Notes to Condensed Unaudited Financial Statements

Note 1 – Organization and Description of Business

Sionix Corporation (the "Company") was incorporated in Utah in 1996. 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 designs, develops, markets and sells turnkey stand-alone water management and treatment systems intended for use in several industries including oil & gas mining, agriculture, commercial, municipalities (both potable and wastewater), industry (both make-up water and wastewater), energy production and emergency response. As of February 10, 2011, our address for mailing purposes is 914 Westwood Blvd., Box 801, Los Angeles, California 90024. Our telephone number is (704) 971-8400, and our website is www.sionix.com.

Note 2 – Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

The accompanying unaudited condensed interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and the rules and regulations of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all the information and footnotes necessary for a comprehensive presentation of our financial position, results of operations, or cash flows. It is management's opinion, however, that all material adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) have been made which are necessary for a fair financial statement presentation.

The unaudited interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K, which contains the audited financial statements and notes thereto, together with the Management’s Discussion and Analysis, for the years ended September 30, 2010 and 2009. The interim results for the period ended December 31, 2010 are not necessarily indicative of results for the full fiscal year.

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.

Derivatives

Derivative instruments are recognized as either assets or liabilities and are measured at fair value. The accounting for changes in the fair value of a derivative depends on the intended use of the derivative and the resulting designation.

Fair Value Measurements

For certain of the Company’s financial instruments, including cash and cash equivalents, accounts payable, accrued expenses and short-term debt, the carrying amounts approximate fair value due to their short maturities. In addition, the Company has short-term debt with investors. The carrying amounts of the short-term liabilities approximate their fair value based on current rates for instruments with similar characteristics.

Revenue Recognition

Revenues from products sales are recorded when all four of the following criteria are met: (i) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists; (ii) delivery has occurred or services have been rendered; (iii) the Company's price to the buyer is fixed or determinable; and (iv) collectability is reasonably assured. The Company's policy is to report its sales levels on a net revenue basis, with net revenues being computed by deducting from gross revenues the amount of actual sales returns and the amount of reserves established for anticipated sales returns.

The Company's policy for shipping and handling costs, billed to customers, is to include it in revenue in accordance with ASC Topic 605, “Revenue Recognition,” which requires that all shipping and handling billed to customers should be recorded as revenue. Accordingly, the Company records its shipping and handling amounts within net sales and operating expenses.

The Company earned no revenues during the three months ended December 31, 2010 and earned revenues of $1,620,000 during the three months ended December 31, 2009.

Research and Development

The cost of research and development is expensed as incurred. Total research and development costs were $81,627 and $110,943 for the three months ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively.

Stock-Based Compensation

The costs of all employee stock options, as well as other equity-based compensation arrangements, are reflected in the financial statements based on the estimated fair value of the awards on the grant date. That cost is recognized over the period during which an employee is required to provide service in exchange for the award—the requisite service period (usually the vesting period). Stock compensation for stock granted to non-employees is determined as the fair value of the consideration received or the fair value of equity instruments issued, whichever is more reliably measured.

Earnings Per Share

Earnings per share is calculated in accordance with the ASC Topic 260, “Earnings Per Share.” Basic net income or loss per share is computed by dividing the net income or loss available to common stock holders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted net loss per share is based on the assumption that all dilutive convertible shares and stock options and warrants were converted or exercised. Dilution is computed by applying the treasury stock method. Under this method, options and warrants that are deemed “in the money” are assumed to be exercised at the beginning of the period (or at the time of issuance, if later), and as if funds obtained thereby were used to purchase common stock at the average market price during the period. Also, under this method, convertible notes are treated as if they were converted at the beginning of the period. The following is a reconciliation of the income (numerator) and number of shares (denominator) used in the basic and diluted earnings per share computations for the three months ended December 31, 2009. There was no difference between the basic and diluted weighted average shares or earnings for the three months ended December 31, 2010.

	For the Three Months Ended December 31, 2009
	Income (Numerator)			Weighted Average Number of Shares (Denominator)		Amount per Share

Basic Earnings Per Share
Income common stockholders	$	4,738,245			148,314,046	$	0.03

Effect of Dilutive Securities
Adjustment - gain on "in the money" warrants		(781,360	)		1,871,053
Adjustment - gain on debt conversions and interest, net		(848,803	)		16,866,359

Diluted Earnings Per Share
Adjusted income available to common stockholders	$	3,108,082			167,051,458	$	0.02

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

In October 2009, the FASB issued ASU No. 2009-14, Software (Topic 985) – Certain Revenue Arrangements That Include Software Element, a Consensus of the FASB Emerging Issues Task Force, to address concerns relating to the accounting for revenue arrangements that contain tangible products and software. It requires a vendor to use vendor-specific objective evidence of selling price to separate deliverables in a multiple-element arrangement. The update will be effective prospectively for revenue arrangements entered into or materially modified in fiscal years beginning on January 1, 2011. We are currently evaluating the impact, if any, of adopting the update.

In January 2010, the FASB issued ASU No. 2010-06, “Improving Disclosures about Fair Value Measurements (“ASU 2010-06”). ASU 2010-06 amends ASC 820, “Fair Value Measurements” ("ASC 820") to require a number of additional disclosures regarding fair value measurements. The amended guidance requires entities to disclose the amounts of significant transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy and the reasons for these transfers, the reasons for any transfers in or out of Level 3, and information in the reconciliation of recurring Level 3 measurements about purchases, sales, issuances and settlements on a gross basis. The ASU also clarifies the requirement for entities to disclose information about both the valuation techniques and inputs used in estimating Level 2 and Level 3 fair value measurements. The amended guidance was effective for financial periods beginning after December 15, 2009, except the requirement to disclose Level 3 transactions on a gross basis, which became effective for financial periods beginning after December 15, 2010. ASU 2010-06 did not have a significant effect on the Company’s consolidated financial position or results of operations.

In July 2010, the FASB issued an accounting update to provide guidance to enhance disclosures related to the credit quality of a company's financing receivables portfolio and the associated allowance for credit losses. Pursuant to this accounting update, a company is required to provide a greater level of disaggregated information about its allowance for credit loss with the objective of facilitating users' evaluation of the nature of credit risk inherent in the company's portfolio of financing receivables, how that risk is analyzed and assessed in arriving at the allowance for credit losses, and the changes and reasons for those changes in the allowance for credit losses. The revised disclosures as of the end of the reporting period are effective for the Company beginning in the second quarter of fiscal 2011, and the revised discourses related to activities during the reporting period are effective for the Company beginning in the third quarter of fiscal 2011. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this accounting update on its financial disclosures.

Note 5 – Deferred Revenue

In June 2010, the Company received an order for a Mobile Water Treatment System (“MWTS”), which required a deposit. As of December 31, 2010, the Company completed its design and manufacture of the system and put the unit in place. As of December 31, 2010 and September 30, 2010, customer deposits were $648,000 and $300,000, respectively. Such deposits are classified as deferred revenue and reported net of related deferred costs of $28,168 and $0 at December 31, 2010 and September 30, 2010, respectively.

Note 6 – Notes Payable – Related Parties

The Company received advances in the form of unsecured promissory notes from stockholders in order to pay ongoing operating expenses. These notes bear interest at rates up to 10% and are due on demand. As of both December 31, 2010 and September 30, 2010, such notes payable amounted to $27,000. Accrued interest on the notes amounted to $16,176 and $15,486 at December 31, 2010 and September 30, 2010, respectively, and is included in accrued expenses. Interest expense on these notes for the three months ended December 31, 2010 and 2009 amounted to $690 and $2,696, respectively. No demand for payment has been made as of December 31, 2010.

Note 7 – Convertible Notes

At December 31, 2010 and September 30, 2010, convertible notes payable amounted to $1,459,073 and $1,470,776, respectively, net of discounts of $28,511 and $111,808, respectively. The notes bear interest at 10% - 12% per annum, and are convertible into common stock of the Company at $0.15 - $0.25 per share (as well as variable conversion rates as described below). The notes are due at various dates through July, 2011 and are unsecured.

During the year ended September 30, 2010, the Company issued $145,000 of convertible debentures that are convertible into common stock of the Company at variable conversion rates that provide a fixed rate of return to the note-holder. Under the terms of the notes, however, the Company could be required to issue additional shares in the event of default. The Company applied the provisions of ASC Topic 815, “Derivatives and Hedging” and determined that the conversion option should be bifurcated from the notes and valued separately. This conversion option has been recorded as a derivative liability, is being amortized over the terms of the related notes, and is carried at fair value in the accompanying balance sheet. During the three months ended December 31, 2010, the change in fair value of this derivative liability amounted to $5,557.

During the three months ended December 31, 2010, convertible note holders who were owed $98,000 (including interest) elected to convert their debt into 3,597,932 shares of common stock.

Note 8 – 10% Subordinated Notes

At both December 31, 2010 and September 30, 2010, subordinated notes amounted to $56,615. Such Subordinated Debentures (which are unsecured) matured on December 31, 2008, bear interest at the rate of 10% per annum, and are subordinated to certain notes described in Note 7, above.

The Company is seeking to renegotiate the terms of these notes. The Company has not received any demand for payment on these notes.

For the three months ended December 31, 2009, the accompanying Condensed Statements of Income reflect net income that is largely comprised of items that do not represent taxable income.

Note 10 – Stockholders’ Equity

The Company compared the fair value of the options immediately before and immediately after the amendments, and determined that the excess fair value of $36,542 should be recognized as compensation expense.

Note 11 – Going Concern

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 December 31, 2010, the Company has incurred cumulative losses of $26,829,658 including a net loss for the three months ended December 31, 2010 of $1,230,591. As the Company has limited cash flow from operations, its ability to maintain normal operations 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 costs and expenses. In order for the Company to meet its basic financial obligations, including salaries, debt service and normal operating expenses, it plans to sell additional units of its water treatment system, and 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.

As mentioned in Notes 6, 7, and 8, the Company has related party notes, convertible notes, and subordinated debentures that have matured. The Company is in the process of renegotiating the terms of the notes with the note holders to extend the maturity date. If the Company is unsuccessful in extending the maturity date, the Company may not be able to continue as a going concern. The Company is continuing its efforts to obtain customers for its products, expanding its sales efforts worldwide as well as expanding the industries it targets for possible customers. The Company also has future plans for additional products, and revisions to its current products. In support of this the Company plans to hire additional personnel who have the industry experience and the training so that they can be immediately effective in the building of the Company. The Company has also made changes to its manufacturing capabilities and believes that it can effectively outsource most if not all of its engineering, design, production and service to contract manufacturers and other professional firms. This would reduce costs and improve the quality of its products. It is also continuing to seek additional investment capital in the form of debt or equity to sustain continued operations, and considering certain changes to its capital structure to become more attractive to potential investors and business partners. Last, to manage these activities the Company hired new senior management who have the manufacturing, finance and public company experience necessary to manage the Company.

Note 12 – Subsequent Events

Settlement of an Obligation

Subsequent to the quarter ended December 31, 2010 the Company settled all claims with an attorney who previously represented Sionix, Robert J. Zepfel of Haddan & Zepfel, who filed a Complaint in the Superior Court of California, County of Orange (assigned Case No. 30-2010-00333941). Mr. Zepfel alleged claims for breach of contract and sought money damages. Mr. Zepfel's Complaint focused upon a fee agreement entered into July 2003. Mr. Zepfel claimed that as of the filing date $96,896 was due in fees, interest and penalties for non-payment. The Company and Mr. Zepfel settled the claim for $80,000 to be paid out over a period of approximately 10 months from the date of settlement.

PART I

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS.

The information in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q contains forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties, including statements regarding our capital needs, business strategy and expectations. Any statements contained in this report that are not statements of historical facts may be deemed to be forward-looking statements. In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by terminology such as may, will, should, expect, plan, intend, anticipate, believe, estimate, predict, potential or continue, the negative of such terms or other comparable terminology. Actual events or results may differ materially from those events or results included in the forward-looking statements. In evaluating these statements, you should consider various factors, including the risks outlined from time to time in the reports we file with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Some, but not all, of these risks include, among other things:

our inability to obtain the financing we need to continue our operations;

changes in regulatory requirements that adversely affect our business;

loss of our key personnel; and

risks over which we have no control, such as the general global downturn in the economy which may adversely affect spending by government agencies.

We do not intend to update forward-looking statements. You should refer to and carefully review the information in future documents we file with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Overview

Plan of Operation

During the next fiscal year we plan to continue marketing and selling our existing Mobile Water Treatment System ("MWTS") to potential domestic and international customers. We believe that we are now able to aggressively market our systems to a variety of private companies in several vertical markets including oil & gas, agriculture, manufacturing, health care and public water utilities. The demonstration of our MWTS working at our existing customer location will serve as a sales tool and a model for possible applications and installations. Now that we have obtained initial financing, as planned we are engaging in selective sales and promotional activities in connection with the operation of the unit, including media exposure. If the unit continues to operate successfully, we believe we can receive orders for operating units.

We are also continuing to consider alternative product designs to accommodate the different needs we are uncovering during our sales efforts. To support this we maintain our relationship with Pacific Advanced Civil Engineering ("PACE") for engineering support.

Results of Operations

Three Months Ended December 31, 2010 Compared to Three Months Ended December 31, 2009

Revenues for the three months ended December 31, 2010 and 2009 were $0 for the period ended December 31, 2010 as compared to $1,620,000 for the period ended December 31, 2009 as the Company recognized the revenue from the sale of the MWTS to Innovative Water Engineering. Revenue for the sale to Wenning Poultry has not yet been recognized.

The Company’s total operating expenses were $817,311 during the three months ended December 31, 2010, an increase of $446,744 or 121%, as compared to $370,567 for the three months ended December 31, 2009. General and administrative expenses were $649,610 during the three months ended December 31, 2010, an increase of $396,855 or 157%, as compared to $252,755 for the three months ended December 31, 2009. The increase in general and administrative expenses was due to increased wages and stock-related compensation related to new management personnel. Sales and marketing expenses of $84,270 for the three months ended December 31, 2010 (compared to zero for the prior period) are related to payment to certain vendors for sales support, as well as travel and related expenses. Research and development expenses were $81,627 during the three months ended December 31, 2010, a decrease of $29,316 or 26.4%, as compared to $110,943 for the three months ended December 31, 2009. The decrease is due to the focus on sales and marketing since current product is fully designed and functional. The Company also incurred interest costs related to our various notes in the amount of $105,192; this is an increase of $21,182 from the prior period when we reported interest costs of $84,010. Normal operations were limited by the lack of available cash from normal operations.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The Company had cash of $152,996 and $23,084 and at December 31, 2010 and September 30, 2010, respectively. The Company’s source of liquidity has been the sale of its securities and deposits received from orders for its water treatment systems. The Company has received an order for a new unit, and expects to receive additional orders for water treatment systems. 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 order it received in June 2010, no additional orders for the sale of water treatment systems currently exist. 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 December 31, 2010, approximately $1,871,000 in principal and interest of certain promissory notes issued by the Company were due or will be coming due on or before August 31, 2010, which is the latest maturity date of its existing notes.

During the three months ended December 31, 2010, the Company used $427,961 of cash in operating activities. Non-cash adjustments included $1,804 for depreciation, $58,695 for the amortization of beneficial conversion feature and debt discounts, $619,019 for share-based payments to consultants and employees, and $65,710 for a loss on settlement of debt. Cash provided by operating activities included $319,832 in deferred revenue and $151,114 in accounts payable. Cash used in operating activities included $121,571 in inventory, $73,919 in other current assets, and $223,611 in accrued expenses.

Investing Activities

During the three months ended December 31, 2010, the Company acquired property and equipment totaling $3,127, as compared to $0 during the three months ended December 31, 2009.

Financing Activities

Financing activities provided $561,000 to the Company during the three months ended December 31, 2010 and related to net proceeds from the sale of common stock. During the three months ended December 31, 2009, cash of $200,000 was provided by financing activities from borrowings.

As of December 31, 2010, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $26,829,658. 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.

Material Trends, Events or Uncertainties

The Company is not certain how the current economic downturn may affect its business. Because of the global recession, government agencies and private industry may not have the funds to purchase its water treatment systems. It may also be more difficult for the Company to raise capital in the current economic environment. Other than as discussed herein, the Company does not know of any material trends, events or uncertainties that may impact its operations in the future.

Going Concern

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 December 31, 2010, the Company has incurred cumulative losses of $26,829,658 including a net loss for the three months ended December 31, 2010 of $1,230,591. 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 costs 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.

As mentioned in Notes 6, 7 and 8, the Company has convertible notes and subordinated notes payable that have matured. The Company is in the process of renegotiating the terms of the notes with the note holders to extend the maturity date or to convert these notes into common stock. If the Company is unsuccessful in extending the maturity date, the Company may not be able to continue as a going concern.

Critical Accounting Policies

The discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations is based upon our unaudited condensed financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses. On an on-going basis, we evaluate our critical accounting policies and estimates. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. Our critical accounting policies and estimates are discussed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2010.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK.

As a smaller reporting company, we are not required to provide this disclosure.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.

(a) Disclosure 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 and is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures.

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 December 31, 2010, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective.

(b) Changes in internal control over financial reporting

During the three months ended December 31, 2010, the Company did not make any changes to internal control over financial reporting that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II

ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS.

During the period ended December 31, 2010, Ascendiant Capital Group, LLC (the “Claim Holder”) sued the Company in Orange County Superior Court (the “Litigation”) for failure to repay approximately $1,892,352 in debt owed by the Company to the Claim Holder. This debt was incurred by the Company in the ordinary course of its business and was subsequently acquired from the original creditors by the Claim Holder. On November 24, 2010, the Company and the Claim Holder entered into a Settlement Agreement pursuant to which the Company agreed to issue 5,800,000 shares of its common stock to the Claim Holder in exchange for extinguishment of the claims against the Company and dismissal of the Litigation. On December 17, 2010, the presiding judge in the Litigation entered an Order Approving Settlement of Claim (the “Order”), pursuant to which the Settlement Agreement became binding on the Company and the Claim Holder, and, on December 17, 2010, the Settlement Shares were issued to the Claim Holder.

The terms and conditions of the issuance of the Settlement Shares were approved, after a hearing upon the fairness of such terms and conditions at which the Claim Holder had the right to appear. The issuance of the Settlement Shares was exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933 pursuant to Section 3(a)(10) of such Act.
