For some reason I thought that I was on to something, back in '06, that should have been a diamond-in-the-ruff but proved to be a worthless piece of dull glass; as this company has proven to be. Oh well, live to learn.
It's too bad that Hanna didn't approach the growth of LYJN differently; like, starting private with a few investors to reach this present stage of production/distribution and then issued an IPO. I can't imagine what the potential pps would be? Just dreaming...
I was reading another board's dialogue between a couple of posters and one reply could have applied to my view of LYJN. To paraphrase a portion of the post, to apply to LYJN: I am not trying to "pump the stock" as "one might" call it. I am very much for the "fashion/market concept" which the management of LYJN has described, and I favor and support its realization.

Understand the competitive market regarding items sold at Wally's. That is not a premium-goods market segment. You get what you pay for. Compare the goods distributed to Wally's to the LC goods, along with price. Apples and oranges... with the quality issue, imho.
FWIW: XsunX Business and Technology Update Newsletter
Aliso Viejo, CA- Nov 7, 2011
Good morning,
In this newsletter we are providing an update to progress with the build of our multi-chamber CIGS evaporator - a topic we receive inquiries about regularly.
First we will provide a little background on how we are approaching the build. Instead of using a single source vendor to build and provide a turn-key package, we elected to divide various aspects and component groups of the system between multiple qualified vendors. The components would then be delivered to us for final assembly. The benefit to this approach is that it allows us to more closely control or make improvements to our designs, the fabrication, and costs at the point of supply.
Working in this manner with vendors, we were able to integrate what we believe to be substantial improvements to our backside substrate heater and material transport system. Each of these components needs to perform specific tasks very accurately, and at the same time everything in a system periodically needs to be serviced. So we devised an integrated assembly that can deliver the performance we demand and can be removed, replaced, or serviced as a package that simply and easily slides in or out of the system. We believe that this particular feature will make the tool easier to service in a commercial environment, and help to reduce operating costs.
Another area where we believe that vendor collaboration has helped was with modifications to the main processing chamber. This modified design greatly reduced the cost for the main chamber while simultaneously allowing us to continue to create the same multiple processing environments as we had originally developed. The change also opened the system up to allow for rapid and inexpensive modifications to individual chambers that will enable us to continue to improve process specifications in the future.
Progress is also occurring with our patent-pending evaporation crucible and heater assembly with the delivery of core components several weeks back. For those not familiar with what a crucible is: imagine a small pot with a lid and small hole that allows steam to escape This is a simple concept, but tremendously complicated when you are heating copper to over 1,400 degrees Celsius and must maintain the exact amount of energy in your vapor to produce the ideal film uniformity on your solar cell.
One of the significant design benefits of our crucible system, and a patent claim, is the ability to apply adjustments to the location of the crucibles in the system. Typically you have to re-machine major components to accomplish this task- if at all. The reason we developed this feature was to allow our system to adapt new process techniques for system and conversion efficiency improvements - an important business goal for our technology licensing model. Using this feature, we slightly increased the size of the chamber assembly allowing us to test adjustments to the source location that we believe may allow us to increase system throughput by as much as 50%. We are excited about this potential.
As you can see from some of our comments above, we have benefited from introducing what we believe will be significant improvements to various aspects of the system and we will provide more detailed information as progress continues.
Thanks for your time and interest.
Have a great week,
The XsunX Team

Montanore, hear-hear!
IMHO, when some one places money in LYJN through the purchase of the company's stock, it says that that certain someone is confident the company is going to advance and ultimately complete the task at hand. An earlier post mentioned that "we have a right to be informed"; not here, again imo. These are the pinks. Full reporting is mandatory on the big-name boards as far as I know. An investor's stock picking precision is definitely hit or miss here OTC, with unfortunately most misses. That's why most brokers shun this arena. With that all said and done, LYJN will triumph; in her own time. GLTA
Rustler, I wish I knew or understood Hanna's thought process; why she handles the company's business the way she does? Only Hanna and God knows. The other influence that makes me partial to LYJN, however, is Hanna's personal/familial background. I'm gambling on integrity too, with Hanna. Who knows, I could be proven wrong. Most families do have sheep who stray from the flock. I'm hoping that is not the case here. My glass is still half-full. We'll see.
Imagine,those most recent shareholders, if they'd been following the company sine '06, what their opinions would be... They probably would have been thinking BK probably around '08 and guessing that the company wouldn't have made it to '09. But, here we stand, still breathing. IMO any correspondence/dialogue with the SEC about this company would prove futile because there are so many others out there that not only not bother to maintain an active IR department, but don't have a real product to offer either. At least there is real inventory and a network to manufacture and deliver the goods. GL Longs.
All together now... Can we say Speculative Play? Because that is what LYJN is. The many disappointments are somewhat understandable. But, be aware of the arena in which you are playing. You are in Penny-stock Land! I'm not going to throw the pinkie label this time because there are many Top Tier Pinkie Companies who do report regularly and stay in touch with their investors. But we have put money into a company the we already knew didn't report or maintain a rapport with its investors. So whose fault is it for the losses of investing here? It certainly is not LYJN's, IMHO. Unfortunately, some bought in high, during this stock's decline which we are still in but now want to cry foul. The only losses that will be seen will occur at the time of the sale at a loss. Consider it an early withdrawal penalty. I'm staying for the term. Who knows? The company could indeed fail, but it's a speculative play. GLTYA
IMHO, Hanna has created extreme value within this company; and should some one or entity decide to pursue a takeover of the company, the true value of LYJN would be revealed despite the present share price. From the creation of Lyric Jeans Inc., the first pair of Lyric Jeans (although negligible), to the leather apparel, Lyric Culture, the American Pie Tee (to present repertoire), Lyrix, Lyric Nation, the jewelry, the distribution network (retailers; don't forget the overseas market), and the pending series... Oh! I forgot about the exclusive licensing deals of the many songs available to LYJN. Could these mentioned items not be considered value builders for the company? What value could this company be potentially worth? I truly do not believe that I've been scammed. Those who joined the ranks since March 2010 still don't get it and unfortunately gambled for a quick return. My glass is still half-full. I just ask, look at the physical picture of the development/growth of this company. Comments/rebuttals requested.
I see the move of creating the spin-offs by Lyric Culture as a logical one, not one of desperation. Why limit one's potential in a single niche when the opportunity exists to make the Lyric name recognizable in multiple segments and income levels of the the market. Broadway hits could be another avenue of endeavor for the company, and imo should be researched by Hanna or whomever. GLTA
rhumphre1, you are so right about the cut-throat,manipulative,computer driven and tight lipped persona of the pinks; and LYJN unfortunately falls right in that realm right now, but only to the effect of being tight-lipped. But there are also successful, reputable, outstanding companies that has a .pk trailing their symbol and I'm hoping that LYJN.PK eventually emulate them. For instance: DDAIF.PK-Daimler AG, 1.06B AS trading @ 51.10; NRSGY.PK-Nestle SA, 1.39B AS @ 58.69; MITEY.PK-Mitsubishi Estate Co. LTD, 1.39B AS @ 174.50; and a fashion industry name, LVMH>PK-Louis Vuitton, 497.68M AS @ 159.40. LYJN is in a niche where the competition is minimal. WHAT IF, with LYJN. I'm thinking that it's going to happen. Maybe it won't happen, but my glass is half-full. After looking at the Pink companies here, http://www.otcmarkets.com/otc-pink/home, My enthusiasm for good chance with this company has increased even more.
P.S. My regret for my last post which I assume was deemed off-topic or argumentative and removed (not regarding rhumphre1). No malice was intended.
Rustler, you're absolutely/positively correct, but, I resigned myself from the drama that dominates this position. I take a few looks at this board daily and check the web to see if there's new info regarding the company. Oh yeah, and keep my fingers crossed for positive developments. That's all I can do and maintain my sanity. I've felt like many others here, pertaining to the lack of rapport by the company to the investors. However, I have faith that we will ultimately reach that point where we will look back and say, Finally! It da*n sure took long enough. Regards.
gordonhoochie, I do understand your concerns. The thing is, wading in the waters of Pinkieland, you're subject to losing your footing and find yourself in water over your head without a pfd. A life preserver equivalent would be to watch from the sidelines and wait for some real market activity or cast a few flies ($$$) to test the waters; nothing major like placing a large sum of money that one can't afford to lose and I hope that is not your case. Then too, you don't lose a thing 'til you sell. As an LYJN long, here's wishing you the best as well as the rest of us...
Q-reus
gordonhoochie, with all due respect - given the speculative nature of this "Pinkie", a potential investor must consider the distinct possibility of losing it all. Or to the contrary, gain a considerable windfall. Pinks are a gamble; no ifs, ands, or buts about it. Investors here are indeed at management's mercy. But since I took the gamble, I'm gonna ride out the storm... win or lose. How long is it gonna take? Who knows? Time will tell. One thing is for sure though; this one has not been a quickie for me or any of the longs here and it still is quite a way from declared success. But, to have been here long enough to see the distribution of LYJN's early products get delivered to Sak's Fifth Avenue, then to other high-end retailers was exciting for me. Despite the naysayers/scam-theorists (not you) negative perceptions of the company over the years, LC's exposure has been on a consistent positive path. I understand your concerns. I'd probably feel the same as you do had I taken the time to reach out to the company as you have, and for that, the company is out of touch. Considering where we've been to where we are today, my enthusiasm has grown respectively. Be that as it may, I still will not go out of my way to put extra money into this company that might cause financial hardship, should the company fail. I am betting however, that it will ultimately succeed. Sorry for the long-winded post. GLTU
Kate Lehman, PR rep for Lyric Culture... ?
Thanks NYBob for the historical insight.
You can read it however you wish, as well as we can read it how we see fit. That's where we differ. You read it as half-empty and others are reading it as half-full. Somebody will be proven wrong...
Don't forget the pure speculative nature of this company.
Acumen, if you have money here, it's obvious, you're playing in the wrong venue. Where you're disillusioned here is thinking by putting your funds in a penny stock and expect performance of a major player. I hope for it to ultimately happen. I suggest you take your toys and go try playing with the big boys; i.e. NYSE, NASDAQ, and yes AMEX. You stand a better chance to get your demands met.
coolbluewater, I do like being able to follow the visible presence and progress of the company. One can only wonder what goes through Hanna's mind when it comes to her take on investor relations. The bottom line, imo, is if you've put money in LYJN, you believe in the concept and final success of this company; and those invested dollars are at Hanna's mercy. But, she is working to bring this company dream to reality. So, I want the company to give me the announcements of the most recent and upcoming exposure of the company. I think it reflects the company's progression. Given the added range of LYJN's distribution of goods and volume, my confidence is increasing all the time towards our ultimate success. I do hope that there will be a release of financials and perhaps real positive movement in the LYJN's market cap; as we patiently wait. All imho.
Jetmek, the "tell all I know" quip will not happen, imo. If that would be the case, then why haven't previous directors/executives of this company done so? I suspect the non-disclosure contract those executives agree(d) to must be pretty binding. You think?
That photo array definitely excited me. Thanks MAC. Great exposure. I wonder how many in Russia will see that album? GLTA
zride, You're correct about speculation of the financials, but, what about the production and distribution of tangible products? Does that not add to the real value of the company? And I might add that the distribution list of retail outlets have grown immensely, from the days of ordering mostly online. Think about it, LYJN's products can be found from Maine to California; Washington state to Florida; Minnesota to Texas... Truly undervalued in my eye. I'm going to take my chances along with some of the others here.
zride, with all due respect, please explain/elaborate "overvalued".
"Brick by Brick Sir"...
smokestack
Plain and simple.
I've given up; totally! My holdings are practically worthless. Been here since '06 and never once has my position been in the green. At this point I fear I'll never see green with this one. That's one of the chances one takes in Pinkie Land. GLTA.
XsunX Shareholder Newsletter
Aliso Viejo, CA - June 20, 2011
Dear Shareholders,
This month the team at XsunX launched its next and most important stage of growth. We began the fabrication process to build our first multi-chamber CIGS evaporator which will provide hands on testing for the many customers interested in licensing our CIGSolar™ system.
Friday on MoneyTV, CEO Tom Djokovich and CTO Robert Wendt talked about the build, new facilities, and preparing to file for patent protection for the design of our thermal evaporation sources - something that we believe differentiates our CIGSolar™ technology. You can view Friday's interview by clicking here.
Recently we have been receiving questions asking what the build of this tool and new facility means for XsunX. The short answer is that we are creating a hands-on environment to better support our sales and licensing negotiations.
Another question we receive is just how large of a market opportunity has XsunX developed. We are experiencing a lot of interest from existing and new manufacturers allowing us to develop a sales channel that currently represents over $200 million dollars in potential systems sales and new licensing deals for our CIGSolar™ technology.
As you can see, the interest and demand for our technology has been developing very well and to support this current, and any future, demand, the timing of our build-out is ideal.
This will be a busy summer for XsunX and we look forward to providing you with continued updates.
Thanks for your time and have a great week.
The XsunX Team

jpicker, that's great. Which city/state? TIA.
Rustler, I like your conviction! GLTY, and all Longs.
Okay Hanna, you're covering Country-Western, Pop, and Rock N Roll. What do you have planned for Classical? You can't leave that segment out; and you have collaborators at your disposal, through your parents.

Shareholder Newsletter
XsunX Updates Technology & Business Development
Aliso Viejo, CA - June 1, 2011
In this shareholder newsletter XsunX, Inc. (XSNX), the developer of CIGSolar™ a hybrid thin-film photovoltaic (TFPV) solar cell manufacturing process, provides updates to our next stage of growth as we build our first multi-chamber CIGS evaporator and consolidate our product development, sales, and corporate operations into one facility.
As a brief update for those of you new to XsunX, our product development and marketing has focused on a hybrid approach utilizing discreet small area stainless steel substrate processing for the deposition of the thin film layers necessary to produce CIGS solar cells. These cells can be offered as an alternative to the use of silicon solar cells - an entirely new and revolutionary idea which our potential licensees seem to agree with.
Through our efforts, we have developed processes and system specifications for our technology and have also applied for patent protection on certain aspects of our CIGSolar™ system. We are now ready to transition these achievements into the next stage of our plan to grow our business.
Earlier this month we announced that we were preparing to start the build out of our first multi-chamber CIGSolar™ co-evaporation system and last week we initiated the start of that build. Many of the more common components, such as vacuum pumps and power supplies, will be available relatively soon and we are working closely with our business partners to expedite custom components such as our proprietary commercial scale evaporation crucibles. We are working to assemble all of the components and complete the build as soon as possible, and we will be keeping you up-to-date on our progress and timing as we move forward. During this interim period, we will also be working to consolidate our staff and all of our current technical resources into a single facility.
Due to the significantly smaller footprint of our system's design and our innovative technology licensing plan, we have eliminated the need for large-scale costly manufacturing facilities. We plan to provide an update to our new location as we complete selection in June.
This is very exciting time and we are looking forward to providing shareholders, and the licensee groups that are anxiously awaiting the opportunity to work with this system, with continued updates to this technology build-out.
Sincerely,
The XsunX Team

That would be Lyric Jeans - the company; not Lyric Jeans - the product.
...and waiting, ...
I really like the way Hanna continue's to expand the reach of the Lyric niche. Visibility and recognition of Lyric's trademark is growing at a decent pace, imho. I'm still hoping for expanded merchandise production, and obviously corresponding sales sooner than later... but still encouraged.
ST88, didn't mean to not reply. To answer your question, I don't have a clue. I just pass the whatever info I might have as I come across it, if it hasn't already been posted. Sorry, I can't offer any insight. One can only hope for progress.

What's with the website? Does anyone know?
I'm psyched... I saw Lyrix Jewelry at a Claire's in Bangor, ME today. That says a lot for me, with production/distribution of the company's goods. I believe that we are indeed inching along towards positive numbers. GLTA
