Hi Jet. The bottom line is... some of us (GTELlers) are just plain and simply, dreamers. Regardless of where the different leading players in this company have taken us, we (the dreamers) believe the stratellite concept is real and will be ultimately delivered successfully by WSGI, first. The longevity and survival of the company says a lot to me about its presence, here and now. Your points are well taken, but they have become passé. Let us dreamers continue our dreams and when it's over and if nothing has changed and we are not the first to deploy a working stratellite, then come back and say "See I told you;" and then we must relent and say that you were right.
FWIW, besides being the contact person for Investor Relations, Ms. Johnson is counsel for the company, plus a board director. There's a good chance that she's preoccupied with other company agendas/issues/board meetings; especially given the fact that the company is undergoing major adjustments right now. She should probably request that she be given up to 24 hours to reply to email requests. One can only imagine how heavily she's being bombarded with informational requests. GLTA.
XSNX is seeking investors' opinions:
XsunX, Inc. Renewable Energy Alert: April 19, 2011
An XsunX, Inc. (OTCBB: XSNX) shareholder's newsletter offering insights to technology and policies helping to shape the solar industry.
Governor Brown Signs Bill Increasing California's Renewable Portfolio Standard to 33%.
It has been months since our last Renewable Energy Alert but the latest announcement from the State of California that will require all utilities in the state to produce 33% of their power from renewables by 2020 is significant. As we know, California has the largest population and state economy in the USA and for decades the saying has been, "as California goes, so does the nation."
Why are the requirements to produce more electricity from renewable sources continuously increasing in states all over the nation? It's fairly obvious; it's the rising costs for coal and natural gas as the global demand for these commodities heats up, and the need to mitigate the pollution caused when coal and natural gas are used to make electricity. Comparatively, China has instituted only a 3% renewable mandate for an economy that is building nearly one new coal fired power plant per week. China's growth in the demand and dependency on commodities such as coal and natural gas may provide the long-term justification for California's renewable energy approach today.
So what is California doing to reduce its dependency of fossil fuels?
California's Governor Jerry Brown signed Senate Bill ("SB") X1-2 on Tuesday April 12, 2011 requiring California's electric utilities to procure 33% of their energy from renewable resources by 2020. Upon signing the bill, Governor Brown stated the "bill will bring many important benefits to California, including stimulating investment in green technologies in the state, creating thousands of new jobs, improving air quality, promoting energy independence, and reducing greenhouse gas emissions."
Details concerning the implementation of the new legislation will have to be worked out at various California regulatory agencies, including the California Public Utilities Commission and the California Energy Commission. The legislation will likely spawn numerous regulatory proceedings as the various power production agencies struggle to come to grips with the new Renewable Portfolio Standard (RPS) mandate.
Do government mandates such as the ones in California make economic sense?
Some who read this newsletter may argue that renewables such as solar can only compete due to government subsidies. The fact is that all fuels receive some form of government subsidy: oil, coal, natural gas, solar power, wind, and nuclear power. While there may appear to be an imbalance in which fuel receives how much subsidy, the reality is that solar subsidies invest in durable assets that over time help to reduce operating costs while fossil fuels, like natural gas and coal subsidies, do nothing to reduce long term operating costs.
The debate over where to best place "subsidy dollars" will continue to be driven by special interests, but at XsunX we believe that the debate should be reduced to a simple comparison, "Do we as a society continue to subsidize the daily operating costs of an electrical power plant for its coal or natural gas consumption and environmental pollution, or do we invest in durable long term assets in the form of solar power parks that deliver a clean, efficient, and long term solution well into the future."
We would like to hear what our investors think about this issue so feel free to email us at Investors@xsunx.com with your opinions and insight to these pressing long term issues.
As always, if you have any questions in the meantime, please contact our Investor Relations desk at investors@xsunx.com or (888) 797-4527.
Sincerely,
Joseph Grimes, President and COO, XsunX, Inc.

I have tried to hold back, hoping that Hanna will offer some kind if message to the investors; let alone an issue announcement that Ronny Halperin is no longer the CEO of Lyric Jeans. I hope that his separation from the company is a positive gesture in terms that he is being replaced by some one in the industry and that an announcement is forthcoming. I didn't want to fuel the negativism that has a home on this board, but it was a matter of time before the information is discovered. I'm still holding long, hoping for a positive turn. If it doesn't happen, so be it. GLTA.
C'mon, Hanna. Make something happen.
I challenge this company to make me regret not averaging down my share costs; not that I didn't try once in the past. I'm very happy that it didn't happen though. GLTA
Name imitation is the sincerest form of flattery.
I don't expect anything out of them. My post is in reference to the other former Heads and Chairs of the company. If the company is bogus, what's keeping them from telling all?
Are proven scams protected from disclosure? Granted, the shortcomings of Sanswire's past... But, if they are a proven scam, why hasn't any of the other past heads of ADGI, GTEL, GTE, or SNSR spoken publicly about this scam? Are non-disclosure clauses enforceable with the former heads of the company? I don't know, and was just wondering.

Letter to Shareholders
XsunX Expands Technology & Business Development Pipeline
Date: 1.24.2011
To Our Valued Shareholders,
Over the last several months, we have shared many important company milestones with you beginning with the rapid achievement of high conversion efficiency CIGS cell devices, working to protect our CIGSolarâ„¢ technology through the patent process, and building a sales pipeline of potential licensees. These updates have focused mainly on the solar cell development process and associated business updates. This week's exciting update involves the critical elements for the use of solar cells that will be produced by our technology - specifically solar module assembly.
Recently, we began to forge a relationship with a solar module assembler to work with our CIGSolar cells to produce solar modules. Our two companies have been working on a limited basis developing an understanding of each party's capabilities and recently we've seen some promising progress. We are now expanding the relationship and are working to finalize a Joint Business Agreement.
There are several benefits of expanding this important relationship to both parties. First for XsunX, it provides us access to extensive solar modular manufacturing expertise and existing crystalline silicon assembly lines, which we have earmarked as a major customer group. Secondly, both parties will be working closely to produce sample CIGSolar modules, allowing XsunX to further complete the commercialization process, and our partner to develop confidence in the use of CIGSolar cells as an alternative to the use of silicon cells. And finally for XsunX, providing sample solar modules to potential licensees will help to prove the suitability of our CIGSolar technology as a robust and less expensive alternative to silicon.
We remain grateful to you, our shareholders, for recognizing and supporting the potential of our CIGSolar technology, competencies, and vision. We look forward to sharing more details about our technology and business development efforts in the near future.
As always, if you have any questions in the meantime, please contact our Investor Relations desk at investors@xsunx.com or (888) 797-4527.
Sincerely,
Joseph Grimes, President and COO, XsunX, Inc.

Sales and Marketing Progress Update
Date: 1/12/2011
To Our Valued Shareholders,
In this week's XsunX newsletter, we're pleased to announce the first major enhancement to our Sales and Marketing efforts of this New Year: a major revision and update of our website. Although not the only effort that is currently being planned, or implemented, this achievement is necessary and critical for ongoing marketing efforts and to maintain the momentum and presence in the market place that we have already achieved.
Critical to any Sales and Marketing effort is the clarity of a company's message, the business model, and the value proposition. In order to reflect the significant technology development achievements that XsunX experienced in 2010, and to better communicate the benefits of CIGSolarâ„¢, a website revision was timely.
These achievements in 2010 include:
- Application for patent protection for key aspects to our CIGSolarâ„¢ co-evaporation process technology,
- Preparation for additional patent submissions for High Temperature Effusion sources and thermal management of substrates at highly critical junctures of the thermal co-evaporative process,
- Rapid achievement of initial 15% conversion efficiency while we worked to prove and then improve our small area thermal co-evaporation manufacturing plan,
- Assembly of a world class team of original equipment manufacturers and consultants to assist in all aspects of systems assembly, installation, and service to support CIGSolarâ„¢.
Because of these accomplishments, and during the planning of the 2011 Sales and Marketing plan, it became clear that we needed to transition to a more formalized and focused Sales and Marketing campaign that could provide to our target market, users of silicon solar cells, more detailed and relevant information of the benefits to CIGSolarâ„¢. The revised website is a significant step towards achieving that goal.
Within that light, we have focused on the core message of XsunX: that our technology is New, Innovative, and Capital Efficient.
We focus on the fact that module manufacturers do not have to be trapped by the volatile supply chain of crystalline silicon cell market - estimated at $18 billion in 2010 alone - and can work with XsunX to implement a CIGSolarâ„¢ solution to supplement their existing production with low-cost, high efficiency, reliable, unbreakable CIGS solar cells.
While I understand that the interest shared by our shareholders is to see XsunX add sales and licensing accomplishments to our technology accomplishments as soon as possible. We see this launch as a critical next step and intend that our marketing efforts, sales cycle, client interest levels, and the markets we've targeted for 2011 will help us achieve the commercialization of our exciting new technology as rapidly as possible.
Thank you for your continued support of our company. As always, if you have any questions in the meantime, please contact our Investor Relations desk at investors@xsunx.com or (888) 797-4527.

Letter to Shareholders
Sales and Marketing Progress Update
Date: 12/21/2010
To Our Valued Shareholders,
In this week's XsunX newsletter, we're happy to offer a departure from the technology update and instead provide some insights on the progress we've made in 2010 in the sales and marketing division of our company, as well as our marketing plans for 2011. And as indicated by world-wide interest, the prospects of bringing our cross-industry CIGSolarâ„¢ thin-film technology to the market are gaining significant momentum.
Questions from our Investors: A question we often receive from the public is the timing for when we believe our first sale will be completed. Obviously, we are very eager and focused on closing deals as soon as possible but as you might suspect, selling a solar cell production line and all the various ancillary elements becomes a very complex transaction. However, we are doing our best to close our first customer which we believe will be in the first calendar quarter 2011. I have provided some insight into this process below.
Summary of 2010: There are several aspects to our 2010 sales cycle that might be of interest to summarize for our investors. Our initial marketing approach this year focused on both the issuance of press releases when milestones were achieved and newsletters to our subscriber list to fill in incremental achievements. Because of this, we've been able to cast a wide net that pulled in potential customers from Europe, Asia and the United States. Many of these companies sought us out, referencing news announcements, such as reaching 15% conversation efficiency with our CIGSolar cell devices or how they were intrigued by our patent-pending hybrid approach and the opportunity to manufacture their own CIGS-based solar cells.
The Sales Cycle Process: Although comprised of numerous complex issues, the sales cycle is clearly defined and begins with the exchange of confidentiality agreements with potential customers. Then, discussions proceed as we work to present the value proposition of our technology with detailed technical presentations, on-site visits, financial performance forecasts and justifications, and planned technology roadmaps. We have 15 companies who have signed confidentiality agreements so far, of which 10 have signed more detailed commitment agreements evidencing their interest to move forward with a CIGSolarâ„¢ license.
Our goal with these companies, whose businesses range from semi-conductor and PV panel manufacturers to renewable energy developers, is to obtain signed master license and joint business agreements (JBA's) based upon a series of delivery milestones that mirror our technology roadmap. These companies will then have access to:
· XsunX's CIGSolarâ„¢ thin-film process and on-going technology updates with the intent to deliver higher throughput numbers and cell conversion efficiencies into the future and;
· XsunX's patent pending CIGSolarâ„¢ equipment and cell line to deliver high-quality, low cost CIGS solar cells with the associated training, support and implementation as part of these agreements.
At XsunX, we are working to be responsive in assisting clients with the resolution of these and other aspects to the decision making process. We share the same interest with our shareholders to sign our first deal as soon as possible.
Marketing Plans for 2011: In 2011, we intend to increase our sales and marketing efforts to enhance our presence in the market. Early in the year, we'll be releasing an updated website highlighting our progress, providing CIGSolarâ„¢ cell line configurations, more detailed technology data, and other relevant documentation to support our expanding marketing efforts.
In addition to our current sales pipeline, we have identified over 50 solar module manufacturers who are trapped in the volatile cost swings of the silicon cell markets, without many alternatives. We intend to target these existing solar module manufacturers with our marketing efforts in 2011. Preliminary discussions with key representatives of several of these potential customers reveal their desire to gain a level of independence from this volatile supply chain and interest in our low cost alternative: CIGSolarâ„¢.
While I understand that the primary interest shared by our shareholders is to see XsunX complete sales as soon as possible, I hope that this review of our marketing efforts, sales cycle, client interest levels, and the markets we've targeted for 2011 provide you with the assurance that we are working hard to commercialize our exciting new technology as rapidly as possible.
Thank you for your continued support of our company. As always, if you have any questions in the meantime, please contact our Investor Relations desk at investors@xsunx.com or (888) 797-4527.

There's an article in Popular Mechanics that could be a source of encouragement for LTHU investors. It mentions VW's plans of an electric version of it's Golf car line. It goes on to mention a 26.4-kwh lithium-ion battery pack for it's power source; but not LTHU or LTC by name. Given LTHU's past announcements of working with VW and Porshe, I'm hoping that the power source will be from LTC. I scanned the article, but know of no way to attach it here for further reference. Maybe it would be a copyright infraction, but I'd mention the source of the article. But here's a link to a site (treehugger.com) that offers further hope. However, the production projections are still a year or two way. It could have been previously posted. This article was released in March 2010:
http://www.treehugger.com/files/2010/03/volkswagen-plans-sell-300000-electric-cars-year-2018.php?campaign=th_rss&utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+treehuggersite+%28Treehugger%29
Maybe the hype from a future LTC announcement will increase investors' interest. GLTYA
Yes, lonnnnng overdue!
Thanks, NYBob, for keeping this board active.
I'm hoping that, when the announcement of the hiring does occur, there will be additional elaboration; such as to handle the contracts that are in waiting to be finalized. "Hoping".
Here's what I don't understand:
Should LYJN be ever proven a scam, how is it possible that Hanna can continually collaborate and attain licenses from music GIANTS to associate their names with Lyric Culture? Don't you find it baffling that these institutions (artists & publishers) have the resources at their hands to alert them of a potential scam company, but yet work with LC anyway? YOKO ONO? Somebody, please share some insight to how Hanna pulls it off. LYJN has been around for some years now, and despite the very very poor market performance, I have yet to run across any negative reports from that consumer market segment warning of Lyric Culture, other than here. We can all find negative information on any interest; our spouses, best friends, or worst enemies if we so desire. Do your dd. Look at the build up of the company through the years and the entities that are presently and have previously associated themselves with LC. I'm sold! Win or Lose. GLTYA
This post could possibly construed as a pump, but I just wanted to share why I'm here.
Has this article been posted...?
http://stacilaynewilson.wordpress.com/
Scroll to 12 AUG, and at bottom of page continue reading. An impartial review of the Fred Segal event held last month and photos I hadn't seen.
lyricscam, I suspect that making a presence on the stage prior to one the entrance of one of the world's hottest acts carries its own weight. Who knows? It could possibly strike Lady Gaga's or some other top billing interest to set up a similar wardrobe arrangement (wishful thinking on my part). I don't think there's any need to spin or justify LC's presence in the opening act of a Lady Gaga concert. There are those who noticed Lyric Culture, and I say CHEERS to LC for the effort to even be there.
Stock-Hound, that's a good question. There's still more work to be done at the home-front.
NICE. The future's looking more favorable for LYJN as time has slowly progressed the state of the company. The web site, though, imo needs to change the Home Tab or substitute it with "About US" info instead. Presently, the Home and Shop Tabs are the same in content. Going straight to the shopping page as the link takes one, could perhaps offer a leader to learn more about the company. Although a high number of posters here know what LYJN is about, newcomers visiting the LC site to indeed shop might wish to be enlightened about the company and its position/niche in the industry and market.
...just my thoughts. GLTYA.
B_N_D, welcome; if I may. Some of the celebs (one in particular) that you are potentially referencing have already been associated with LYJN, to some degree. I visited the Ihub board that you are hailing from. For what it's worth, LYJN has a multitude of celebrity associations past and present; and associating with another up-and-coming company will only detract from its present progression. And at this point imho, the company needs to remain focused with their market/securities information and clearing its waters of the uncertainty that exists with the Caveat-Emptor flag that is attached to its name on the OTCMarkets.com site. GLTY with your recovery from your entry here; of course patience is the key. I have played the confidence game here since '06 while averaging down and am happy to say that my LYJN holdings are now in the green. With the listing of LYJN's financial info, I am relieved and now confident that we will see positive growth in the near future, along with your recovery. When... is the definitive question. This is a great point to consider averaging down, provided you are confident of a recovery. Again, glty.
lyricscam: considering your stance with LYJN, what is your take from the company's March announcement of "Industry Leaders Join Lyric Jeans Advisory Council", and the names associated with that council? Perhaps you've already commented about that event, and if you did, I missed it. TIA
Q-reus
Thank you, slojab. Wow, REAL information! Now, let's see what develops...
Nice dialogue, folks. Here's an also nice mention of Lyric Culture: http://la-confidential-magazine.com/style_0610_article5.html
gltya
Adelaide, pardon my butting in, but I think LyjnRocks was answering your earlier post, #7878; regarding your allowance of 15 posts.
I hear you LyjnRocks, and what you're saying is not far-fetched. I hope that does not occur. It's just that ShowMeTheCash opened the door for some good dialogue.
Q-reus
ShowMeTheCash, I believe in what you're saying. At present, the market cap for the company is around a little more than $9m, given the present price of .0278 per share and 337,505,651 shares; provided that count is accurate. How much are the record companies licensing contracts worth, that LYJC holds? How much would True Religion, or any of the companies that are listed on the following link (http://hubpages.com/hub/Designer-Jeans---Whats-out-there-How-do-I-get-them) would be willing to pay for those licensing contracts? I am very confident that their worth would far exceed $9m. What's left is for Hanna to heighten the impetus on Jean production and get us onto that list. Hanna...
Regards
PolicyOfTruth, I stated before that I suspect that Hanna's capacity with the company is merchandizing and securing the record company licensing. Since there are some less than stellar stories associated with LYJN's CEO, Ronny Halperin, I would feel better if he was replaced by someone with a more positive past. He is the one (IMHO) who puts the company in its present predicament. Of course my opinion could be totally off-base. HE is the one who announced years ago, of the coming release of financial information of the company, and didn't follow through. The CEO is the one maintaining the info barrier within the company. Company policy originates from his office. C'mon Ronny; get with the program! Your compnay's investors are STILL wiating! All comments are in my humble opinion, and total speculation. GLTY.
Crow3, if I may; where were you during the recent excitement period that LYJN encountered? Regards.
Looking at that Lyric Culture image/ad, MAC, it sent a positive tingle through me; that Hanna has created/is creating a new niche in and of itself. I still like what she's doing and how she's doing it, aside of the financial/investor unreadiness. All imho, I suspect that as president of the company, Hanna's involvement is probably in the company's development and creative house and not the business side, FWIW. Again, all IMHO.
GLTA
I suspect that the share price for this company will ultimtely reach $10, but not with the current share structure. Given the present uncomfirmed 337+ million share count, that will place the market cap for LYJN above $3b. Take the GAP for example:
Revenue - $15.9b
Net Income - $778m
Operating Income - $1.7b
Market Cap - $16b
# Employees - 150k
Just a little food for thought, if you're wiating for the share price to reach $10. I don't expect the SP to exceed 0.35, and that's being unreasonably optimistic on my part; which will place the market cap above $118m. Whatever the case may be, I am here for the ride to stability and I will proudly accept $10 per share at the present count. GLTYA
When did Lords of Liverpool start marketing lyric-clad shirts, or even approach the thought of producing such apparel? I don't know, but it seems to me that they've just entered the lyric driven apparel market, as far as Lyric Culture being a knock-off is concerned. Could they possibly be following LYJN's lead, now that the concept has been market tested by LYJN? Just wondering ...
