December 31, 2007, and (ii) for services performed from July 1 until December 31, 2008, $10,000 per month payable on the first day of each month during such period.

In addition, in consideration of Dr. Foster’s efforts in bringing about a definitive licensing, manufacturing, distribution, purchase order or substantially similar agreement between us and Primon, an Ireland based company in the business of water purification, or any of its affiliates, during the Term or within six months thereafter, Dr. Foster will receive, regardless of the termination of the Consulting Agreement, 2.5% of the royalty payments or other amounts received by us from Primon pursuant to the agreement, until Dr. Foster has received $2,500,000 in such commissions, after which we will have no further obligation to pay such commissions.

Pursuant to the Consulting Agreement, we also agreed to carry forward the debt incurred to Dr. Foster in the amount of $144,000 for services rendered during the time Dr. Foster served as a member of our board of advisors, which will be payable at the earlier of September 30, 2010 or the date on which we show on our balance sheet as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission at least $1.5 million in working capital and the closing price of our common stock has been at least $1.25 for at least 15 consecutive trading days.  This obligation will survive the termination of the Consulting Agreement.

In addition, on February 21, 2008, pursuant to a Notice of Grant of Stock Option and a Stock Option Agreement (the “Option Agreement”), we granted to Dr. Foster a 5-year fully vested option to purchase 2,880,000 shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $0.25 per share.  The option may be exercised on a cashless basis.  Pursuant to the Option Agreement, Dr. Foster agreed not to sell any shares of common stock acquired upon exercise of his option prior to December 13, 2008, which is the one year anniversary of the date the option was authorized by our board of directors.  On December 13, 2007, the date of authorization by the board of directors, the fair value of the option was $519,235 at the date of grant and was calculated using the Black-Scholes option valuation model with the following assumptions: risk free interest rate of 3.22%, expected volatility of 99.86%, dividend yields of 0% and expected term of 5 years.

Dr. Foster resigned from our board of directors on October 15, 2008.

On February 21, 2008, we entered into a one year Consulting Agreement with Dr. W. Richard Laton who was, at the time, a member of our board of directors.  Pursuant to the Consulting Agreement, Dr. Laton will (i) actively assist in the testing and demonstration of our water purification product on site at the Villa Park Dam in Irvine, California; (ii) attend technical meetings, demonstrations and trade shows in support of the Registrant’s business; (iii) prepare grant applications and white papers as technological and scientific results are confirmed; and (iv) act in our best interests and aid in our day-to-day operations for a minimum of 5 days per month, after which we will pay Dr. Laton an hourly rate of $250 per hour.  The term of the Consulting Agreement is from January 1, 2008 until January 1, 2009 (the “Term”).

As compensation for the services, we agreed to pay Dr. Laton:

(i) so long as we raise at least $250,000 in gross proceeds from an equity financing or series of equity financings occurring on or after December 31, 2007 and before the end of the Term, for services performed from January 1 until June 1, 2008, $10,000 per month payable on the first day of each month during such period; and

(ii) so long as we raise at least $500,000 in gross proceeds (including the $250,000 referred to above) from an equity financing or series of equity financings occurring on or after December 31, 2007 and before the end of the Term: (i) a one time payment of $30,000 for services performed from October 1, 2007 through December 31, 2007, and (ii) for services performed from July 1 until December 31, 2008, $10,000 per month payable on the first day of each month during such period.

In addition, in consideration of Dr. Laton’s efforts in bringing about the Primon Agreement during the Term or within six months thereafter, Dr. Laton will receive, regardless of the termination of the Consulting Agreement, 5% of the royalty payments or other amounts received by us from Primon pursuant to the agreement, until Dr. Laton has received $5,000,000 in such commissions, after which we will have no further obligation to pay such commissions.

Pursuant to the Consulting Agreement, we also agreed to carry forward the debt incurred to Dr. Laton in the amount of $144,000 for services rendered during the time Dr. Laton served as a member of our board of advisors, which will be payable at the earlier of September 30, 2010 or the date on which we show on our balance sheet as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission at least $1.5 million in working capital and the closing price of our common stock has been at least $1.25 for at least 15 consecutive trading days.  This obligation will survive the termination of the Consulting Agreement.

In addition, on February 21, 2008, pursuant to a Notice of Grant of Stock Option and a Stock Option Agreement (the “Option Agreement”), we granted to Dr. Laton a 5-year fully vested option to purchase 2,880,000 shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $0.25 per share.  The option may be exercised on a cashless basis.  Pursuant to the Option Agreement, Dr. Laton agreed not to sell any shares of common stock acquired upon exercise of his option prior to December 13, 2008, which is the one year anniversary of the date the option was authorized by our board of directors.    On December 13, 2007, the date of authorization by the board of directors, the fair value of the option was $519,235 at the date of grant and was calculated using the Black-Scholes option valuation model with the following assumptions: risk free interest rate of 3.22%, expected volatility of 99.86%, dividend yields of 0% and expected term of 5 years.

Dr. Laton resigned from our board of directors on July 16, 2008.

On December 19, 2007, we entered into a one year Employment Agreement with Richard H. Papalian pursuant to which Mr. Papalian was appointed as our chief executive officer and was elected to fill a vacancy on our board of directors.  Mr. Papalian did not receive a cash salary or any fringe benefits under the Employment Agreement.  Instead, pursuant to a Notice of Grant of Stock Option and a Stock Option Agreement dated December 19, 2007, we granted Mr. Papalian a five year option to purchase up to 8,539,312 shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $0.25 per share, which represented 5% of the outstanding shares of our common stock on a fully diluted basis.  The option was subject to the following vesting conditions: (i) 30% of the option vested upon the grant date; (ii) 20% of the option was to vest when our market capitalization exceeded $50 million for fifteen consecutive trading days; (iii) 30% of the option was to vest when our market capitalization exceeded $75 million for fifteen consecutive trading days; and (iv) 20% of the option was to vest when our market capitalization exceeded $100 million for fifteen consecutive trading days.

We also entered into an Indemnification Agreement with Mr. Papalian on December 19, 2007.  The Indemnification Agreement provides for indemnification of Mr. Papalian to the extent he becomes a party or is threatened to be made a party to any legal proceeding by reason of his status as our officer or director, against any expenses incurred as a result of such proceeding, as and when such expenses are incurred.  Before any claim for indemnification is approved by us, we will determine by any of the methods set forth in the Nevada Revised Statutes that Mr. Papalian has met the applicable standards of conduct which make it permissible to indemnify him.

Mr. Papalian resigned as our chief executive officer on August 14, 2008 and as a member of our board of directors on November 11, 2008.
