PART I

ITEM 1. BUSINESS

Solar EnerTech Corp. was originally incorporated under the laws of the State of Nevada on July 7, 2004 as Safer Residence Corporation and was reincorporated to the State of Delaware on August 13, 2008 (“Solar EnerTech” or the “Company”). The Company engaged in a variety of businesses until March 2006, when the Company began its current operations as a photovoltaic (“PV”) solar energy cell (“PV Cell”) manufacturer. The Company’s management decided that, to facilitate a change in business that was focused on the PV Cell industry, it was appropriate to change the Company’s name. A plan of merger between Safer Residence Corporation and Solar EnerTech Corp., a wholly-owned inactive subsidiary of Safer Residence Corporation, was approved on March 27, 2006, under which the Company was to be renamed “Solar EnerTech Corp.” On April 7, 2006, the Company changed its name to Solar EnerTech Corp.

The Company’s management in February 2008 decided that it was in the Company’s and its shareholders’ best interests to change the Company’s state of domicile from Nevada to Delaware (the “Reincorporation”). On August 13, 2008, the Company, a Nevada entity at the time, entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger with Solar EnerTech Corp., a Delaware corporation and wholly-owned subsidiary of the Nevada entity (the “Delaware Subsidiary”), whereby the Nevada entity merged with and into the Delaware Subsidiary in order to effect the Reincorporation. After the Reincorporation, the Nevada entity ceased to exist and the Company survived as a Delaware entity.

The Reincorporation was duly approved by both the Company’s Board of Directors and a majority of the Company’s stockholders at its annual meeting of stockholders held on May 5, 2008. On August 13, 2008, the Reincorporation was completed. The Reincorporation into Delaware did not result in any change to the Company’s business, management, employees, directors, capitalization, assets or liabilities.

On April 27, 2009, the Company entered into a Joint Venture Agreement (the “JV Agreement”) with Jiangsu Shunda Semiconductor Development Co., Ltd. (“Jiangsu Shunda”) to form a joint venture in the United States by forming a new company, to be known as Shunda-SolarE Technologies, Inc. (the “Joint Venture Company”), in order to jointly pursue opportunities in the United States solar market. After its formation, the Joint Venture Company’s name was later changed to SET-Solar Corp.

Pursuant to the terms of the JV Agreement, Jiangsu Shunda owns 55% of the Joint Venture Company, the Company owns 35% of the Joint Venture Company and the remaining 10% of the Joint Venture Company is owned by the Joint Venture Company’s management. The Joint Venture Company’s Board of Directors consist of five directors: three of the directors were nominated by Jiangsu Shunda and two of whom were nominated by the Company. Furthermore, Mr. Yunda Ni, the President of Jiangsu Shunda, serves as the Joint Venture Company’s Chairman of the Board and Mr. Leo Shi Young, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer serves as the Joint Venture Company’s Vice Chairman of the Board. Jiangsu Shunda is responsible for managing the Joint Venture Company in China and the Company is responsible for the managing the Joint Venture Company in the United States. The JV Agreement is valid for 18 months. As of September 30, 2009, due to the foreign currency controls imposed by the PRC government, Jiangsu Shunda and the Company have not contributed any capital to the Joint Venture Company and no equity interest has been issued to either party.

The Company’s goal is to maximize its value through manufacturing and distribution of photovoltaic products globally. To date, the Company has established a 67,107-square-foot manufacturing facility in Shanghai, China. The Company currently has two 25MW solar cell production lines and a 50MW solar module production facility.

The Company has also established a Joint R&D Lab at Shanghai University to research and develop higher-efficiency cells and to put the results of that research to use in its manufacturing processes. Led by one of the industry’s top scientists, the Company expects its R&D program to help bring Solar EnerTech to the forefront of advanced solar technology research and production.

During fiscal year 2009, the Company has significantly improved its operational results. The Company restructured its management team, especially the sales team, and concentrated on leaner productions, our procurement process, improving efficiency, quality control and various cost cutting programs. Consequently, gross margin has significantly improved quarter by quarter and operational costs have been reduced. In January 2010, the Company modified the terms of its convertible notes, which were subsequently converted into shares of common stock of the Company. We believe that the successful completion of the debt restructuring, along with our existing cash resources and the cash expected to be generated from operations during fiscal year 2010 will be sufficient to meet our projected operating requirements through at least the next twelve months and enable us to continue as a going concern

The Market

Energy generated from PV cells continues to be researched and the resulting products deployed. PV technology is relatively a simple concept: harness the sun’s energy on a solid-state device and generate electricity. In many markets around the world – especially Japan, Germany, Spain and the U.S. – PV electricity has already become a favored energy choice, and within this established base, the technology of PV’s is poised to help transform the energy landscape within the next decade.

Photovoltaic Industry and the World

The photovoltaic industry has made huge improvements in solar cell efficiencies as well as having achieved significant cost reductions. The global photovoltaic industry is expanding rapidly: In the last few years, most solar production has moved and continues to move to Europe and China. Countries like Germany and Spain have had government-incentive programs that have made solar systems more attractive. In the United States, the investment tax credits and production tax credit extensions were passed in October 2008. As the current administration in the United States pursues a “Green Economy”, we expect both federal and state incentives to play an important role in boosting the use of solar electricity in the near future.

The price of electricity produced from solar cells is still significantly more expensive than from fossil fuels, such as coal and oil, especially when environmental costs are not considered. The competitiveness of solar-generated electricity in grid-connected applications is largely a function of electricity rates, which are subject to regulations and taxes that vary from country to country across the world.

With a solar boom being expected globally in the near future and with renewable energy laws being implemented as best-practice models often with attractive solar energy delivery compensation rules as in Germany, solar companies are currently expanding their activities in Europe (e.g. Spain, Italy, France and Greece, and Holland). With growing markets in Southern Europe, Asia and the United States, numerous opportunities exist for competitors in the photovoltaic market.

Compared to other energy technologies, solar power’s benefits include:

•

Environmental Superiority. Solar power is one of the most benign electric generation resources. Solar cells and concentrated solar power (“CSP”) systems generate electricity without significant air or water emissions, habitat impact or waste generation;

•

Price Stability. Unlike fossil fuels, solar energy has no fuel price volatility or delivery risk. Although there is variability in the amount and timing of sunlight, it is predictable, and a properly configured system can be designed to be highly reliable while providing long-term, fixed price electricity;

•

Location Flexibility. Unlike other renewable resources such as hydroelectric or wind power, solar power can be generated where it is needed. This limits the expense and energy losses associated with transmission and distribution of large, centralized power stations;

•

Peak Generation. Solar power is well-suited to match peak energy needs as maximum sunlight hours generally correspond to peak demand periods when electricity prices are at their highest;

•

System Modularity. Solar power products can be deployed in many sizes and configurations to meet the specific needs of the user; and

•

Reliability. With no moving parts or regular required maintenance, photovoltaic systems are among the most reliable forms of electricity generation.

Company’s Strategy

The Company’s business strategy includes the acquisition, manufacturing and marketing of innovative PV cells and modules in order to provide superior solutions to its customers. In so doing, we believe it will generate substantial value for its stockholders while contributing to energy security and protection of ecosystems.

Principal Products and Services

The essential component in all solar panel applications is the photovoltaic solar cell, which converts the sun’s visible light into electricity. Solar cells are then assembled in modules for specific applications. The Company manufactures PV solar cells, designs and produces advanced PV modules for a variety of applications, such as standard panels for solar power stations, roof panels, solar arrays, and modules incorporated directly into exterior walls.

Marketing Strategy

The primary solar market is currently in Europe and Australia, where significant government incentive programs are helping fuel high demand for solar products. The Company’s secondary market is the United States, where the State of California has launched an ambitious One Million Solar Roof incentive program for residences and businesses. With a newly set-up marketing and sales office in the United Sates, the Company is well-positioned to meet incremental market demand in the United States.

Sales Strategy

The Company manufactures high-quality and high-conversion-rate solar products with outstanding after-sale services. By keeping costs low, the Company expects to market its panels, to be trademarked as “SolarE”, at prices generally lower than many of our competitors.

Research & Development

The Company has established a joint Research and Development (“R&D”) laboratory with Shanghai University to facilitate improvements to the Company’s products. The main focus of this research laboratory is to:

(1)

Research and test theories of photovoltaics, thermo-physics, the physics of materials and chemistry;

(2)

Develop efficient and ultra-efficient PV cells with light/electricity conversion rate ranging from 20% to 35%;

(3)

Develop environmentally-friendly high-conversion-rate manufacturing technology for chemical compound film PV cell materials;

(4)

Develop highly-reliable, low-cost manufacturing technology and equipment for thin-film PV cells;

(5)

Research and develop key materials for new low-cost flexible-film PV cells and non-vacuum technology; and

(6)

Research and develop key technologies and fundamental theories for third-generation PV cells.

Management believes that the joint R&D laboratory will enable the Company to be at the forefront of PV research and development, and hopes to create a valuable comparative advantage over solar cell producers today, with the goal of enabling the Company to become an important solar-cell manufacturer.

Competition

The solar energy market is highly competitive. Outside China, the Company’s competitors include BP Solar, Kyocera Corporation, Mitsubishi Electric Corporation, Motech Industries Inc., Sharp Corporation, Q-Cells AG, Sanyo Electric Co., Ltd. and Sunpower Corporation. In China, the Company’s primary competitors are Suntech Power Holding’s Co., Ltd., Trina Solar Ltd., Baoding Tianwei Yingli New Energy Resources Co., Ltd. and Nanjing PV-Tech Co., Ltd, Canadian Solar Inc. and Solarfun Power Holdings Co., Ltd.

The Company competes primarily on the basis of the power efficiency, quality, performance and appearance of its products, price, strength of its supply chain and distribution network, after-sales service and brand image. Many of the Company’s competitors have longer operating histories, larger customer bases, greater brand recognition and significantly greater financial and marketing resources than the Company.

Intellectual Property

The Company is not, at present, the holder of any patents, trademarks or copyrights on its products. The Company intends to trademark the trade name “SolarE” in Asia, Europe and North America in the future and will, if it is successful in its conduct of research and development activities seek intellectual property protection for such products. Solar cells are in the public domain and the Company’s only protection in producing them is in the know-how or experience of its employees and management in producing its products.

Environmental Regulations

In its manufacturing process, the Company will use, generate and discharge toxic, volatile or otherwise hazardous chemicals and wastes in its manufacturing activities. The Company is subject to a variety of foreign, federal, state and local governmental laws and regulations related to the purchase, storage, use and disposal of hazardous materials. If the Company fails to comply with present or future environmental laws and regulations, it could be subject to fines, suspension of production or a cessation of operations. In addition, under some foreign, federal, state and local statutes and regulations, a governmental agency may seek recovery and response costs from operators of property where releases of hazardous substances have occurred or are ongoing, even if the operator was not responsible for the release or otherwise was not at fault.

Management believes that the Company has all environmental permits necessary to conduct its business and has obtained all necessary environmental permits for its facility in Shanghai. Management also believes that the Company has properly handled its hazardous materials and wastes and has appropriately remediated any contamination at any of its premises. The Company is not aware of any pending or threatened environmental investigation, proceeding or action by foreign, federal, state or local agencies, or third parties involving our current facilities. Any failure by the Company to control the use of or to restrict adequately the discharge of, hazardous substances could subject the Company to substantial financial liabilities, operational interruptions and adverse publicity, any of which could materially and adversely affect its business, results of operations and financial condition.

Principal suppliers

We currently purchase silicon wafer, our key raw material, from the spot market.

Employees

As of September 30, 2009, the Company employed approximately 328 people, as follows: the Company’s California office currently has 3 employees and the manufacturing plant in Shanghai currently has 325 employees.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS

RISKS RELATED TO OUR BUSINESS

Investors should carefully consider the risks described below before deciding whether to invest in our common stock. The risks described below are not the only ones we face. Additional risks not presently known to us or that we currently believe are immaterial may also impair our business operations and financial results. If any of the following risks actually occurs, our business, financial condition or results of operations could be adversely affected. In such case, the trading price of our common stock could decline and you could lose all or part of your investment. Our filings with the SEC also contain forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. Our actual results could differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of certain factors, including the risks we face described below. See “Special Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements.” In assessing these risks, investors should also refer to the other information contained or incorporated by reference in this Annual Report on Form 10-K, including our September 30, 2009 consolidated financial statements and related notes.

Our limited operating history may not serve as an adequate basis to judge our future prospects and results of operations.

We were originally incorporated in the State of Nevada in July 2004 and began our current operations in March 2006. On August 13, 2008, we reincorporated to the State of Delaware. We have a limited operating history. As such, our historical operating results may not provide a meaningful basis for evaluating our business, financial performance and future prospects. Accordingly, you should not rely on our results of operations for any prior periods as an indication of our future performance.

We require a significant amount of cash to fund our future capital expenditure requirements and working capital needs. If we cannot obtain additional sources of liquidity when we need it, our growth prospects and future profitability may be materially adversely affected and we may not be able to continue as a going concern.

We generated a net loss of $14.2 million for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2009. During the same period in fiscal year 2008, we had negative gross margin due to high manufacturing cost associated with our low production volume. In order to improve our profitability, we will need to continue to generate new sales while controlling our costs. As we plan on continuing the growth of our business while implementing cost control measures, we may not be able to successfully generate enough revenues to return to profitability. Failure to increase our revenues and control costs as we pursue our planned growth would harm our profitability and would likely negatively affect the market price of our stock.

If the world-wide financial crisis intensifies, potential disruptions in the capital and credit markets may adversely affect the Company, including adversely affecting the availability and cost of short-term funds for the Company’s liquidity requirements and the Company’s ability to meet its long-term commitments, which in turn could adversely affect the Company’s results of operations, cash flows and financial condition.

The Company relies on its limited cash reserves to fund short-term liquidity needs if internal funds are not available from the Company’s operations. With a limited amount of cash reserves, disruptions in the capital and credit markets could adversely affect the Company’s ability to raise additional cash as may be needed.

Longer-term disruptions in the capital and credit markets as a result of uncertainty, changing or tightened regulation, reduced financing alternatives or failures of significant financial institutions could adversely affect the Company’s access to liquidity needed in its businesses. Any disruption could require the Company to take measures to conserve cash until the markets stabilize or until alternative credit arrangements or other funding for business needs can be arranged. Such measures could include deferring capital expenditures, as well as reducing or eliminating other discretionary uses of cash.

Many of the Company’s customers and suppliers also have exposure to risks that their businesses are adversely affected by the current worldwide financial crisis and resulting potential disruptions in the capital and credit markets. In the event that any of the Company’s significant customers or suppliers, or a significant number of smaller customers and suppliers, are adversely affected by these risks, the Company may face disruptions in supply, significant reductions in demand for its products and services, inability of customers to pay invoices when due, and other adverse effects that could negatively affect the Company’s financial condition, results of operations and/or cash flows.

We had a history of losses and cash outflow from operations which may continue if we do not continue to increase our revenue and/or further reduce our costs.

We incurred a net operating loss in all financial periods since inception. After various cost cutting efforts, our operational expenses have been reduced significantly. Our ability to achieve profitability depends on the growth rate of the photovoltaic portion of the market, the continued market acceptance of PV products, the competitiveness of products and services as well as our ability to provide new products and services to meet the demands of our customers. During the third quarter of fiscal 2009, we generated positive gross margins for the first time in the Company’s history. However, there is no guarantee that we may be profitable in the future.

Due to the significant fluctuations in our cash levels that result from timing differences between our payments to vendors and our collections from customers, our cash levels were at their lowest at the end of fiscal year 2009. If we fail to reduce the cash consumption from operations and to generate cash from these other sources on a timely basis, or if the cash requirements of our business change as the result of changes in terms from vendors or other causes, we could no longer have the cash resources required to run our business.

The uncertainty regarding the eventual outcome of the our plan to continue on a going concern basis and the effect of other unknown adverse factors could threaten our existence as a going concern

Our consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the assumption that we will continue as a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business. The independent auditor’s report on our financial statements as of and for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2009 included herein contains an explanatory paragraph stating that our recurring net losses and negative cash flows from operations raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.

As of September 30, 2009, we had outstanding convertible notes with a principal balance of $11.6 million consisting of $2.5 million in principal amount of Series A Convertible Notes (the “Series A Notes”) and $9.1 million in principal amount of Series B Convertible Notes (the “Series B Notes”, and together with the Series A Notes, the “Notes”), which were recorded at carrying amount at $3.1 million. The Notes bear interest at 6% per annum and are due on March 7, 2010.

Failure to make payment on the outstanding Notes by March 7, 2010 would have a material adverse effect on our business, operating results and financial condition. This may cause us to restructure or cease operations entirely.

Our ability to repay the Notes when they are due or to refinance or renegotiate our obligations depends on our financial condition and operating performance, which is subject to prevailing economic and competitive conditions and certain financial, business and other factors beyond our control. There can be no assurance that we will generate a level of cash flows from operating activities sufficient to permit us to pay the principal and any interest, if any, owed under the Notes.

As of September 30, 2009, we only had, $1.7 million in cash and cash equivalents on hand, a working capital of $106,000 and incurred net loss of $14.2 million for the fiscal year 2009. Our minimal cash position is mostly due to funding operational losses in the earlier part of the year. If we are unable to generate sufficient cash flow or otherwise obtain funds necessary to make required payments, or if we fail to comply with the various requirements of our indebtedness, we may be forced to reduce or delay capital expenditures, sell assets, seek additional capital, restructure, or refinance our indebtedness. Failure to generate sufficient income, potentially raise additional capital, or renegotiate the terms and conditions of the Notes will be materially negatively impacted and it will be required to take actions that will harm our business, including ceasing of our operations.

During fiscal year 2009, we have significantly improved our operational results. The Company recruited an experienced sales director from the industry and built up a strong sales and marketing team, which resulted in new key customers. In fiscal year 2009, we acquired new key contracts , primarily a 10.00MW contract with a leading German solar system integrator. Accordingly, our module shipments increased from 6.67MW in fiscal year 2008 to 10.50MW in fiscal year 2009 and are expected to increase to at least 22MW in fiscal year 2010. The increased sales volume also resulted in lower average fixed manufacturing cost. Even though the average selling price in fiscal year 2009 has decreased approximately 41% compared to fiscal year 2008, it was offset by the decline in raw material prices primarily silicon wafers, which decreased by 65%. We have also restructured our management team and concentrated on lean production, efficiency improvement in manufacturing and various cost cutting programs. As a result, our operational costs have significantly decreased quarter by quarter. During the third quarter of fiscal year 2009, we generated a positive gross margin of 4.8% for the first time in the Company’s history. We continued this trend by generating a gross margin of 16% in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2009.

On January 7, 2010, we entered into a Series A and Series B Conversion Agreement (the “Conversion Agreement”) with the holders holding over 75% of the outstanding principal amounts owed under the Notes to modify the terms of the Notes. Pursuant to the terms of the Conversion Agreement, the Notes will be automatically converted into shares of our common stock at a conversion price of $0.15 per share and shall be amended to eliminate the maximum ownership percentage restriction prior to such conversion.

In addition, the Company and the holders of over 50% of each of the outstanding Series A, Series B and Series C Warrants (collectively the “PIPE Warrants”) have agreed to enter into an Amendment to the Series A, B, and C Warrants (the “Warrant Amendment”) upon the closing of the transactions contemplated in the Conversion Agreement. Pursuant to the terms of the Warrant Amendment, the PIPE Warrants shall be amended to reduce their exercise prices from $1.21, $0.90 and $1.00, respectively, to $0.15. The PIPE Warrants shall also be amended to (a) waive the anti-dilution provisions of the PIPE Warrants that would increase the number of shares issuable pursuant to the PIPE Warrants in inverse proportion to the reduction in the exercise price, (b) waive all anti-dilution protections as to future transactions and (c) eliminate maximum ownership percentage restrictions.

Pursuant to the Conversion Agreement, after the closing of the transactions contemplated by it, we shall issue to our employees additional options to purchase shares of our common stock equal to approximately 30% of each employee’s pre-closing option holdings. This is to provide for additional equity incentives to our employees in order to account for the dilution from the conversion of the Notes and re-pricing of the PIPE Warrants. These additional options shall be priced at $0.15 per share.

Continuing on a going concern basis is dependent upon, among other things, our ability to improve our operational results and the success of the debt restructuring above. A forecast of future sales is inherently uncertain and when the sales activities are not progressing as well as planned, it requires a significant amount of cash to support our operations and we cannot be sure that our existing cash resources will be adequate. Having insufficient funds may require us to scale back on our operations. If we experience a material shortfall versus our plan for fiscal 2010, we have a range of actions we can take to remediate the cash shortage, as discussed in more detail in “Item 7.Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations – Liquidity and Capital Resources.”

Demand for our PV products has been, and may continue to be, adversely affected by the global financial crisis. The global credit crisis could also make it difficult for our customers and end-users to finance the purchases of our products.

Beginning in the fourth fiscal quarter 2008, many of our key markets, including Belgium, Germany, and Australia, has experienced a period of economic contraction or significantly slower economic growth. In particular, the current credit crises, weak consumer confidence and diminished consumer and business spending have contributed to a significant slowdown in the market demand PV products due to decreased energy requirements.

In addition, many of our customers and many end-users of our PV products depend on debt financing to fund the initial capital expenditure required to purchase our PV products. Due to the global credit crisis, many of our customers and many end-users of our PV products have experienced difficulties in obtaining financing, and even if they have been able to obtain financing, the cost of such financing has increased and they may change their decision or change the timing of their decision to purchase our PV products. As a result, an increase in the cost of financing have lowered and may continue to lower demand for our PV products and reduce our net revenues. We cannot assure you when an economic recovery may occur, or even when an economic recovery does occur, the demand for our PV products will increase. A protracted disruption in the ability of our customers to obtain financing could lead to a significant reduction in their future orders for our PV products, which in turn could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

If PV technology is not suitable for widespread adoption, or sufficient demand for PV products does not develop or takes longer to develop than we anticipate, sufficient sales may not develop, which may have an adverse effect on our business and results of operations.

The PV market is at a relatively early stage of development and the extent to which PV products will be widely adopted is uncertain. Market data in the PV industry is not as readily available as those in other more established industries where trends can be assessed more reliably from data gathered over a longer period of time. If PV technology proves unsuitable for widespread adoption or if the demand for PV products fails to develop sufficiently, we may not be able to grow our business or generate sufficient revenues to become profitable or sustain profitability. In addition, demand for PV products in targeted markets, including China may not develop or may develop to a lesser extent than we anticipate. Many factors may affect the viability of widespread adoption of PV technology and the demand for PV products, including:

•

cost-effectiveness of PV products compared to conventional and other non-solar energy sources and products;

•

performance and reliability of PV products compared to conventional and other non-solar energy sources and products;

•

availability of government subsidies and incentives to support the development of the PV industry;

•

success of other alternative energy generation technologies, such as fuel cells, wind power and biomass;

•

fluctuations in economic and market conditions that affect the viability of conventional and non- solar alternative energy sources, such as increases or decreases in the prices of oil and other fossil fuels;

•

capital expenditures by end users of PV products, which tend to decrease when economy slows down; and

•

deregulation of the electric power industry and broader energy industry.

The failure of the market for PV products to develop as we expect it to would have a material adverse effect on our business.

We face intense competition from other companies producing solar energy and other renewable energy products and because we are new to this industry, we are limited in our ability to be competitive.

The PV market is intensely competitive and rapidly evolving. We compete with many companies that have longer operating histories, larger customer bases, greater brand recognition and significantly greater financial and marketing resources than us. They may also have existing relationships with suppliers of silicon wafers, which may give them an advantage in the event of a silicon shortage. We do not represent a significant competitive presence in the PV products industry.

Our failure to refine technology and develop and introduce new PV products could render our anticipated products uncompetitive or obsolete, and reduce our sales and market share, should we develop sales or market share.

The PV industry is rapidly evolving and competitive. We will need to invest significant financial resources in research and development to keep pace with technological advances in the PV industry and to effectively compete in the future. However, research and development activities are inherently uncertain, and we might encounter practical difficulties in commercializing our research results. Our significant expenditures on research and development may not reap corresponding benefits. A variety of competing PV technologies that other companies may develop could prove to be more cost-effective and have better performance than our PV products. Therefore, our development efforts may be rendered obsolete by the technological advances of others. Breakthroughs in PV technologies that do not rely in whole or in part on crystalline silicon could mean that companies such as us that rely entirely on crystalline silicon would encounter a sudden, sharp drop in sales.

Our failure to further refine our technology and develop and introduce new PV products could render our anticipated products uncompetitive or obsolete, and result in a decline in our market share. We do not have the working capital, at this time, to make a significant investment in research and development activities although we have hired personnel who have significant industry and PV expertise.

Our future success substantially depends on our ability to expand manufacturing capacity and output. Our ability to achieve our expansion goals is subject to a number of risks and uncertainties.

Our future success depends on our ability to significantly expand manufacturing capacity and output. If we are unable to do so, we may be unable to expand our business, decrease our costs per watt, maintain our competitive position and improve profitability. Our ability to establish manufacturing capacity and increase output is subject to significant risks and uncertainties, including:

•

the need to raise significant additional funds to purchase and prepay for raw materials or to buy equipment for our manufacturing facilities, which we may be unable to obtain on reasonable terms or at all;

•

delays and cost overruns as a result of a number of factors, many of which may be beyond our control, such as increases in raw materials prices and problems with manufacturing equipment vendors;

•

delays or denial of required approvals by relevant government authorities;

•

diversion of significant management attention and other resources; and

•

failure to execute our plan of operations effectively.

If we are unable to expand our manufacturing capacity or to increase manufacturing output, or if we encounter any of the risks described above, we may be unable to expand our business as planned. Moreover, we cannot assure you that if we do establish or expand our manufacturing capacity and output we will be able to generate sufficient customer demand for our PV products to support production levels.

Our dependence on a spot market and price volatility for key raw materials, and customized manufacturing equipment could prevent us from timely delivering our anticipated products to our customers in the required quantities, which could result in order cancellations and decreased revenues.

If we fail to obtain silicon wafer, our key raw material from the spot market, due to the volatility of raw material prices, we may be unable to manufacture our products or our products may be available at a higher cost or after a long delay, and we could be prevented from delivering our products to potential customers in the required quantities and at prices that are profitable. Problems of this kind could cause us to experience order cancellations and loss of market share. The failure to obtain materials and components that meet quality, quantity and cost requirements in a timely manner could impair our ability to manufacture products or increase our expected costs.

Our dependence on a limited number of customers may cause significant fluctuations or declines in our revenues.

We have a limited number of customers and will be dependent on these customers for our continued operations. Our dependence on a limited number of customers will continue for the foreseeable future. Consequently, any one of the following events may cause material fluctuations or declines in our revenues and have a material adverse effect on our results of operations:

•

reduction, delay or cancellation of orders from one or more significant customers;

•

selection by one or more significant distributor customers of products competitive with ours;

•

loss of one or more significant customers and failure to identify additional or replacement customers; and

•

failure of any significant customers to make timely payment for products.

We face risks associated with the marketing, distribution and sale of PV products internationally, and if we are unable to effectively manage these risks, they could impair our ability to expand our business abroad.

We market PV products outside of China. The marketing, international distribution and sale of PV products exposes us to a number of risks, including:

•

fluctuations in currency exchange rates;

•

difficulty in engaging and retaining distributors who are knowledgeable about and, can function effectively in, oversea markets;

•

increased costs associated with maintaining marketing efforts in various countries;

•

difficulty and cost relating to compliance with the different commercial and legal requirements of the overseas markets in which we offer our anticipated products;

•

inability to obtain, maintain or enforce intellectual property rights; and

•

trade barriers such as export requirements, tariffs, taxes and other restrictions and expenses, which could increase the prices of our anticipated products and make us less competitive in some countries.

A significant portion of our revenues and expenses are now denominated in foreign currencies. It has not been our recent practice to engage in the hedging of foreign currency transactions to mitigate foreign currency risk. Therefore, fluctuations in the value of foreign currencies could have a negative impact on the profitability of our global operations, which would seriously harm our business, results of operations, and financial condition.

Our business depends to a significant extent on the continuing efforts of our president and chief executive officer. Our business may be severely disrupted if we lose his services.

Due to his extensive experiences in managing businesses in China, our future success depends to a significant extent on Leo Shi Young, our President and Chief Executive Officer. We do not maintain key man life insurance on our executive officers or our directors. If Mr. Young becomes unable or unwilling to continue in his present position, we may not be able to replace him readily. In that case our business could be severely disrupted, and we may incur substantial expenses to recruit and retain new officers.

If we are unable to attract, train and retain technical personnel, our business may be materially and adversely affected.

Our future success depends, to a significant extent, on our ability to attract, train and retain technical personnel. Recruiting and retaining capable personnel, particularly those with expertise in the PV industry, are vital to our success. There is substantial competition for qualified technical personnel, and there can be no assurance that we will be able to attract or retain our technical personnel. If we are unable to attract and retain qualified employees, our business may be materially and adversely affected.

We may be exposed to infringement or misappropriation claims by third parties, which, if determined adversely to us, could cause us to pay significant damage awards.

Our success also depends largely on our ability to use and develop our technology and know-how without infringing the intellectual property rights of third parties. The validity and scope of claims relating to PV technology patents involve complex scientific, legal and factual questions and analysis and, therefore, may be highly uncertain. We may be subject to litigation involving claims of patent infringement or violation of intellectual property rights of third parties. The defense and prosecution of intellectual property suits, patent opposition proceedings and related legal and administrative proceedings can be both costly and time consuming and may significantly divert the efforts and resources of our technical and management personnel. An adverse determination in any such litigation or proceedings to which we may become a party could subject us to significant liability to third parties, require us to seek licenses from third parties, to pay ongoing royalties, or to redesign our anticipated products or subject us to injunctions prohibiting the manufacture and sale of our anticipated products or the use of our technologies. Protracted litigation could also result in our customers or potential customers deferring or limiting their purchase or use of our anticipated products until resolution of such litigation.

Because the currency we use to do business is generally RMB Yuan, fluctuations in exchange rates could adversely affect our business.

Our consolidated financial statements are expressed in U.S. dollars but our functional currency is RMB Yuan. Our results may be affected by the foreign exchange rate between U.S. dollars and RMB Yuan. To the extent we hold assets denominated in U.S. dollars, any appreciation of the RMB Yuan against the U.S. dollar could result in a change to our income statement and a reduction in the value of our U.S. dollar denominated assets. On the other hand, a decline in the value of RMB Yuan against the U.S. dollar could reduce the U.S. dollar equivalent amounts of our financial results which may have a material adverse effect on the price of our shares.

We have limited insurance coverage and may incur losses resulting from product liability claims or business interruptions.

We may be exposed to risks associated with product liability claims in the event that the use of the PV products we sell results in injury. Since our products are electricity producing devices, it is possible that users may be injured or killed by our products, whether by product malfunctions, defects, improper installation or other causes. We are unable to predict whether product liability claims will be brought against us in the future or the effect of any resulting adverse publicity on our business. Moreover, we do not have any product liability insurance and may not have adequate resources to satisfy a judgment in the event of a successful claim against us. The successful assertion of product liability claims against us could result in potentially significant monetary damages and require us to make significant payments. In addition, as the insurance industry in China is still in an early stage of development, business interruption insurance available in China offers limited coverage compared to that offered in many other countries. We do not have any business interruption insurance. Any business disruption or natural disaster could result in substantial costs and diversion of resources.

Together, our directors own a significant number of shares of our common stock. If our directors act together, they will be able to exert significant influence over, and possibly control, the outcome of all actions requiring stockholder approval.

As of November 30, 2009, our director, President and Chief Executive Officer, Leo Shi Young, beneficially owns 15,284,286 shares of our common stock, or approximately 13.71%, of our common stock. Shi Jian Yin, an executive officer and a director, also beneficially owns 11,100,000 shares of our common stock, or approximately 9.95%, of our common stock. Our executive officers and directors as a group have the ability to control up to 25.45% of our voting stock. As long as management owns such a significant percentage of our common stock, our other stockholders may be unable to affect or change the management or the direction of our company without their support. If they act together, our executive officers and directors will be able to exert significant influence over the outcome of all corporate actions requiring stockholder approval, including the election of directors, amendments to our certificate of incorporation and approval of significant corporate transactions.

Our net future income, if any, could be adversely affected based on share-based compensation granted to employees and consultant, and changes in the fair value of the Series A and Series B warrants outstanding.

The Company has granted and will continue to grant options to purchase common stock of the Company to employees and consultants in accordance with the terms of the Company’s Amended and Restated 2007 Equity Incentive Plan and 2008 Restricted Stock Plan. The Company accounts for options and restricted shares granted to our directors and employees in accordance with the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) ASC 718, “Compensation – Stock Compensation”, formerly referenced as Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123 (Revised 2004), “Share-Based Payments”, or SFAS 123R, which requires all companies to recognize, as an expense, the fair value of share options, restricted shares and other share-based compensation to employees. As a result, we have to account for compensation costs for all share options and restricted shares using a fair-value based method and recognize expenses in our consolidated statement of operations in accordance with the relevant rules under generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America ("GAAP"), which may have a material and adverse effect on our reported earnings. If we try to avoid incurring these compensation costs, we may not be able to attract and retain key personnel, as options to purchase common stock are an important employee recruitment and retention tool. As we grant employee options to purchase common stock or other share-based compensation, our net income may be adversely affected by such grants.

During March 2007, in conjunction with the issuance of $17,300,000 in convertible debt, the board of directors approved the issuance of Series A and Series B Warrants to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock. The Series A and Series B Warrants are classified as a liability, as required by FASB ASC 480, “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity”, formerly referenced as SFAS No. 150, “Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Characteristics of Both Liabilities and Equity”, due to the terms of the warrant agreement which contains a cash redemption provision in the event of a fundamental transaction. These terms remain unchanged upon the closing of the transactions contemplated in the Conversion Agreement discussed above. Accordingly, the warrants will continue to be measured at fair value at each reporting period and the changes in fair value of the warrants are recorded in the account “gain (loss) on fair market value of warrant liability” in our accompanying consolidated statements of operations. As a result, our net income could be adversely affected if there is a loss on the fair market value of the warrant liability.

Existing regulations and changes to such regulations may present technical, regulatory and economic barriers to the purchase and use of solar power products, which may significantly reduce demand for our products.

The market for electricity generation products is heavily influenced by foreign, federal, state and local government regulations and policies concerning the electric utility industry, as well as internal policies and regulations promulgated by electric utilities. These regulations and policies often relate to electricity pricing and technical interconnection of customer-owned electricity generation. In the United States and in a number of other countries, these regulations and policies are being modified and may continue to be modified. Customer purchases of, or further investment in the research and development of, alternative energy sources, including solar power technology, could be deterred by these regulations and policies, which could result in a significant reduction in the potential demand for our PV products.

The Company is subject to a variety of foreign, federal, state and local governmental laws and regulations related to the purchase, storage, use and disposal of hazardous materials.

In its manufacturing process, the Company uses, generates and discharges toxic, volatile or otherwise hazardous chemicals and wastes in its manufacturing activities. We believe that we have properly handled our hazardous materials and wastes and have appropriately remediated any contamination at any of our premises. If the Company fails to comply with present or future environmental laws and regulations, we could be subject to fines, suspension of production or a cessation of operations. In addition, under some foreign, federal, state and local statutes and regulations, a governmental agency may seek recovery and response costs from operators of property where releases of hazardous substances have occurred or are ongoing, even if the operator was not responsible for the release or otherwise was not at fault. Any failure by us to control the use of or to restrict adequately the discharge of, hazardous substances could subject us to substantial financial liabilities, operational interruptions and adverse publicity, any of which could materially and adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition.

Because a majority of our products are sold with warranties extending for 25 years, problems with product quality or product performance may cause us to incur warranty expenses. If these expenses are significant, they could have a material adverse affect on our business and results of operations.

The practice in our industry is to offer long product warranties. We offer a product warranty with a term of 25 years. Due to the long warranty period, we bear the risk of extensive warranty claims long after we have shipped the product and recognized the revenues. Because our products are new to the market, we are not able to evaluate their performance for the entire warranty period before we offer them for sale. If our products fail to perform as we expect them to and we are required to cover a significant number of warranty claims, the expenses related to such claims could have a material adverse affect on our business and results of operations.

The reduction or elimination of government economic incentives could prevent us from achieving sales and market share.

We believe that the near-term growth of the market for PV products depends in large part on the availability and size of government and economic incentives. The reduction or elimination of government economic incentives may adversely affect the growth of this market or result in increased price competition, which could prevent us from achieving sales and market share.

Today, the cost of solar power exceeds the cost of power furnished by the electric utility grid in many locations. As a result, federal, state and local government bodies in many countries, most notably Germany, Spain, Japan and the United States, have provided incentives in the form of rebates, tax credits and other incentives to end users, distributors, system integrators and manufacturers of solar power products to promote the use of solar energy in on-grid applications and to reduce dependency on fossil fuels. These government economic incentives could be reduced or eliminated altogether, which would significantly harm our business as we have marketed products in those economies.

We are subject to new corporate governance and internal control reporting requirements, and our costs related to compliance with, or our failure to comply with existing and future requirements, could adversely affect our business.

We face new corporate governance requirements under the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, as well as new rules and regulations subsequently adopted by the SEC and the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board. These laws, rules and regulations continue to evolve and may become increasingly stringent in the future. In particular, under rules proposed by the SEC, we are required to include management’s report on internal controls as part of our annual report for the fiscal year ending September 30, 2008 pursuant to Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. Furthermore, under the applicable rules, an attestation report on our internal controls from our independent registered public accounting firm will be included as part of our annual report for the fiscal year ending September 30, 2010. The financial cost of compliance with these laws, rules and regulations is expected to be substantial. We cannot assure you that we will be able to fully comply with these laws, rules and regulations that address corporate governance, internal control reporting and similar matters. Failure to comply with these laws, rules and regulations could materially adversely affect our reputation, financial condition and the value of our securities.

Our management discovered material weaknesses in our internal controls over financial reporting that, if not properly remediated, could result in material misstatements in our financial statements, which could cause inventors to lose confidence in our reported financial information and have a negative effect on the trading price of our stock.

In connection with our 2009 financial statement audit, our management identified material weaknesses. The weaknesses were related to the Company’s lack of a sufficient number of finance personnel with an appropriate level of knowledge, experience and training in the application of GAAP as well as inadequate controls over the closing and reporting processes, which resulted in audit adjustments to our fiscal year 2009 annual consolidated financial statements. A discussion of the material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting and management’s remediation efforts is available herein under the subheading “Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting”.

Material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting may materially impact our reported financial results and the market price of our stock could significantly decline. Additionally, adverse publicity related to a material failure of internal control over financial reporting could have a negative impact on our reputation and business.

RISKS RELATED TO DOING BUSINESS IN CHINA

Adverse changes in political and economic policies of the PRC government could have a material adverse effect on the overall economic growth of China, which could reduce the demand for our anticipated products and materially and adversely affect our competitive position.

All of our business operations are conducted in China and most of our sales are made in China, although we are in the process of attempting to establish US distribution for our future products. Accordingly, our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects are affected significantly by economic, political and legal developments in China. The Chinese economy differs from the economies of most developed countries in many respects, including:

•

The amount of government involvement;

•

The level of development;

•

The growth rate;

•

The control of foreign exchange; and

•

The allocation of resources.

While the Chinese economy has grown significantly in the past 20 years, the growth has been uneven, both geographically and among various sectors of the economy. The PRC government has implemented various measures to encourage economic growth and guide the allocation of resources. Some of these measures benefit the overall Chinese economy, but may also have a negative effect on us. For example, our financial condition and results of operations may be adversely affected by government control over capital investments or changes in tax regulations that are applicable to us.

The Chinese economy has been transitioning from a planned economy to a more market-oriented economy. Although in recent years the PRC government has implemented measures emphasizing the utilization of market forces for economic reform, the reduction of state ownership of productive assets and the establishment of sound corporate governance in business enterprises, a substantial portion of the productive assets in China is still owned by the PRC government. The continued control of these assets and other aspects of the national economy by the PRC government could materially and adversely affect our business. The PRC government also exercises significant control over Chinese economic growth through the allocation of resources, controlling payment of foreign currency-denominated obligations, setting monetary policy and providing preferential treatment to particular industries or companies. Efforts by the PRC government to slow the pace of growth of the Chinese economy could result in decreased capital expenditure by solar energy users, which in turn could reduce demand for our anticipated products.

Any adverse change in the economic conditions or government policies in China could have a material adverse effect on the overall economic growth and the level of renewable energy investments and expenditures in China, which in turn could lead to a reduction in the demand for our anticipated products and consequently have a material adverse effect on our businesses.

Uncertainties with respect to the Chinese legal system could have a material adverse effect on us.

We conduct substantially all of our business through a subsidiary in China. This subsidiary is generally subject to laws and regulations applicable to foreign investment in China and, in particular, laws applicable to wholly foreign-owned enterprises. The PRC legal system is based on written statutes. Prior court decisions may be cited for reference but have limited precedential value. Since 1979, PRC legislation and regulations have significantly enhanced the protections afforded to various forms of foreign investments in China. However, since these laws and regulations are relatively new and the PRC legal system continues to rapidly evolve, the interpretations of many laws, regulations and rules are not always uniform and enforcement of these laws, regulations and rules involve uncertainties, which may limit legal protections available to us. In addition, any litigation in China may be protracted and result in substantial costs and diversion of resources and management attention.

You may experience difficulties in effecting service of legal process, enforcing foreign judgments or bringing original actions in China based on United States or other foreign laws against us or our management.

We conduct a substantial portion of our operations in China and the majority of our assets are located in China. In addition, all of our executive officers reside within China. As a result, it may not be possible to effect service of process within the United States or in China against us or upon our executive officers, including with respect to matters arising under United States federal securities laws or applicable state securities laws. Moreover, there is uncertainty that the courts of China would enforce judgments of United States courts against us or our directors and officers based on the civil liability provisions of the securities laws of the United States or any state, or entertain an original action brought in China based upon the securities laws of the United States or any state.

Restrictions on currency exchange may limit our ability to receive and use our revenues effectively.

Foreign exchange transactions by our Shanghai subsidiary under the capital account continue to be subject to significant foreign exchange controls and require the approval of PRC governmental authorities, including the SAFE. We will need to fund our Shanghai subsidiary by means of capital contributions. We cannot assure you that we will be able to obtain government approvals on a timely basis, if at all, with respect to future capital contributions by the U.S. Company to our Shanghai subsidiary. If we fail to receive such approvals, our ability to use the proceeds we have received from our fund raising to capitalize our PRC operations may be negatively affected, which could materially and adversely affect our liquidity and our ability to fund and expand our business.

RISKS RELATED TO AN INVESTMENT IN OUR SECURITIES

Our stock price is volatile. There is no guarantee that the shares you purchase will appreciate in value or that you will be able to sell your shares at a price that is greater than the price you paid for them.

The trading price of our common stock has been and continues to be subject to fluctuations. The stock price may fluctuate in response to a number of events and factors, such as quarterly variations in operating results, the operating and stock performance of other companies that investors may deem comparable and news reports relating to trends in the marketplace, among other factors. Significant volatility in the market price of our common stock may arise due to factors such as:

•

our developing business;

•

a continued negative cash flow;

•

relatively low price per share;

•

relatively low public float;

•

variations in quarterly operating results;

•

general trends in the industries in which we do business;

•

the number of holders of our common stock; and

•

the interest of securities dealers in maintaining a market for our common stock.

We cannot guarantee you that the shares you purchase will appreciate in value or that you will be able to sell the shares at a price equal to or greater than what you paid for them.

The OTC Bulletin Board is a quotation system, not an issuer listing service, market or exchange. Therefore, buying and selling stock on the OTC Bulletin Board is not as efficient as buying and selling stock through an exchange. As a result, it may be difficult for you to sell your common stock or you may not be able to sell your common stock for an optimum trading price.

The OTC Bulletin Board is a regulated quotation service that displays real-time quotes, last sale prices and volume limitations in over-the-counter securities. Because trades and quotations on the OTC Bulletin Board involve a manual process, the market information for such securities cannot be guaranteed. In addition, quote information, or even firm quotes, may not be available. The manual execution process may delay order processing and intervening price fluctuations may result in the failure of a limit order to execute or the execution of a market order at a significantly different price. Execution of trades, execution reporting and the delivery of legal trade confirmations may be delayed significantly. Consequently, one may not be able to sell shares of our common stock at the optimum trading prices.

When fewer shares of a security are being traded on the OTC Bulletin Board, volatility of prices may increase and price movement may outpace the ability to deliver accurate quote information. Lower trading volumes in a security may result in a lower likelihood of an individual’s orders being executed, and current prices may differ significantly from the price one was quoted by the OTC Bulletin Board at the time of the order entry.

Orders for OTC Bulletin Board securities may not be canceled or edited like orders for other securities. All requests to change or cancel an order must be submitted to, received and processed by the OTC Bulletin Board. Due to the manual order processing involved in handling OTC Bulletin Board trades, order processing and reporting may be delayed, and an individual may not be able to cancel or edit his order. Consequently, one may not able to sell shares of common stock at the optimum trading prices. The dealer’s spread (the difference between the bid and ask prices) may be large and may result in substantial losses to the seller of securities on the OTC Bulletin Board if the common stock or other security must be sold immediately. Further, purchasers of securities may incur an immediate “paper” loss due to the price spread. Moreover, dealers trading on the OTC Bulletin Board may not have a bid price for securities bought and sold through the OTC Bulletin Board. Due to the foregoing, demand for securities that are traded through the OTC Bulletin Board may be decreased or eliminated.

We are subject to the penny stock rules and these rules may adversely affect trading in our common stock.

Our common stock is a “low-priced” security under rules promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. In accordance with these rules, broker-dealers participating in transactions in low-priced securities must first deliver a risk disclosure document which describes the risks associated with such stocks, the broker-dealer duties in selling the stock, the customer’s rights and remedies and certain market and other information. Furthermore, the broker-dealer must make a suitability determination approving the customer for low-priced stock transactions based on the customer’s financial situation, investment experience and objectives. Broker-dealers must also disclose these restrictions in writing to the customer, obtain specific written consent from the customer, and provide monthly account statements to the customer. The effect of these restrictions probably decreases the willingness of broker-dealers to make a market in our common stock, decreases liquidity of our common stock and increases transaction costs for sales and purchases of our common stock as compared to other securities.

There may be a limited market for our securities and we may fail to qualify for another listing.

In the event that our common stock fails to qualify for continued inclusion on OTC Bulletin Board our common stock could become quoted in what are commonly referred to as the “pink sheets.” Under such circumstances, it may be more difficult to dispose of, or to obtain accurate quotations, for our common stock, and our common stock would become substantially less attractive to certain investors, such as financial institutions and hedge funds.

We have no plans to pay dividends.

We have not paid any cash dividends to date and do not expect to pay dividends for the foreseeable future. We intend to retain earnings, if any, as necessary to finance the operation and expansion of our business.

We have raised substantial amounts of capital in private placements and if we inadvertently failed to comply with the applicable securities laws, ensuing rescission rights or lawsuits would severely damage our financial position.

Some securities offered in our private placements were not registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), or any state “blue sky” law in reliance upon exemptions from such registration requirements. Such exemptions are highly technical in nature and if we inadvertently failed to comply with the requirements or any of such exemptions, investors would have the right to rescind their purchase of our securities or sue for damages. If one or more investors were to successfully seek such rescission or prevail in any such suit, we would face severe financial demands that could materially and adversely affect our financial position. Financings that may be available to us under current market conditions frequently involve sales at prices below the prices at which our common stock currently is reported on the OTC Bulletin Board, as well as the issuance of warrants or convertible securities at a discount to market price.

ITEM 2. DESCRIPTION OF PROPERTY

All of our properties are leased and we do not own any real property.

We lease a 45,601 square foot manufacturing and research facility in Shanghai’s Jinqiao Modern Science and Technology Park. The lease expires on February 19, 2011. The termination clause in the agreement requires a notice of three months. Monthly costs are $21,000. We leased the second manufacturing facility with 21,506 square feet with monthly rent of $11,000. The lease expires in August 2012.

The Company also has an operating lease for 9,588 square foot of office space in Shanghai, at a monthly cost of $34,000. The lease expires in May 2010, can be renewed with a three-month advance notice, and cannot be terminated prior to expiration.

Finally, the Company leases 678 square feet of office space in Mountain View, in Northern California’s Silicon Valley, to handle our United States operations.

We consider these facilities adequate to meet our current needs.

Dividends

We have neither declared nor paid any cash dividends on our capital stock and do not anticipate paying cash dividends in the foreseeable future. Our current policy is to retain any earnings in order to finance the expansion of our operations. Our Board of Directors will determine future declaration and payment of dividends, if any, in light of the then-current conditions they deem relevant and in accordance with applicable corporate law.

Authorized Shares

On May 5, 2008, the Company’s stockholders approved an increase of the Company’s authorized capital stock from 200 million common shares with a par value of $0.001 to 400 million common shares with a par value of $0.001. The increase in the Company’s authorized capital was effected in conjunction with the Company’s reincorporation into the State of Delaware.

Amended and Restated 2007 Equity Incentive Plan

On September 24, 2007, our Board of Directors approved the adoption of the 2007 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2007 Plan”). The 2007 Plan provides for the issuance of a maximum of 10 million shares of common stock in connection with awards under the 2007 Plan. Such awards may include stock options, restricted stock purchase rights, restricted stock bonuses and restricted stock unit awards. The 2007 Plan may be administered by the Company’s Board of Directors or a committee duly appointed by the Board of Directors and has a term of 10 years. Participation in the 2007 Plan is limited to employees, directors and consultants of the Company and its subsidiaries and other affiliates. Options granted under the 2007 Plan must have an exercise price per share not less than the fair market value of the Company’s common stock on the date of grant. Options granted under the 2007 Plan may not have a term exceeding 10 years. Awards will vest upon conditions established by the Board of Directors or it’s duly appointed Committee. Subject to the requirements and limitations of section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, in the event of a Change in Control (as defined in the 2007 Plan), the Board of Directors may provide for the acceleration of the exercisability or vesting and/settlement of any award, the Board of Directors may provide for a cash-out of awards or the Acquirer (as defined in the 2007 Plan) may either assume or continue the Company’s rights and obligations under any awards.

Rules Governing Low-Price Stocks that May Affect Our Stockholders’ Ability to Resell Shares of Our Common Stock

Our stock trades under the symbol “SOEN” on FINRA’s OTCBB.

Quotations on the OTCBB reflect inter-dealer prices, without retail mark-up, markdown or commission and may not reflect actual transactions. Our common stock may be subject to certain rules adopted by the SEC that regulate broker-dealer practices in connection with transactions in “penny stocks”. Penny stocks generally are securities with a price of less than $5.00, other than securities registered on certain national exchanges or quoted on the NASDAQ system, provided that the exchange or system provides current price and volume information with respect to transaction in such securities. The additional sales practice and disclosure requirements imposed upon broker-dealers may discourage broker-dealers from effecting transactions in our shares which could severely limit the market liquidity of the shares and impede the sale of our shares in the secondary market.

The penny stock rules require broker-dealers, prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from the rules, to make a special suitability determination for the purchaser to receive the purchaser’s written consent to the transaction prior to sale, to deliver standardized risk disclosure documents prepared by the SEC that provides information about penny stocks and the nature and level of risks in the penny stock market. The broker-dealer must also provide the customer with current bid and offer quotations for the penny stock. In addition, the penny stock regulations require the broker-dealer to deliver, prior to any transaction involving a penny stock, a disclosure schedule prepared by the SEC relating to the penny stock market, unless the broker-dealer or the transaction is otherwise exempt. A broker-dealer is also required to disclose commissions payable to the broker-dealer and the registered representative and current quotations for the securities. Finally, a broker-dealer is required to send monthly statements disclosing recent price information with respect to the penny stock held in a customer’s account and information with respect to the limited market in penny stocks.

Company Description and Overview

We originally incorporated under the laws of the State of Nevada on July 7, 2004 and reincorporated to the State of Delaware on August 13, 2008. We engaged in a variety of businesses, including home security assistance, until March 2006, when we began our current operations. We manufacture and sell photovoltaic (commonly known as “PV”) cells and modules. PV modules consist of solar cells that produce electricity from the sun’s rays. Our manufacturing operations consisted of one 25MW solar cell production line and 50MW of solar module production facility. Our 67,107 square foot manufacturing facility is located in Shanghai, China.

Our solar cells and modules are sold under the brand name “SolarE”. Our total revenue for fiscal year 2009 was $32.8 million and our end users are mainly in Europe. In anticipation of entering the US market, we had established a marketing, purchasing and distribution office in Mountain View, California. Our goal is to become a worldwide supplier of PV cells and modules.

We purchase our key raw materials, silicon wafer, from the spot market. We do not have a long term contract with any silicon supplier. However, on August 21, 2008, we entered into an equity purchase agreement with 21-Century Silicon, Inc., a polysilicon manufacturer based in Dallas, Texas (“21-Century Silicon”) to acquire two million shares of common stock, for $1 million cash. As of September 30, 2009, the two million shares acquired by us constituted approximately 5.5% of 21-Century Silicon’s outstanding equity. Related to the equity purchase agreement, we also signed a memorandum of understanding with 21-Century Silicon for a four-year supply framework agreement for polysilicon shipments. Through its proprietary technology, processes and methods, 21-Century Silicon is planning to manufacture solar-grade polysilicon at a lower manufacturing and plant setup cost, as well as a shorter plant setup time than those of its major competitors. If 21-Century Silicon's manufacturing goals are met, 21-Century Silicon’s customers, including us, will benefit from the cost advantages and will expect to receive a high-purity product at a price significantly lower than that offered elsewhere within the industry.

On April 27, 2009, we entered into a Joint Venture Agreement (the “JV Agreement”) with Jiangsu Shunda Semiconductor Development Co., Ltd. (“Jiangsu Shunda”) to form a joint venture in the United States by forming a new company, to be known as Shunda-SolarE Technologies, Inc. (the “Joint Venture Company”), in order to jointly pursue opportunities in the United States solar market. After its formation, the Joint Venture Company’s name was later changed to SET-Solar Corp.

Pursuant to the terms of the JV Agreement, Jiangsu Shunda owns 55% of the Joint Venture Company, we own 35% of the Joint Venture Company and the remaining 10% of the Joint Venture Company is owned by the Joint Venture Company’s management. The Joint Venture Company’s Board of Directors consist of five directors: three of the directors are nominated by Jiangsu Shunda and two of whom were nominated by us. Furthermore, Mr. Yunda Ni, the President of Jiangsu Shunda, serves as the Joint Venture Company’s Chairman of the Board and Mr. Leo Shi Young, our Chief Executive Officer serves as the Joint Venture Company’s Vice Chairman of the Board. Jiangsu Shunda is responsible for managing the Joint Venture Company in China and we are responsible for the managing the Joint Venture Company in the United States. The JV Agreement is valid for 18 months.

SET-Solar Corp appointed Roland Chu, an experienced Silicon Valley entrepreneur as Chief Executive Officer. The Joint Venture team had made significant progress during the fiscal year 2009. It obtained the a California Solar Initiative listing, which enabled SET-Solar Corp to penetrate multiple sectors of the PV market in the United States. SET Solar’s strategy with customers has been to move beyond simply supplying solar panels to offer a more comprehensive service solution that includes inverters and other accessories, as well as financing and leasing options. SET-Solar Corp also made a very successful appearance at the Solar Power International Conference from October 27 to October 29, 2009 at the Anaheim Convention Center in Anaheim, California. SET-Solar Corp exhibited its polysilicon material, silicon ingots and wafers produced by Jiangsu Shunda and high-efficiency solar cells and high-performance solar modules produced by Solar EnerTech.

In December 2006, we entered into an agreement with Shanghai University to jointly operate a research facility to study various aspects of advanced PV technology. Our collaboration with Shanghai University is for shared investment in research and development on fundamental and applied technologies in the fields of semi-conductive photovoltaic theory, materials, cells and modules. The agreement calls for Shanghai University to provide equipment, personnel and facilities for joint laboratories. It is our responsibility to provide funding, personnel and facilities for conducting research and testing. Research and development achievements from this joint research and development agreement will be available for use by both parties. We are entitled to the intellectual property rights, including copyrights and patents, obtained as a result of this research. The research and development we will undertake pursuant to this agreement includes the following:

•

we plan to research and test theories of PV, thermo-physics, physics of materials and chemistry;

•

we plan to develop efficient and ultra-efficient PV cells with light/electricity conversion rates ranging from 20% to 35%;

•

we plan to develop environmentally friendly high conversion rate manufacturing technology of chemical compound film PV cell materials;

•

we plan to develop highly reliable, low-cost manufacturing technology and equipment for thin film PV cells;

•

we plan to research and develop key material for low-cost flexible film PV cells and non-vacuum technology; and

•

we plan to research and develop key technology and fundamental theory for third-generation PV cells.

To date, we have raised money for the development of our business through the sale of our equity securities. On January 12, 2008, we sold 24,318,181 shares of our common stock and 24,318,181 Series C warrants to purchase shares of common stock for an aggregate purchase price of $21.4 million in a private placement offering to accredited investors. The original exercise price of the warrants is $1.00 per share. Pursuant to the Warrant Amendment, the exercise price has been reduced to $0.15. The warrants are exercisable for a period of 5 years from the date of issuance of the warrants. We used the net proceeds from the offering for working capital and general corporate purposes. In March 2007 we also raised $17.3 million through sales of units consisting of our Series A and Series B Convertible Notes and warrants. As discussed elsewhere, the Series A and Series B Convertible Notes have been converted into shares of our common stock pursuant to the Conversion Agreement and the Series A and Series B warrants exercise price have been reduced to $0.15 pursuant to the Warrant Amendment. The proceeds were used to complete our production line and working capital purpose.

Our future operations are dependent upon the achievement of profitable operations. Other than as discussed in this report, we know of no trends, events or uncertainties that are reasonably likely to impact our future liquidity.

Results of Operations

Comparison of the Fiscal Years Ended September 30, 2009 and 2008

Revenues, Cost of Sales and Gross Margin

	Year Ended September 30, 2009						Year Ended September 30, 2008						Year-Over-Year Change
	Amount			% of net sales			Amount			% of net sales			Amount			% of change
Sales	$	32,835,000			100.0	%	$	29,412,000			100.0	%	$	3,423,000			11.6	%
Cost of sales		(33,876,000	)		(103.2	)%		(33,104,000	)		(112.6	)%		(772,000	)		2.3	%
Gross loss	$	(1,041,000	)		(3.2	)%	$	(3,692,000	)		(12.6	)%	$	2,651,000			(71.8	)%

For the fiscal year ended September 30, 2009, the Company reported total revenue of $32.8 million, representing an increase of $3.4 million or 11.6% compared to $29.4 million of revenue in the same period of fiscal year 2008. The increase in revenue resulted from increases in solar module shipments from 6.67 MW in fiscal year 2008 to 10.50MW in fiscal year 2009, partially offset by a 25% decrease in average selling prices for solar modules from $4.10 per watt in fiscal year 2008 to $3.07 per watt in fiscal year 2009. In fiscal year 2009, we recruited an experienced sales director in April 2009 and adjusted the reward system for the sales team which contributed to higher sales. Further, during the last quarter of fiscal year 2009, we acquired a new key customer, specifically a 10.00MW contract with a German system integrator contributing to the increase in sales volume.

For the fiscal year ended September 30, 2009, we incurred a negative gross margin of $1.0 million compared to $3.7 million in the same period of fiscal year 2008. The gross margin improvement is more apparent if a quarter-by-quarter comparison is made. We began generating a positive gross margin, 4.8% as percentage of net sales in the third quarter of fiscal year 2009, and improved our gross margin to 16.0% as percentage of net sales in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2009, while the gross margin in the first and second quarters of fiscal year 2009 was negative 46% and negative 30%, respectively. The improvement in the gross profit margin was primarily due to the decrease in raw material prices, specifically the silicon wafer prices which offset the decrease in module sales prices. Silicon wafer prices decreased approximately 65% from RMB 46/piece during fiscal year 2008 to RMB16/piece during fiscal year 2009, as compared to module sales prices that decreased approximately 41% from EUR2.2/watt during fiscal year 2008 to EUR1.3/watt during fiscal year 2009. A special team led by our Chief Financial Officer spent significant amount of time and efforts on securing high quality key raw materials on the spot market with favorable credit terms. The Company also promoted a lean and zero inventory system to control quality and unqualified products. Further, the Company recruited an experienced sales director from the industry and built up a strong sales and marketing team, which resulted in new key customers. The increased sales volume also resulted in lower average fixed manufacturing cost. In addition, the Company engaged in various cost cutting programs and renegotiated most of the contracts to reduce operating expenses.

Selling, general and administrative

	Year Ended September 30, 2009					Year Ended September 30, 2008					Year-Over-Year Change
	Amount		% of net sales			Amount		% of net sales			Amount			% of change
Selling, general and administrative	$	9,224,000		28.1	%	$	11,778,000		40.0	%	$	(2,554,000	)		(21.7	)%

For the fiscal year ended September 30, 2009, we incurred selling, general and administrative expense of $9.2 million, representing a decrease of $2.6 million or 21.7% from $11.8 million in the same period of fiscal year 2008. Selling, general and administrative expense as a percentage of net sales for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2009 decreased to 28.1% from 40.0% for fiscal year 2008. The decrease in the selling, general and administrative expenses were primarily due to a decrease of $2.3 million in stock-based compensation expenses related to employee options and restricted stock from $5.3 million for fiscal year ended September 30, 2008 to $3.0 million for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2009, which resulted from termination of several senior executives and forfeiture rate adjustment as a result of our recent management team restructuring.

Research & development

	Year Ended September 30, 2009					Year Ended September 30, 2008					Year-Over-Year Change
	Amount		% of net sales			Amount		% of net sales			Amount			% of change
Research and development	$	700,000		2.1	%	$	702,000		2.4	%	$	(2,000	)		(0.3	)%

Research and development expenses in the fiscal years ended September 30, 2009 and 2008 were flat at $0.7 million. Research and development expenses as a percentage of net sales for the fiscal years ended September 30, 2009 and 2008 were 2.1% and 2.4%, respectively. The research and development expenses primarily relate to personnel expenses, stock-based compensation expenses and our commitments to fund our research and development contract with Shanghai University.

Loss on debt extinguishment

	Year Ended September 30, 2009					Year Ended September 30, 2008					Year-Over-Year Change
	Amount		% of net sales			Amount		% of net sales			Amount			% of change
Loss on debt extinguishment	$	527,000		1.6	%	$	4,240,000		14.4	%	$	(3,713,000	)		(87.6	)%

For the fiscal year ended September 30, 2009, we incurred a loss on debt extinguishment of $0.5 million. The loss of $0.5 million was related to converting some of the Series A and B Convertible Notes into common stock. For the fiscal year ended September 30, 2008, we incurred a loss on debt extinguishment of $4.2 million. That loss was the result of a loss of $4.6 million related to converting Series A and B Convertible Notes into common stock, partially offset by a gain of approximately $0.4 million on the settlement of loan due to Coach Capital LLC and Infotech Essentials Ltd. The decrease in loss on debt extinguishment was mainly due to less Series A and B Convertible Notes that were converted into the Company’s common shares. A total of Series A and B Convertible Notes were converted into the Company’s common shares for fiscal years ended September 30, 2009 and 2008 were $0.9 million and $4.9 million, respectively.

Impairment Loss on Property and Equipment

	Year Ended September 30, 2009					Year Ended September 30, 2008					Year-Over-Year Change
	Amount		% of net sales			Amount		% of net sales			Amount		% of change

For the fiscal year ended September 30, 2009, total other expenses were $1.7 million, representing an increase of $27.7 million or 106.7% compared to total other income of $26.0 million for the prior year. Other expenses as a percentage of net sales for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2009 changed to negative 5.3% from positive 88.2%, which is other income as a percentage of net sales for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2008. In the fiscal year ended September 30, 2009, we recorded a gain on change in fair market value of compound embedded derivative of $0.8 million and a gain on change in fair market value of warrant liability of $1.3 million compared to a gain on change in fair market value of compound embedded derivative of $13.8 million and a gain on change in fair market value of warrant liability of $14.0 million during the fiscal year ended September 30, 2008. The decrease in the Company’s stock price is less significant in the fiscal year ended September 30, 2009 than in the fiscal year ended September 30, 2008, which resulted in less decrease in the fair value of the compound embedded derivative and warrant liability and less gains on change in fair market value of the compound embedded derivative and warrant liability. We incurred interest expenses of $4.0 million and $1.0 million in the fiscal years ended September 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively, primarily related to amortization on discounted convertible notes and deferred financing cost, and 6% interest charges on Series A and B Convertible Notes. Other income of $0.1 million for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2009 and other expense of $0.8 million for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2008 were primarily related to foreign exchange gain (loss).

As of September 30, 2009 and 2008, we had cash and cash equivalents of $1.7 million and $3.2 million, respectively. We will require a significant amount of cash to fund our operations. Changes in our operating plans, an increase in our inventory, increased expenses, additional acquisitions, or other events, may cause us to seek additional equity or debt financing in the future.

Net cash used in operating activities were $1.1 million and $10.2 million for the fiscal years ended September 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively. To present cash flows from operating activities, net loss for each of the past two years had to be adjusted for certain significant items. After adjusting for the impact of $1.7 million and $23.4 million for fiscal years 2009 and 2008 respectively resulting from the change on the fair market value of the compound derivative liabilities and warrants liabilities, amortization of note discount and deferred financing cost, and loss on debt extinguishment, the net loss is $12.5 million and $17.8 million for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2009 and September 30, 2008 respectively. The decrease of $9.0 million in net cash used in operating activities from 2009 to 2008 was mainly attributable to the following reasons:

The decrease of $5.3 million in the net loss, after the adjustments related to the compound derivative liabilities and warrants liabilities, amortization of note discount and deferred financing cost, and loss on debt extinguishment, which mainly results from stronger sales generated in the fiscal year ended September 30, 2009;

The decrease of $0.2 million in the non-cash charges related to depreciation of property and equipment, stock-based compensation, and the impairment loss on property and equipment; and

Favorable changes in operating assets of $3.9 million primarily resulting from higher accounts payable related to inventory, lower VAT receivables, and lower advance payments for raw material purchases, partially offset by higher accounts receivable, reflecting the Company’s improved operational results, coupled with strong reputation and creditability among key raw material suppliers, which allows us to obtain more favorable payment terms. Lower advance payments is another change in the industry after the financial crisis, which changed the previously required 100% cash advance to secure key raw material (wafer) to zero in the current economic situation.

Net cash used in investment activities were $0.4 million and $10.5 million in the fiscal years ended September 30, 2009 and 2008. The decrease of $10.1 million in net cash used in investing activities was primarily due to lower property and equipment acquisitions during the fiscal year ended September 30, 2009 compared to the fiscal year ended September 30, 2008, because our current property and equipment are adequate to support our productions and we have no plan to expand our production lines.

There was no cash provided by financing activities for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2009. Net cash provided by financing activities totaled $19.9 million for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2008 was mainly due to proceeds in January 2008 from issuing common stock and warrants, net of financing cost through a private equity financing.

Future minimum payments under all non-cancelable lease obligations and payments under our agreement with Shanghai University are as follows as of September 30, 2009:

			Payments Due by Period
	Total		Less than 1 year		1 to 3 years		4 to 5 year		More than 5 years

Our consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the assumption that the Company will continue as a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business. The independent auditor’s report on our financial statements as of and for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2009 included herein contains an explanatory paragraph stating that our recurring net losses and negative cash flows from operations raises substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. The fiscal year 2009 consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effects on the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classification of liabilities that may result from uncertainty related to the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

As of September 30, 2009, we had outstanding convertible notes with a principal balance of $11.6 million consisting of $2.5 million in principal amount of Series A Convertible Notes and $9.1 million in principal amount of Series B Convertible Notes, which were recorded at carrying amount at $3.1 million. These Notes bear interest at 6% per annum and are due on March 7, 2010.

We only had $1.7 million in cash and cash equivalents on hand as of September 30, 2009. On January 7, 2010, we entered into the Conversion Agreement with the holders of Notes representing at least seventy-five percent of the aggregate principal amounts outstanding under the Notes to modify the terms of the Notes. Pursuant to the terms of the Conversion Agreement, the Notes will be automatically converted into shares of our common stock at a conversion price of $0.15 per share and shall be amended to eliminate the maximum ownership percentage restriction prior to such conversion. Under the Conversion Agreement, the Notes have been amended and election has been taken such that all outstanding principal, all accrued but unpaid interest, and all accrued and unpaid Late Charges (as defined in the Notes) with respect to all of the outstanding Notes have been automatically converted into shares of the Company’s common stock (the “Conversion”) at a conversion price per share of common stock of $0.15 effective as of January 7, 2010 (the “Conversion Date”). As of the Conversion Date, no further payments are owing or payable under the Notes. As of the Conversion Date, each Note no longer represents a right to receive any cash payments (including, but not limited to, interest payments) and only represents a right to receive the shares of common stock into which such Note has been automatically converted into.

In connection with the Conversion, on January 7, 2010, we entered into an Amendment to the Series A, Series B and Series C Warrants (the “Warrant Amendment”) with the holders of at least a majority of the common stock underlying each of our outstanding Series A Warrants, Series B Warrants and Series C Warrants (collectively the “PIPE Warrants”). The Warrant Amendment reduces the exercise price for all of the PIPE Warrants from $1.21, $0.90 and $1.00, respectively, to $0.15, removes certain maximum ownership provisions and removes anti-dilution provisions for lower-priced security issuances.

Historically, we have incurred operating loss and cash outflows from operations. Since early fiscal 2009 significant steps were taken to reach operational profitability. Gross margin has turned into positive territory and expenses have been significantly reduced. Starting in the third quarter of fiscal year 2009, we achieved operational profits. Our management expects the current upward trend to continue and we will generate positive cash flow to support our future operations in fiscal year 2010.

We believe that the successful completion of the debt restructuring, along with our existing cash resources and the cash expected to be generated from sales during fiscal year 2010 will be sufficient to meet our projected operating requirements through at least the next twelve months and enable us to continue as a going concern. If we experience a material shortfall versus our plan for fiscal year 2010, we have a range of actions we can take to remediate the cash shortage, including but not limited to raising additional funds through debt financing, including securing a credit facility, entering into secured or unsecured bank loans, or undertaking equity offerings such a rights offering to existing shareholders. However, due to the tight capital and credit markets, we cannot be sure that external financing will be available when needed or that, if available, financing will be obtained on terms favorable to us or our stockholders.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

On August 21, 2008 the Company entered into an equity purchase agreement in which it acquired two million shares of common stock of 21-Century Silicon, a polysilicon manufacturer based in Dallas, Texas, for $1.0 million in cash. The Company is obligated to acquire an additional two million shares at the same per share price upon the first polysilicon shipment meeting the quality specifications determined solely by the Company. On August 21, 2008, the two million shares acquired by the Company constituted approximately 7.8% of 21-Century Silicon’s outstanding equity. As of September 30, 2009, the two million shares acquired by the Company have been diluted and constituted approximately 5.5% of 21-Century Silicon’s outstanding equity. The equity purchase agreement further provides that the Company will be obligated to acquire an additional two million shares upon 21-Century Silicon meeting certain milestones. In connection with the equity purchase agreement, the Company has also signed a memorandum of understanding with 21-Century Silicon for a four-year supply framework agreement for polysilicon shipments. As of September 30, 2009, the Company has not yet acquired the additional two million shares. On March 5, 2009, the Emerging Technology Fund created by the State of Texas invested $3.5 million in 21-Century Silicon.

Critical Accounting Policies

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods.

Our management routinely makes judgments and estimates about the effects of matters that are inherently uncertain. As the number of variables and assumptions affecting the probable future resolution of the uncertainties increase, these judgments become even more subjective and complex. We have identified the following accounting policies, described below, as the most important to an understanding of our current financial condition and results of operations.

Inventories

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market. Cost is determined by the weighted-average method. Market is defined principally as net realizable value. Raw material cost is based on purchase costs while work-in-progress and finished goods are comprised of direct materials, direct labor and an allocation of manufacturing overhead costs. Inventory in-transit is included in finished goods and consists of products shipped but not recognized as revenue because it does not meet the revenue recognition criteria. Provisions are made for excess, slow moving and obsolete inventory as well as inventory whose carrying value is in excess of net realizable value.

Warranty Cost

The Company provides product warranties and accrues for estimated future warranty costs in the period in which the revenue is recognized. Our standard solar modules are typically sold with a two-year warranty for defects in materials and workmanship and a 10-year and 25-year warranty against declines of more than 10.0% and 20.0%, respectively, of the initial minimum power generation capacity at the time of delivery. The Company therefore maintains warranty reserves to cover potential liabilities that could arise from our warranty obligations and accrues the estimated costs of warranties based primarily on management’s best estimate. The Company has not experienced any material warranty claims to date in connection with declines of the power generation capacity of its solar modules and will prospectively revise its actual rate to the extent that actual warranty costs differ from the estimates. As of September 30, 2009 and 2008, the Company’s warrant liability was $515,000 and $252,000, respectively. The Company’s warranty costs for the fiscal years ended September 30, 2009 and 2008 were $263,000 and $248,000, respectively. The Company did not make any warranty payments during the fiscal years ended September 30, 2009 and 2008.

Impairment of Long Lived Assets

The Company reviews its long-lived assets and identifiable intangibles for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of an asset may not be recoverable. When such factors and circumstances exist, management compares the projected undiscounted future cash flows associated with the future use and disposal of the related asset or group of assets to their respective carrying values. Impairment, if any, is measured as the excess of the carrying value over the fair value, based on market value when available, or discounted expected cash flows, of those assets and is recorded in the period in which the determination is made. During fiscal year ended September 30, 2009 the Company recorded an impairment loss on property and equipment of approximately $960,000 to reflect the idle machinery which could not meet the quality requirements and cannot be put into mass production. No loss on property and equipment impairment was recorded during fiscal year ended September 30, 2008.

Investment

Investment in an entity where the Company owns less than twenty percent of the voting stock of the entity and does not exercise significant influence over operating and financial policies of the entity are accounted for using the cost method. Investment in the entity where the Company owns twenty percent or more, but not in excess of fifty percent of the voting stock of the entity or less than twenty percent and exercises significant influence over operating and financial policies of the entity are accounted for using the equity method. The Company has a policy in place to review its investments at least annually, to evaluate the carrying value of the investments in these companies. The cost method investment is subject to impairment assessment if there are identified events or changes in circumstance that may have a significant adverse affect on the fair value of the investment. If the Company believes that the carrying value of an investment is in excess of estimated fair value, it is the Company’s policy to record an impairment charge to adjust the carrying value to the estimated fair value, if the impairment is considered other-than-temporary.

On August 21, 2008, the Company entered into an equity purchase agreement in which it acquired two million shares of common stock of 21-Century Silicon for $1.0 million in cash. On August 21, 2008, the two million shares acquired by the Company constituted approximately 7.8% of 21-Century Silicon’s outstanding equity.

On March 5, 2009, the Emerging Technology Fund, created by the State of Texas had invested $3.5million to expedite innovation and commercialization of research. As of September 30, 2009, the two million shares acquired by the Company have been diluted and constituted approximately 5.5% of 21-Century Silicon’s outstanding equity. The company had performed the impairment assessment during the meeting and determined that the investment was not impaired. As of September 30, 2009, the Company accounted for the investment in 21-Century Silicon at cost amounting to $1.0 million.

Income Taxes

The Company files federal and state income tax returns in the United States for its United States operations, and files separate foreign tax returns for its foreign subsidiary in the jurisdictions in which this entity operates. The Company accounts for income taxes under the provisions of FASB ASC 740, “Income Taxes”, formerly referenced as SFAS No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes”.

Under the provisions of FASB ASC 740, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between their financial statement carrying values and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date.

Valuation Allowance

Significant judgment is required in determining any valuation allowance recorded against deferred tax assets. In assessing the need for a valuation allowance, the Company considers all available evidence including past operating results, estimates of future taxable income, and the feasibility of tax planning strategies. In the event that the Company changes its determination as to the amount of deferred tax assets that can be realized, the Company will adjust its valuation allowance with a corresponding impact to the provision for income taxes in the period in which such determination is made.

Unrecognized Tax Benefits

Effective on October 1, 2007, the Company adopted the provisions related to uncertain tax positions under FASB ASC 740, “Income Taxes”, formerly referenced as FIN 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes - An Interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109”. Under FASB ASC 740, the impact of an uncertain income tax position on the income tax return must be recognized at the largest amount that is more-likely-than-not to be sustained upon audit by the relevant taxing authority based solely on the technical merits of the associated tax position. An uncertain income tax position will not be recognized if it has less than a 50% likelihood of being sustained. The Company also elected the accounting policy that requires interest and penalties to be recognized as a component of tax expense. The Company classifies the unrecognized tax benefits that are expected to result in payment or receipt of cash within one year as current liabilities, otherwise, the unrecognized tax benefits will be classified as non-current liabilities. Additionally, this guidance provides guidance on de-recognition, accounting in interim periods, disclosure and transition.

Fair Value of Warrants

The Company’s management used the binomial valuation model to value the warrants issued in conjunction with convertible notes entered into in March 2007. The model uses inputs such as implied term, suboptimal exercise factor, volatility, dividend yield and risk free interest rate. Selection of these inputs involves management’s judgment and may impact estimated value. Management selected the binomial model to value these warrants as opposed to the Black-Scholes-Merton model primarily because management believes the binomial model produces a more reliable value for these instruments because it uses an additional valuation input factor, the suboptimal exercise factor, which accounts for expected holder exercise behavior which management believes is a reasonable assumption with respect to the holders of these warrants.

Stock-Based Compensation

On January 1, 2006, Solar EnerTech began recording compensation expense associated with stock options and other forms of employee equity compensation in accordance with FASB ASC 718, “Compensation – Stock Compensation”.

The Company estimates the fair value of stock options granted using the Black-Scholes-Merton option-pricing formula and a single option approach. This fair value is then amortized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service periods of the awards, which is generally the vesting period. The following assumptions are used in the Black-Scholes-Merton option pricing model:

Expected Term —The Company’s expected term represents the period that the Company’s stock-based awards are expected to be outstanding.

Expected Volatility— The Company’s expected volatilities are based on historical volatility of the Company’s stock, adjusted where determined by management for unusual and non-representative stock price activity not expected to recur. Due to the limited trading history, we also considered volatility data of guidance companies.

Expected Dividend —The Black-Scholes-Merton valuation model calls for a single expected dividend yield as an input. The Company currently pays no dividends and does not expect to pay dividends in the foreseeable future.

Risk-Free Interest Rate— The Company bases the risk-free interest rate on the implied yield currently available on U.S. Treasury zero-coupon issues with an equivalent remaining term.

Estimated Forfeitures— When estimating forfeitures, the Company takes into consideration the historical option forfeitures over the expected term.

Revenue Recognition

The Company recognizes revenues from product sales in accordance with guidance in FASB ASC 605, “Revenue Recognition”, which states that revenue is realized or realizable and earned when all of the following criteria are met: persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists; delivery has occurred or services have been rendered; the price to the buyer is fixed or determinable; and collectability is reasonably assured. Where a revenue transaction does not meet any of these criteria it is deferred and recognized once all such criteria have been met. In instances where final acceptance of the product, system, or solution is specified by the customer, revenue is deferred until all acceptance criteria have been met.

On a transaction by transaction basis, the Company determines if the revenue should be recorded on a gross or net basis based on criteria discussed in the Revenue Recognition topic of the FASB Subtopic 605-405, “Reporting Revenue Gross as a Principal versus Net as an Agent”. The Company considers the following factors to determine the gross versus net presentation: if the Company (i) acts as principal in the transaction; (ii) takes title to the products; (iii) has risks and rewards of ownership, such as the risk of loss for collection, delivery or return; and (iv) acts as an agent or broker (including performing services, in substance, as an agent or broker) with compensation on a commission or fee basis.

Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

Accounts receivable are carried at net realizable value. The Company records its allowance for doubtful accounts based upon its assessment of various factors. The Company considers historical experience, the age of the accounts receivable balances, credit quality of the Company’s customers, current economic conditions, and other factors that may affect customers’ ability to pay.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

The Board of Directors and Shareholders

Solar EnerTech Corp.

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Solar Enertech Corp. (the "Company") as of September 30, 2009 and 2008, and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders' equity, and cash flows for each of the two years in the period ended September 30, 2009. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated 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 audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement. We were not engaged to perform an audit of the Company's internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall consolidated financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of Solar Enertech Corp. at September 30, 2009 and 2008, and the consolidated results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the two years in the period ended September 30, 2009, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

As discussed in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company's recurring losses from operations raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management's plans as to these matters also are described in Note 2. The fiscal 2009 consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

SOLAR ENERTECH CORP.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

SEPTEMBER 30, 2009

NOTE 1 — ORGANIZATION AND NATURE OF OPERATIONS

The Company’s management in February 2008 decided that it was in the Company’s and its shareholders best interests to change the Company’s state of domicile from Nevada to Delaware (the “Reincorporation”). On August 13, 2008, the Company, a Nevada entity at the time, entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger with Solar EnerTech Corp., a Delaware corporation and wholly-owned subsidiary of the Nevada entity (the “Delaware Subsidiary”), whereby the Nevada entity merged with and into the Delaware Subsidiary in order to effect the Reincorporation. After the Reincorporation, the Nevada entity ceased to exist and the Company survived as a Delaware entity.

NOTE 2 — LIQUIDITY AND GOING CONCERN ISSUES

The Company has incurred significant net losses and has had negative cash flows from operations during each period from inception through September 30, 2009 and has an accumulated deficit of approximately $68.3 million at September 30, 2009. For the fiscal year ended September 30, 2009, the Company had negative operating cash flows of approximately $1.1 million and incurred a net loss of approximately $14.2 million. As of September 30, 2009, the Company had outstanding convertible notes with a principal balance of $11.6 million consisting of $2.5 million in principal amount of Series A Convertible Notes (the “Series A Notes”) and $9.1 million in principal amount of Series B Convertible Notes (the “Series B Notes”), which were recorded at carrying amount at $3.1 million, collectively known as the “Notes”. These Notes bear interest at 6% per annum and are due on March 7, 2010. The Company only had approximately $1.7 million in cash and cash equivalents on hand as of September 30, 2009. The conditions described raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The Company’s consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the assumption that it will continue as a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business. The financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effects on the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classification of liabilities that may result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Since April 2009, significant steps were taken to reach operational profitability including securing key new contracts, which will generate increased sales volumes. In addition, the Company engaged in various cost cutting programs and renegotiated most of the contacts to reduce operating expenses. Due to the above and the decrease in raw material prices, specifically silicon wafer prices, the Company has been generating positive gross margins starting in the third quarter of fiscal year 2009.

As discussed in “Note 16-Subsequent Events”, all of the Notes will automatically be converted into shares and the terms of the warrants issued in conjunction with the Notes will be amended. The Company believes that the successful completion of the conversion, along with our existing cash resources and the cash expected to be generated from operations during fiscal year 2010 will be sufficient to meet the Company’s projected operating requirements through at least the next twelve months and enable it to continue as a going concern.

NOTE 3 — SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Principles of Consolidation and Basis of Accounting

Prior to August 19, 2008, the Company operated its business in the People’s Republic of China through Infotech Hong Kong New Energy Technologies, Limited (“Infotech HK”) and Solar EnerTech (Shanghai) Co., Ltd (“Infotech Shanghai” and together with Infotech HK, “Infotech”). While the Company did not own Infotech, the Company’s financial statements have included the results of the financials of each of Infotech HK and Infotech Shanghai since these entities were wholly-controlled variable interest entities of the Company through an Agency Agreement dated April 10, 2006 by and between the Company and Infotech (the “Agency Agreement”). Under the Agency Agreement the Company engaged Infotech to undertake all activities necessary to build a solar technology business in China, including the acquisition of manufacturing facilities and equipment, employees and inventory. The Agency Agreement continued through April 10, 2008 and then on a month to month basis thereafter until terminated by either party.

To permanently consolidate Infotech with the Company through legal ownership, the Company acquired Infotech at a nominal amount on August 19, 2008 through a series of agreements. In connection with executing these agreements, the Company terminated the original agency relationship with Infotech.

The Company had previously consolidated the financial statements of Infotech with its financial statements pursuant to FASB ASC 810-10 “Consolidations”, formerly referenced as FASB Interpretation No. 46(R), due to the agency relationship between the Company and Infotech and, notwithstanding the termination of the Agency Agreement, the Company continues to consolidate the financial statements of Infotech with its financial statements since Infotech became a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company as a result of the acquisition.

The Company’s consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Solar EnerTech Corp. and its subsidiaries. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. These consolidated financial statements have been prepared in U.S. dollars and in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S.GAAP”).

Use of Estimates

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S.GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents are defined as cash on hand, demand deposits and short-term, highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash within ninety days of deposit.

Currency and Foreign Exchange

The Company’s functional currency is the Renminbi as substantially all of the Company’s operations are in China. The Company’s reporting currency is the U.S. dollar.

Transactions and balances originally denominated in U.S. dollars are presented at their original amounts. Transactions and balances in other currencies are converted into U.S. dollars in accordance with FASB ASC 830, “Foreign Currency Matters,” formerly referenced as SFAS No. 52, “Foreign Currency Translation”, and are included in determining net income or loss.

For foreign operations with the local currency as the functional currency, assets and liabilities are translated from the local currencies into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate prevailing at the balance sheet date. Revenues and expenses are translated at weighted average exchange rates for the period to approximate translation at the exchange rates prevailing at the dates those elements are recognized in the consolidated financial statements. Translation adjustments resulting from the process of translating the local currency consolidated financial statements into U.S. dollars are included in determining comprehensive loss.

Property and Equipment

The Company’s property and equipment are stated at cost net of accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is provided using the straight-line method over the related estimated useful lives, as follows:

		Useful Life (Years)
Office equipment		3 to 5
Machinery		10
Production equipment		5
Automobiles		5
Furniture		5
Leasehold improvement		the shorter of the lease term or 5 years

Expenditures for maintenance and repairs that do not improve or extend the lives of the related assets are expensed to operations. Major repairs that improve or extend the lives of the related assets are capitalized.

Inventories

Warranty Cost

The Company provides product warranties and accrues for estimated future warranty costs in the period in which the revenue is recognized. The Company’s standard solar modules are typically sold with a two-year warranty for defects in materials and workmanship and a 10-year and 25-year warranty against declines of more than 10.0% and 20.0%, respectively, of the initial minimum power generation capacity at the time of delivery. The Company therefore maintains warranty reserves to cover potential liabilities that could arise from its warranty obligations and accrues the estimated costs of warranties based primarily on management’s best estimate. The Company has not experienced any material warranty claims to date in connection with declines of the power generation capacity of its solar modules and will prospectively revise its actual rate to the extent that actual warranty costs differ from the estimates. As of September 30, 2009 and 2008, the Company’s warrant liability was $515,000 and $252,000, respectively. The Company’s warranty costs for the fiscal years ended September 30, 2009 and 2008 were $263,000 and $248,000, respectively. The Company did not make any warranty payments during the fiscal years ended September 30, 2009 and 2008.

Impairment of Long Lived Assets

Investments

Investments in an entity where the Company owns less than twenty percent of the voting stock of the entity and does not exercise significant influence over operating and financial policies of the entity are accounted for using the cost method. Investments in the entity where the Company owns twenty percent or more but not in excess of fifty percent of the voting stock of the entity or less than twenty percent and exercises significant influence over operating and financial policies of the entity are accounted for using the equity method. The Company has a policy in place to review its investments at least annually, to evaluate the carrying value of the investments in these companies. The cost method investment is subject to impairment assessment if there are identified events or changes in circumstance that may have a significant adverse affect on the fair value of the investment. If the Company believes that the carrying value of an investment is in excess of estimated fair value, it is the Company’s policy to record an impairment charge to adjust the carrying value to the estimated fair value, if the impairment is considered other-than-temporary.

As of September 30, 2009, the Company accounted for the investment in 21-Century Silicon at cost amounting to $1.0 million. On March 5, 2009, the Emerging Technology Fund, created by the State of Texas had invested $3.5million in 21-Century Silicon to expedite innovation and commercialization of research. As of September 30, 2009, the two million shares acquired by the Company have been diluted and constituted approximately 5.5% of 21-Century Silicon’s outstanding equity. In October 2009, the Company’s core management team, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, visited the new manufacturing site of 21-Century Silicon. The Company performed an impairment assessment during the meeting and determined that the investment was not impaired.

Income Taxes

Valuation Allowance

Unrecognized Tax Benefits

Effective on October 1, 2007, the Company adopted the provisions related to uncertain tax position under FASB ASC 740, “Income Taxes”, formerly referenced as FIN 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes - An Interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109”. Under FASB ASC 740, the impact of an uncertain income tax position on the income tax return must be recognized at the largest amount that is more-likely-than-not to be sustained upon audit by the relevant taxing authority based solely on the technical merits of the associated tax position. An uncertain income tax position will not be recognized if it has less than a 50% likelihood of being sustained. The Company also elected the accounting policy that requires interest and penalties to be recognized as a component of tax expense. The Company classifies the unrecognized tax benefits that are expected to result in payment or receipt of cash within one year as current liabilities, otherwise, the unrecognized tax benefits will be classified as non-current liabilities. Additionally, this guidance provides guidance on de-recognition, accounting in interim periods, disclosure and transition.

Derivative Financial Instruments

FASB ASC 815, “Derivatives and Hedging”, formerly referenced as SFAS No. 133, “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities,” as amended, requires all derivatives to be recorded on the balance sheet at fair value. These derivatives, including embedded derivatives in the Company’s structured borrowings, are separately valued and accounted for on the balance sheet. Fair values for exchange-traded securities and derivatives are based on quoted market prices. Where market prices are not readily available, fair values are determined using market based pricing models incorporating readily observable market data and requiring judgment and estimates.

FASB ASC 815 requires freestanding contracts that are settled in a company’s own stock, including common stock warrants, to be designated as an equity instrument, an asset or a liability. Under FASB ASC 815 guidance, a contract designated as an asset or a liability must be carried at fair value on a company’s balance sheet, with any changes in fair value recorded in the company’s results of operations.

The Company’s management used market-based pricing models to determine the fair values of the Company’s derivatives. The model uses market-sourced inputs such as interest rates, exchange rates and volatilities. Selection of these inputs involves management’s judgment and may impact net income.

The method used to estimate the value of the compound embedded derivatives (“CED”) as of each valuation date was a Monte Carlo simulation. Under this method the various features, restrictions, obligations and option related to each component of the CED were analyzed and spreadsheet models of the net expected proceeds resulting from exercise of the CED (or non-exercise) were created. Each model is expressed in terms of the expected timing of the event and the expected stock price as of that expected timing.

Because the potential timing and stock price may vary over a range of possible values, a Monte Carlo simulation was built based on the possible stock price paths (i.e., daily expected stock price over a forecast period). Under this approach an individual potential stock price path is simulated based on the initial stock price on the measurement date, and the expected volatility and risk free interest rate over the forecast period. Each path is compared against the logic described above for potential exercise events and the present value (or non-exercise which result in $0 value) recorded. This is repeated over a significant number of trials, or individual stock price paths, in order to generate an expected or mean value for the present value of the CED.

Fair Value of Warrants

Stock-Based Compensation

Expected Term — The Company’s expected term represents the period that the Company’s stock-based awards are expected to be outstanding.

Expected Volatility — The Company’s expected volatilities are based on historical volatility of the Company’s stock, adjusted where determined by management for unusual and non-representative stock price activity not expected to recur. Due to the limited trading history, the Company also considered volatility data of guidance companies.

Expected Dividend — The Black-Scholes-Merton valuation model calls for a single expected dividend yield as an input. The Company currently pays no dividends and does not expect to pay dividends in the foreseeable future.

Risk-Free Interest Rate — The Company bases the risk-free interest rate on the implied yield currently available on U.S. Treasury zero-coupon issues with an equivalent remaining term.

Estimated Forfeitures — When estimating forfeitures, the Company takes into consideration the historical option forfeitures over the expected term.

Revenue Recognition

The Company recognizes revenues from product sales in accordance with guidance in FASB ASC 605, “Revenue Recognition,” which states that revenue is realized or realizable and earned when all of the following criteria are met: persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists; delivery has occurred or services have been rendered; the price to the buyer is fixed or determinable; and collectability is reasonably assured. Where a revenue transaction does not meet any of these criteria it is deferred and recognized once all such criteria have been met. In instances where final acceptance of the product, system, or solution is specified by the customer, revenue is deferred until all acceptance criteria have been met.

Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

Shipping and Handling Costs

The Company incurred shipping and handling costs of $239,000 and $191,000 for the fiscal years ended September 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively, which are included in selling expenses. Shipping and handling costs include costs incurred with third-party carriers to transport products to customers.

Research and Development Cost

Expenditures for research activities relating to product development are charged to expense as incurred. Research and development cost for the years ended September 30, 2009 and 2008 were $700,000 and $702,000, respectively.

Comprehensive Loss

Comprehensive loss is defined as the change in equity of the Company during a period from transactions and other events and circumstances excluding transactions resulting from investments by owners and distributions to owners. Comprehensive loss is reported in the consolidated statements of shareholder’s equity. Other comprehensive income of the Company consists of cumulative foreign currency translation adjustments.

Segment Information

The Company identifies its operating segments based on its business activities. The Company operates within a single operating segment - the manufacture of solar energy cells and modules in China. The Company’s manufacturing operations and fixed assets are all based in China. The solar energy cells and modules are distributed to customers, located in Europe, Australia, North America and China.

During the fiscal years ended September 30, 2009 and 2008, the Company had four customers and one customer, respectively that accounted for more than 10% of net sales.

Reclassifications

Certain amounts in the prior year consolidated financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation. These reclassifications have no effect on previously reported results of operations.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

On September 30, 2009, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 168, The FASB Accounting Standards Codification TM and The Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“ASC” or “Codification” – a replacement of FASB Statement No.162). The Codification became the source of authoritative generally accepted accounting principles recognized by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) to be applied by nongovernmental entities. Rules and interpretive releases of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) under authority of federal securities laws are also sources of authoritative GAAP for SEC registrants. The Codification supersedes all existing non-SEC accounting and reporting standards. All other non-grandfathered, non-SEC accounting literature not included in the Codification is non-authoritative. GAAP is not intended to be changed as a result of this statement, but will change the way the guidance is organized and presented. The Company has implemented the Codification in the consolidated financial statements by providing references to the ASC topics.

In February 2007, the FASB issued FASB ASC 825, “Financial Instruments”, formerly referenced as Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities” which provides companies with an option to report selected financial assets and liabilities at fair value. FASB ASC 825 establishes presentation and disclosure requirements designed to facilitate comparisons between companies that choose different measurement attributes for similar types of assets and liabilities. FASB ASC 825 was effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. The Company did not elect to report any of its financial assets or liabilities at fair value, and as a result, the adoption of FASB ASC 825 had no material impact on its financial and results of operations.

In December 2007, the FASB issued FASB ASC 805, “Business Combination”, formerly referenced as SFAS No. 141 (revised), “Business Combinations”. FASB ASC 805 changes the accounting for business combinations, including the measurement of acquirer shares issued in consideration for a business combination, the recognition of contingent consideration, the accounting for pre-acquisition gain and loss contingencies, the recognition of capitalized in-process research and development, the accounting for acquisition-related restructuring cost accruals, the treatment of acquisition related transaction costs, and the recognition of changes in the acquirer’s income tax valuation allowance. FASB ASC 805 is effective for the first annual reporting period beginning on or after December 15, 2008. Thus, FASB ASC 805 will be effective for the Company on October 1, 2009, with early adoption prohibited. The Company is evaluating the potential impact of the implementation of FASB ASC 805 on its financial position and results of operations.

In December 2007, the FASB issued FASB ASC 810, “Consolidation”, formerly referenced as SFAS No. 160, “Non-controlling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements, an amendment of ARB No. 51”. FASB ASC 810 changes the accounting for non-controlling (minority) interests in consolidated financial statements, including the requirements to classify non-controlling interests as a component of consolidated stockholders’ equity, and the elimination of “minority interest” accounting in results of operations with earnings attributable to non-controlling interests reported as part of consolidated earnings. Additionally, FASB ASC 810 revises the accounting for both increases and decreases in a parent’s controlling ownership interest. FASB ASC 810 is effective for the first annual reporting period beginning on or after December 15, 2008. Thus, FASB ASC 810 will be effective for the Company on October 1, 2009, with early adoption prohibited. The Company is evaluating the potential impact of the implementation of FASB ASC 810 on its financial position and results of operations.

In December 2007, an update was made to FASB ASC 808-10, “Collaborative Arrangements”, formerly referenced as EITF Consensus for Issue No. 07-1, “Accounting for Collaborative Arrangements” which defines collaborative arrangements and establishes reporting requirements for transactions between participants in a collaborative arrangement and between participants in the arrangement and third parties. This guidance also establishes the appropriate income statement presentation and classification for joint operating activities and payments between participants, as well as the sufficiency of the disclosures related to these arrangements. This guidance is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2008 and will be effective for the Company on October 1, 2009. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of this guidance on its consolidated financial statements.

In February 2008, an update was made to FASB ASC 860, “Transfers and Servicing”, formerly referenced as FASB Staff Position No. FAS 140-3, “Accounting for Transfers of Financial Assets and Repurchase Financing Transactions” that addresses the issue of whether or not these transactions should be viewed as two separate transactions or as one linked” transaction. FASB ASC 860 includes a rebuttable presumption” that presumes linkage of the two transactions unless the presumption can be overcome by meeting certain criteria. This update will be effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2008 and will apply only to original transfers made after that date; early adoption will not be allowed. This update will be effective to the Company after the beginning of its fiscal year 2010. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of FASB ASC 860 on the Company’s financial position and results of operations.

In March 2008, the FASB issued FASB ASC 815, “Derivatives and Hedging”, formerly referenced as SFAS No. 161, “Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities”. FASB ASC 815 requires additional disclosures related to the use of derivative instruments, the accounting for derivatives and how derivatives impact financial statements. FASB ASC 815 is effective for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008. Thus, the Company adopted this standard on January 1, 2009. Since FASB ASC 815 only required additional disclosures, the adoption did not impact the Company’s financial position and results of operations.

In May 2008, an update was made to the FASB ASC 470, “Debt”, formerly referenced as FASB Staff Position No. APB 14-1, “Accounting for Convertible Debt Instruments That May Be Settled In Cash Upon Conversion (Including Partial Cash Settlement)”. FASB ASC 470 requires that the liability and equity components of convertible debt instruments that may be settled in cash upon conversion (including partial cash settlement) be separately accounted for in a manner that reflects an issuer's nonconvertible debt borrowing rate. As a result, the liability component would be recorded at a discount reflecting its below market coupon interest rate, and the liability component would subsequently be accreted to its par value over its expected life, with the rate of interest that reflects the market rate at issuance being reflected in the results of operations. This change in methodology will affect the calculations of net income and earnings per share, but will not increase the Company's cash interest payments. This guidance is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008, and interim periods within those fiscal years and will be effective for the Company on October 1, 2009. Retrospective application to all periods presented is required and early adoption is prohibited. The Company is evaluating the potential impact of the implementation of FASB ASC 470 on its financial position and results of operations.

In June 2008, an update was made to the FASB ASC 718, “Compensation – Stock Compensation”, which concluded that all unvested share-based payment awards that contain rights to receive non-forfeitable dividends (whether paid or unpaid) are participating securities, and should be included in the two-class method of computing basic and diluted earnings per share. This guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008. This guidance will be effective to the Company on October 1, 2009.The Company is currently evaluating the requirement of this guidance as well as the impact of the adoption on its consolidated financial statements.

In November 2008, an update was made to the FSAB ASC 323, “Investments – Equity Method and Joint Ventures”, which addresses the impact that FASB ASC 805, “Business Combination” and FASB ASC 810, “Consolidation” might have on the accounting for equity method investments, including how the initial carrying value of an equity method investment should be determined, how an impairment assessment of an underlying indefinite lived intangible asset of an equity method investment should be performed and how to account for a change in an investment from the equity method to the cost method. This guidance is effective in fiscal periods beginning on or after December 15, 2008. This guidance will be effective to the Company on October 1, 2009.The Company is currently assessing the impact of the adoption of the provisions of this guidance on its consolidated financial statements.

In April 2009, an update was made to the FASB ASC 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures”, that provides additional guidance for estimating fair value when the volume and level of activity for the asset or liability have significantly decreased. This update is effective for interim and annual periods ending after June 15, 2009 with early adoption permitted for periods ending after March 15, 2009. During the quarter ended June 30, 2009, the Company adopted this guidance and did not have a significant impact on its consolidated financial statements.

In April 2009, an update was made to the FASB ASC 825, “Financial Instruments”, which requires a publicly traded company to include disclosures about the fair value of its financial instruments whenever it issues summarized financial information for interim reporting periods. This update is effective for interim reporting periods ending after June 15, 2009, with early adoption permitted for periods ending after March 15, 2009. The Company adopted this guidance during the quarter ended June 30, 2009. There was no significant impact on its consolidated financial statements as a result of adoption.

In April 2009, an update was made to the FASB ASC 320, “Investments – Debt and Equity Securities”, which introduced new disclosure requirements affecting both debt and equity securities and extend the disclosure requirements to interim periods including disclosure of the cost basis of securities classified as available-for-sale and held-to-maturity and provides further specification of major security types. This update is effective for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after June 15, 2009. The Company adopted the guidance during the quarter ended June 30, 2009. The adoption of this guidance did not have a significant impact on the Company’s financial statements.

In May 2009, the FASB issued FASB ASC 855, “Subsequent Events”, formerly referenced as SFAS No. 165, “Subsequent Events” to establish general standards of accounting for and disclosure of subsequent events. FASB ASC 855 renames the two types of subsequent events as recognized subsequent events or non-recognized subsequent events and to modify the definition of the evaluation period for subsequent events as events or transactions that occur after the balance sheet date, but before the financial statements are issued. This will require entities to disclose the date, through which an entity has evaluated subsequent events and the basis for that date (the issued date for public companies). FASB ASC 855 is effective for interim or annual financial periods ending after June 15, 2009. The Company adopted FASB ASC 855 during the quarter ended June 30, 2009. The adoption of FASB ASC 855 did not have a significant impact on the Company's financial statement disclosures (see Note 16 – Subsequent Events).

In June 2009, the FASB issued FASB ASC 810-10, “Consolidation”, formerly referenced as SFAS No. 167, “Amendments to FASB Interpretations No. 46(R)”. FASB ASC 810-10 revises the approach to determining the primary beneficiary of a variable interest entity (“VIE”) to be more qualitative in nature and requires companies to more frequently reassess whether they must consolidate a VIE. FASB ASC 810 is effective for interim and annual periods that begin after November 15, 2009. This guidance will be effective to the Company on January 1, 2010. The Company does not expect the adoption of FASB ASC 810-10 will have any impact on its results of operations and financial position as the Company does not have any VIEs.

In August 2009, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2009-05, an update to ASC 820. This update provides amendments to reduce potential ambiguity in financial reporting when measuring the fair value of liabilities. Among other provisions, this update provides clarification that in circumstances, in which a quoted price in an active market for the identical liability is not available, a reporting entity is required to measure fair value using one or more of the valuation techniques described in ASU 2009-05. ASU 2009-05 is effective for the first interim or annual reporting period beginning after its issuance. This guidance will be effective to the Company on October 1, 2009. The Company does not expect the adoption of ASU 2009-05 to have a material effect on its financial statements.

NOTE 4 — FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

Concentration of Credit risk

The Company’s assets that are potentially subject to significant concentration of credit risk are primarily cash and cash equivalents, advance payments to suppliers and accounts receivable.

The Company maintains cash deposits with financial institutions, which from time to time may exceed federally insured limits. The Company has not experienced any losses in connection with these deposits and believes it is not exposed to any significant credit risk from cash. At September 30, 2009 and 2008, the Company had approximately $144,000 and $869,000, respectively in excess of insured limits.

Advance payments to suppliers are typically unsecured and arise from deposits paid in advance for future purchases of raw materials. During the financial crisis in 2008, the Company was generally required to make prepayments for some of its raw materials. The Company does not require collateral or other security against the prepayments to suppliers for raw materials. In the event of a failure by the Company’s suppliers to fulfill their contractual obligations and to the extent that the Company is not able to recover its prepayments, the Company would suffer losses. The Company’s prepayments to suppliers have been steadily decreasing due to the change in the industry practice from requiring full cash advance to secure key raw material (silicon wafers) as a result of the financial crisis in 2008 to requiring less or no cash advance during fiscal year 2009 as the economy is recovering from the crisis. The economic crisis may affect the Company’s customers’ ability to pay the Company for its products that the Company has delivered. If the customers fail to pay the Company for its products and services, the Company’s financial condition, results of operations and liquidity may be adversely affected.

Other financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentration of credit risk consist principally of accounts receivables. Concentrations of credit risk with respect to accounts receivables are limited because a number of geographically diverse customers make up the Company’s customer base, thus spreading the trade credit risk. The Company controls credit risk through credit approvals, credit limits and monitoring procedures. The Company performs credit evaluations for all new customers but does not require collateral to support customer receivables. All of the Company’s customers have gone through a very strict credit approval process. The Company diligently monitors the customers’ financial position. Certain key customers have also been insured by China Export & Credit Insurance Company. Therefore, the credit risk in accounts receivable is controllable even though the Company has a relatively high accounts receivable balance. During the fiscal years ended September 30, 2009 and 2008, the Company had four customers and one customer, respectively that accounted for more than 10% of net sales.

Foreign exchange risk and translation

The Company may be subject to significant currency risk due to the fluctuations of exchange rates between the Chinese Renminbi, Euro and the United States dollar.

The local currency is the functional currency for the China subsidiary. Assets and liabilities are translated at end of period exchange rates while revenues and expenses are translated at the average exchange rates in effect during the period. Equity is translated at historical rates and the resulting cumulative translation adjustments, to the extent not included in net income, are included as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) until the translation adjustments are realized. Included in other accumulated comprehensive income was a cumulative foreign currency translation adjustment loss of $29,000 and a cumulative foreign currency translation adjustment gain of $1.9 million at September 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively. Foreign currency transaction gains and losses are included in earnings. For fiscal years ended September 30, 2009 and 2008, the Company recorded foreign exchange gain of $0.1 million and foreign exchange loss of $0.8 million, respectively.

NOTE 8 — INCOME TAXES

The Company has no taxable income and no provision for federal and state income taxes is required for 2009 and 2008, except certain state minimum tax.

The Company conducts its business in the United States and in various foreign locations and generally is subject to the respective local countries’ statutory tax rates.

A reconciliation of the statutory federal rate and the Company’s effective tax rate for the fiscal years ended September 30, 2009 and 2008 are as follows:

	Year Ended September 30,
	2009			2008
U.S. federal taxes (benefit)
At statutory rate		34	%		34	%
Gain (loss) on derivative/warrant and other permanents		(5	)%		(89	)%
Stock-based compensation		(7	)%		29	%
Tax rate differences		(3	)%		6	%
Change in valuation allowance		(19	)%		20	%
Total		0	%		0	%

Significant components of the Company’s deferred tax assets and liabilities as of September 30, 2009 and 2008 are as follows:

	Year Ended September 30,
	2009			2008
Deferred tax assets:
Net operating loss carryforwards	$	5,678,000		$	3,622,000
Stock-based compensation		1,093,000			390,000
Allowances and reserve		1,779,000			1,704,000

Total deferred tax assets		8,701,000			5,998,000
Less valuation allowance		(8,701,000	)		(5,998,000	)
Net deferred tax assets	$	-		$	-

As of September 30, 2009 and 2008, the Company had United States federal net operating loss carry forwards of approximately $5.7 million and $4.6 million, respectively. These net operating loss carry forwards will expire at various dates beginning in 2026 if not utilized. In addition, the Company had U.S. state net operating loss carry forwards of approximately $4.5 million and $0.3 million as of September 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively, and these losses will begin to expire at various dates beginning in 2018 if not utilized. In addition, the Company had foreign net operating loss carry forwards of approximately $14.0 million and $8.3 million as of September 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively. These net operating loss carryforwards will begin to expire in 2012 if not utilized. The Company has no tax credit carry forwards.

As of September 30, 2009, due to the history of losses the Company has generated, the Company believes that it is more-likely-than-not that the deferred tax assets will not be realized. Therefore, the Company has a full valuation allowance on the Company’s deferred tax assets of $8.7 million, an increase of $2.7 million from September 30, 2008. The current year change in valuation allowance is mainly due to (1) the increase of net operating loss and (2) an increase in the U.S. state tax rate after apportionment.

Utilization of the U.S. federal and state net operating loss carry forwards may be subject to substantial annual limitation due to certain limitations resulting from ownership changes provided by U.S. federal and state tax laws. The annual limitation may result in the expiration of net operating losses carryforwards and credits before utilization.

The Company has no undistributed foreign earnings as of September 30, 2009.

Under the New Income Tax Law, a "resident enterprise," which includes an enterprise established outside of the PRC with management located in the PRC, will be subject to PRC income tax. If the PRC tax authorities determine that the Company and its subsidiaries registered outside PRC should be deemed a resident enterprise, the Company's PRC tax resident entities will be subject to the PRC income tax at a rate of 25%.

The Company’s operations are subject to income and transaction taxes in the United States and in certain foreign jurisdictions. Significant estimates and judgments are required in determining the Company’s worldwide provision for income taxes. Some of these estimates are based on interpretations of existing tax laws or regulations. The ultimate amount of tax liability may be uncertain as a result.

There are no ongoing examinations by taxing authorities at this time. The Company’s tax years starting from 2006 to 2008 remain open in various tax jurisdictions. The Company has not undertaken tax positions for which a reserve has been recorded. The Company does not anticipate any significant change within the next 12 months of its uncertain tax positions.

NOTE 9 — CONVERTIBLE NOTES

On March 7, 2007, Solar EnerTech entered into a securities purchase agreement to issue $17.3 million of secured convertible notes (the “Notes”) and detachable stock purchase warrants the “Series A and Series B Warrants”). Accordingly, during the quarter ended March 31, 2007, Solar EnerTech sold units consisting of:

	•		$5.0 million in principal amount of Series A Convertible Notes and warrants to purchase 7,246,377 shares (exercise price of $1.21 per share) of its common stock;

	•		$3.3 million in principal amount of Series B Convertible Notes and warrants to purchase 5,789,474 shares (exercise price of $0.90 per share) of its common stock ; and

•

$9.0 million in principal amount of Series B Convertible Notes and warrants to purchase 15,789,474 shares (exercise price of $0.90 per share) of its common stock.

These Notes bear interest at 6% per annum and are due in 2010. Under their original terms, the principal amount of the Series A Convertible Notes may be converted at the initial rate of $0.69 per share for a total of 7,246,377 shares of common stock (which amount does not include shares of common stock that may be issued for the payment of interest). Under their original terms, the principal amount of the Series B Convertible Notes may be converted at the initial rate of $0.57 per share for a total of 21,578,948 shares of common stock (which amount does not include shares of common stock that may be issued for the payment of interest).

In connection with the issuance of the Notes and Series A and Series B Warrants, the Company engaged an exclusive advisor and placement agent (the “Advisor”) and issued warrants to the Advisor to purchase an aggregate of 1,510,528 shares at an exercise price of $0.57 per share and 507,247 shares at an exercise price of $0.69 per share, of the Company’s common stock (the “Advisor Warrants”). In addition to the issuance of the warrants, the Company paid $1,038,000 in commissions, an advisory fee of $173,000, and other fees and expenses of $84,025.

As of September 30, 2009, the Company had outstanding convertible notes with a principal balance of $11.6 million consisting of $2.5 million in principal amount of Series A Convertible Notes and $9.1 million in principal amount of Series B Convertible Notes. These outstanding notes were recorded at carrying value at $3.1 million as of September 30, 2009 and are due on March 7, 2010.

The Company evaluated the notes for derivative accounting considerations under FASB ASC 815 and determined that the notes contain two embedded derivative features, the conversion option and a redemption privilege accruing to the holder if certain conditions exist (the “compound embedded derivative”). The compound embedded derivative is measured at fair value both initially and in subsequent periods. Changes in fair value of the compound embedded derivative are recorded in the account “gain (loss) on fair market value of compound embedded derivative” in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.

The Series A and Series B Warrants (including the Advisor Warrants) are classified as a liability, as required by FASB ASC 480, “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity”, formerly referenced as SFAS No. 150, “Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Characteristics of Both Liabilities and Equity”, due to the terms of the warrant agreement which contains a cash redemption provision in the event of a fundamental transaction. The warrants are measured at fair value both initially and in subsequent periods. Changes in fair value of the warrants are recorded in the account “gain (loss) on fair market value of warrant liability” in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.

The following table summarizes the valuation of the Notes, the Series A and Series B Warrants (including the Advisor Warrants), and the Compound Embedded Derivative:

	Amount
Proceeds of convertible notes	$	17,300,000
Allocation of proceeds:
Fair value of warrant liability (excluding advisor warrants)		(15,909,000	)
Fair value of compound embedded derivative liability		(16,600,000	)
Loss on issuance of convertible notes		15,209,000
Carrying amount of notes at grant date	$	-

Carrying amount of notes at September 30, 2007	$	7,000
Amortization of note discount and conversion effect		78,000
Carrying amount of notes at September 30, 2008		85,000
Amortization of note discount and conversion effect		2,976,000

Fair value of warrant liability at September 30, 2009	$	2,068,000

Fair value of compound embedded derivative at September 30, 2007	$	16,800,000
Gain on fair market value of embedded derivative liability		(13,767,000	)
Conversion of Series A and B Notes		(2,053,000	)
Fair value of compound embedded derivative at September 30, 2008		980,000
Gain on fair market value of embedded derivative liability		(770,000	)
Conversion of Series A and B Notes		(32,000	)
Fair value of compound embedded derivative at September 30, 2009	$	178,000

The value of the Series A and Series B Warrants (including the Advisor Warrants) was estimated using a binomial valuation model with the following assumptions:

	September 30, 2009			September 30, 2008
Implied term (years)		2.43			3.43
Suboptimal exercise factor		2.5			2.5
Volatility		106	%		84	%
Dividend yield		0	%		0	%
Risk free interest rate		1.15	%		2.58	%

In conjunction with March 2007 financing, the Company recorded total deferred financing cost of $2.5 million, of which $1.3 million represented cash payment and $1.2 million represented the fair market value of the Advisor Warrants. The deferred financing cost is amortized over the three year life of the notes using a method that approximates the effective interest rate method. The Advisor Warrants were recorded as a liability and adjusted to fair value in each subsequent period. As of September 30, 2009 and 2008, total unamortized deferred financing cost was $1.3 million and $1.8 million, respectively.

The method used to estimate the value of the compound embedded derivatives (“CED”) as of each valuation date was a Monte Carlo simulation. Under this method the various features, restrictions, obligations and option related to each component of the CED were analyzed and spreadsheet models of the net expected proceeds resulting from exercise (or non-exercise) of the CED were created. Each model is expressed in terms of the expected timing of the event and the expected stock price as of that expected timing.

Because the potential timing and stock price may vary over a range of possible values, a Monte Carlo simulation was built based on the possible stock price paths (i.e., daily expected stock price over a forecast period). Under this approach an individual potential stock price path is simulated based on the initial stock price on the measurement date and the expected volatility and risk free rate over the forecast period. Each path is compared against the logic describe above for potential exercise events and the present value (or non-exercise which result in $0 value) recorded. This is repeated over a significant number of trials, or individual stock price paths, in order to generate an expected or mean value for the present value of the CED.

The significant assumptions used in estimating stock price paths as of each valuation date are:

	September 30, 2009			September 30, 2008
Starting stock price (closing price on date preceding valuation date)	$	0.28		$	0.40
Annual volatility of stock		106.0	%		84.2	%
Risk free rate		0.18	%		1.89	%

Additional assumptions were made regarding the probability of occurrence of each exercise scenario, based on stock price ranges (based on the assumption that scenario probability is constant over narrow ranges of stock price). The key scenarios included public offering, bankruptcy and other defaults.

The material terms of the Notes are as follows:

Interest Payments

The Notes bear interest at 6% per annum and are due in 2010. Accrued interest is payable quarterly in arrears on each of January 1, April 1, July 1 and October 1, beginning on the first such date after issuance, in cash or registered shares of common stock at the option of the Company. If the Company elects to pay any interest due in registered shares of the Company’s common stock: (i) the issuance price will be 90% of the 5-day weighted average price of the common stock ending on the day prior to the interest payment due date, (ii) the common stock shall have traded an average of at least 500,000 shares per day for each of the five trading days prior to the applicable due date, and (iii) a trigger event shall not have occurred.

Registration Rights (Series A Convertible Notes)

The Company and the holders of the Series A Convertible Notes entered into a “Registration Rights Agreement” on March 7, 2007. Among other things, the Company was obligated to do the following or incur liquidated damages upon failure:

	•		File an initial registration statement within 45 days after closing (1.0% per month of the aggregate purchase price until such failure is cured);

	•		Cause effectiveness of the registration statement within 120 days after closing (1.0% per month of the aggregate purchase price until such failure is cured);

	•		Maintain effectiveness of the registration statement for the period in which the Notes and Warrants are issued and outstanding (1.0% per month of the aggregate purchase price until such failure is cured); or

	•		File additional registration statements, as required for any shares cutback from the initial registration statement as a result of Rule 415(a) limitations (0.25% per month of the aggregate purchase price until such failure is cured commencing after 150 days after closing).

However, in no event shall the aggregate amount of all registration delay payments listed above (other than registration delay payments payable pursuant to events that are within the control of the Company) exceed, in the aggregate, 24% of the aggregate purchase price.

Failure to comply with the Registration Rights Agreement constitutes a trigger event and at the election of the holder may require redemption of the Series A Convertible Notes (see the discussion titled “Redemptions” below).

The Company has accounted for the Registration Rights Agreements related to the Series A Convertible Notes in accordance with FASB ASC 450, “Contingencies”, wherein the probability that a contingent obligation to make future payments or otherwise transfer consideration shall be recognized and measured separately.

The offering of the Series A convertible notes closed on March 7, 2007. According to the Registration Rights Agreement the Company signed in conjunction with this offering, a registration statement that included the common stock underlying the Series A convertible notes and the warrants issued in connection therewith was to be declared effective by the SEC no later than July 5, 2007. The registration statement the Company filed was declared effective in November 2007. However, this delay constitutes a triggering event which allows the holders, at their election, to require redemption of the notes. On December 14 and 17, 2007, the Company obtained waivers from Series A holders to waive the redemption rights relating to the delay of the SB-2 effective date.

Voting Rights

The holders of the Notes do not have voting rights under these agreements.

Dividends

Until all of the Notes have been converted, redeemed or otherwise satisfied in accordance with their terms, the Company shall not, directly or indirectly, redeem, repurchase or declare or pay any cash dividend or distribution on its capital stock without the prior express written consent of the required holders.

Conversion

1)		At any time or times on or after the issuance date of the Notes, the holder is entitled to convert, at the holder’s sole discretion, any portion of the outstanding and unpaid conversion amount (principal, accrued and unpaid interest and accrued and unpaid late charges) into fully paid and non-assessable shares of common stock, at the conversion rate (as defined below).

2)		Forced Conversion. Upon thirty (30) days prior written notice to all of the holders, the Company shall have the right to call all, but not less than all, of the Notes for conversion at the conversion price (as defined below) provided that for each of the twenty (20) trading days immediately preceding the forced conversion date:

	•		The Company’s common stock has closed at a price equal to or greater than 300% of the then applicable Series A conversion price, as described below;

	•		There is either an effective registration statement providing for the resale of the shares of common stock underlying the Notes or all of the shares of common stock underlying the Notes may be resold pursuant to Rule 144(k) of the Securities Act without restriction; and

	•		The common stock has traded an average of 500,000 shares per day.

Conversion Rate

The number of shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of the Notes is determined by dividing (x) the conversion amount (principal, interest and late charges accrued and unpaid), by (y) the then applicable conversion price (initially $0.69 for Series A Convertible Notes and $0.57 for Series B Convertible Notes, subject to adjustment as provided in the agreement). No adjustment in the conversion price of the Notes will be made in respect of the issuance of additional shares of common stock unless the consideration per share of an additional share of common stock issued or deemed to be issued by the Company is less than the conversion price of the Notes in effect on the date of, and immediately prior to, such issuance. Should the outstanding shares of common stock increase (by stock split, stock dividend, or otherwise) or decrease (by reclassification or otherwise), the conversion price of the Notes in effect immediately prior to the change shall be proportionately adjusted.

Redemptions

Each of the following events shall constitute a trigger event, permitting the holder the right of redemption:

Series A Only – A failure relating to the registration statement (such as failure to file the registration statement within 45 days after the closing, the failure to have the registration statement declared effective within 150 days after the closing, or the failure to maintain the registration statement during the period which the securities are outstanding) that cannot be cured for a period of ten (10) consecutive days or for more than an aggregate of thirty (30) days in any 365-day period (other than days during an allowable grace period);

The suspension from trading or failure of the common stock to be listed on the principal market or an eligible market for a period of five (5) consecutive trading days or for more than an aggregate of ten (10) trading days in any 365-day period;

3)		The Company’s (A) failure to cure a conversion failure by delivery of the required number of shares of common stock within ten (10) trading days after the applicable conversion date or (B) notice, written or oral, to any holder of the Notes, including by way of public announcement or through any of its agents, at any time, of its intention not to comply with a request for conversion of any Notes into shares of common stock that is tendered in accordance with the provisions of the Notes;

4)		At any time following the tenth (10th ) consecutive business day that the holder’s authorized share allocation is less than the number of shares of common stock that the holder would be entitled to receive upon a conversion of the full conversion amount of the Notes (without regard to any limitations on conversion);

5)		The Company’s failure to pay to the holder any amount of principal (including, without limitation, any redemption payments), interest, late charges or other amounts when and as due under the Notes or any other transaction document (as defined in the securities purchase agreement) or any other agreement, document, certificate or other instrument delivered in connection with the transactions to which the holder is a party, except, in the case of a failure to pay any interest and late charges when and as due, in which case only if such failure continues for a period of at least five (5) business days;

6)		A) The occurrence of any payment default or other default under any indebtedness of the Company or any of its subsidiaries that results in a redemption of or acceleration prior to maturity of $100,000 or more of such indebtedness in the aggregate, or (B) the occurrence of any material default under any indebtedness of the Company or any of its subsidiaries having an aggregate outstanding balance in excess of $100,000 and such default continues uncured for more than ten (10) business days, other than, in each case (A) or (B) above, or a default with respect to any other notes;

7)		The Company or any of its subsidiaries, pursuant to or within the meaning of Title 11, U.S. Code, or any similar Federal, foreign or state law for the relief of debtors (A) commences a voluntary case, (B) consents to the entry of an order for relief against it in an involuntary case, (C) consents to the appointment of a receiver, trustee, assignee, liquidator or similar official, (D) makes a general assignment for the benefit of its creditors or (E) admits in writing that it is generally unable to pay its debts as they become due;

8)		A court of competent jurisdiction enters an order or decree under any bankruptcy law that (A) is for relief against the Company or any of its subsidiaries in an involuntary case, (B) appoints a custodian of the Company or any of its subsidiaries or (C) orders the liquidation of the Company or any of its subsidiaries;

9)		A final judgment or judgments for the payment of money aggregating in excess of $250,000 are rendered against the Company or any of its subsidiaries and which judgments are not, within sixty (60) days after the entry thereof, bonded, discharged or stayed pending appeal, or are not discharged within sixty (60) days after the expiration of such stay; provided, however, that any judgment which is covered by insurance or an indemnity from a credit worthy party shall not be included in calculating the $250,000 amount set forth above so long as the Company provides the holder with a written statement from such insurer or indemnity provider (which written statement shall be reasonably satisfactory to the holder) to the effect that such judgment is covered by insurance or an indemnity and the Company will receive the proceeds of such insurance or indemnity within thirty (30) days of the issuance of such judgment;

10)		The Company breaches any representation, warranty, covenant or other term or condition of any transaction document, except, in the case of a breach of a covenant which is curable, only if such breach continues for a period of at least ten (10) consecutive business days;

11)		Any breach or failure in any respect to comply with the terms of the Notes; or

12)		Any trigger event that occurs with respect to any other obligations of the Company.

At any time after becoming aware of a trigger event, the holder may require the Company to redeem all or any portion of the Notes at an amount equal to any accrued and unpaid liquidated damages, plus the greater of (A) the conversion amount to be redeemed multiplied by the redemption premium (125% for trigger events described above in subparagraphs 1) to 4) and 9) to 12) above or 100% for other events), or (B) the conversion amount to be redeemed multiplied by the quotient of (i) the closing sale price at the time of the trigger event (or at the time of payment of the redemption price, if greater) divided by (ii) the conversion price, provided, however, (B) shall be applicable only in the event that a trigger event of the type specified above in subparagraphs 1), 2), 3) or 4) has occurred and remains uncured or the conversion shares otherwise could not be received or sold by the holder without any resale restrictions.

Change of Control

Assumption. The Company may not enter into or be party to a Fundamental Transaction (as defined below) unless:

	•		The successor entity assumes in writing all of the obligations of the Company under the Notes and related documents; and
	•		The successor entity (including its parent entity) is a publicly traded corporation whose common stock is quoted on or listed for trading on an eligible market.

Redemption Right. At any time during the period beginning on the date of the holder’s receipt of a change of control notice and ending twenty (20) trading days after the consummation of such change of control, the holder may require the Company to redeem all or any portion of the Notes in cash for an amount equal to any accrued and unpaid liquidated damages, plus the greater of (i) the product of (x) the conversion amount being redeemed and (y) the quotient determined by dividing (A) the greater of the closing sale price of the common stock immediately prior to the consummation of the change of control, the closing sale price immediately following the public announcement of such proposed change of control and the closing sale price of the common stock immediately prior to the public announcement of such proposed change of control by (B) the conversion price and (ii) 125% of the conversion amount being redeemed .

The material terms of the Series A and Series B Warrants are as follows:

Exercise of Series A and Series B Warrant and Exercise Price

The Series A and Series B Warrants may be exercised by the holder on any day on or after issuance, at the holder’s election in cash or, as to the Series A Warrants, the holder may decide to elect to receive upon such exercise the net number of shares of common stock pursuant to a cashless exercise based on a formula, considering the then current market value of the Company’s common stock, only if such shares issuable have not been registered.

If the Company issues or sells, or is deemed to have issued or sold, any shares of common stock for a consideration per share less than a price equal to the exercise price in effect immediately prior to such issue or sale or deemed issuance or sale, then immediately after such dilutive issuance, the exercise price then in effect shall be reduced to an amount equal to the new issuance price. Upon each such adjustment of the exercise price, the number of warrant shares shall be adjusted to the number of shares of common stock determined by multiplying the exercise price in effect immediately prior to such adjustment by the number of warrant shares acquirable upon exercise of the warrants immediately prior to such adjustment and dividing the product thereof by the exercise price resulting from such adjustment. In addition, the Company shall reduce the exercise price and increase the number of warrant shares proportionately in the event of a stock split, stock dividend or recapitalization.

In the event that the Company directly or indirectly consolidates, merges into another entity or allows another person to purchase more than 50% of the outstanding shares of common stock and that entity is a publicly traded corporation that does not assume the Series A and Series B Warrants (the “Fundamental Transaction”), then the holder may request the successor entity to pay cash to the holder equal to the Black-Scholes value of the remaining unexercised portion of warrants on the date of the Fundamental Transaction.

For the fiscal year ended September 30, 2009, $0.9 million of Series A and B Convertible Notes were converted into the Company’s common shares. The Company recorded a loss on debt extinguishment of $0.5 million as a result of the conversion based on the quoted market closing price of its common shares on the conversion dates.

For the fiscal year ended September 30, 2008, $4.9 million of Series A and B Convertible Notes were converted into the Company’s common shares. The Company recorded $4.6 million of loss on debt extinguishment from Series A and B Convertible Notes. This loss was offset by a gain on debt extinguishment from settlement agreement with Coach Capital LLC in the amount of $0.4 million. The net amount of $4.2 million loss on debt extinguishment is included in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

The loss on debt extinguishment is computed at the conversion dates as follow:

	Fiscal Years Ended
	September 30, 2009			September 30, 2008
Fair value of the common shares	$	316,000		$	6,009,000
Unamortized deferred financing costs associated with the converted notes		140,000			712,000
Fair value of the CED liability associated with the converted notes		(33,000	)		(2,053,000	)
Accreted amount of the notes discount		104,000			(54,000	)
Loss on debt extinguishment	$	527,000		$	4,614,000

As discussed in “Note 2 – Liquidity and Going Concern Issue” and “Note 16 – Subsequent Events”, the terms of the Series A and Series B Convertible Notes have been amended.

NOTE 10 — STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY

Common stock issued for repayment of loans

During the quarter ended December 31, 2007, the Company was informed by Thimble Capital that it had assigned the note payable of $100,000 due from the Company to Coach Capital LLC. The Company was also informed by Infotech Essentials Ltd. that it had assigned the note payable of $450,000 due from the Company to Coach Capital LLC.

On December 20, 2007, the Company entered into a settlement agreement with Coach Capital LLC to settle all outstanding notes payable in the amount of $1.2 million and related interest in exchange for the issuance of the Company’s common stock. The share price stated in the settlement agreement was $1.20 per share. The Company’s shares of common stock were valued at $0.84 per share, the closing price, on December 20, 2007. As a result, the Company recorded a gain on extinguishment of debt of approximately $0.4 million.

Warrants

During March 2007, in conjunction with the issuance of $17,300,000 in convertible debt, the board of directors approved the issuance of Warrants to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock. Under their original terms, the 7,246,377 Series A warrants and the 21,578,948 Series B warrants are exercisable at $1.21 and $0.90, respectively and expire in March 2012. In addition, in March 2007, as additional compensation for services as placement agent for the convertible debt offering, the Company issued the Advisor Warrants, which entitle the placement agent to purchase 507,247 and 1,510,528 shares of the Company’s common stock at exercise prices of $0.69 and $0.57 per share, respectively. The Advisor Warrants expire in March 2012.

The Series A and Series B Warrants (including the Advisor Warrants) are classified as a liability in accordance with FASB ASC 480, “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity”, due to the terms of the warrant agreements which contain cash redemption provisions in the event of a fundamental transaction, which provide that the Company would repurchase any unexercised portion of the warrants at the date of the occurrence of the fundamental transaction for the value as determined by the Black-Scholes Merton valuation model. As a result, the warrants are measured at fair value both initially and in subsequent periods. Changes in fair value of the warrants are recorded in the account “gain (loss) on fair market value of warrant liability” in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Additionally, in connection with the offering all of the Company’s Series A and Series B warrant holders waived their full ratchet anti-dilution and price protection rights previously granted to them in connection with the Company’s March 2007 convertible note and warrant financing.

On January 12, 2008, the Company sold 24,318,181 shares of its common stock and 24,318,181 Series C warrants (the “Series C Warrants”) to purchase shares of common stock for an aggregate purchase price of $21.4 million in a private placement offering to accredited investors. Under its original terms, the exercise price of the Series C Warrants is $1.00 per share. The warrants are exercisable for a period of 5 years from the date of issuance of the Series C Warrants.

For the services in connection with this closing, the placement agent and the selected dealer, Knight Capital Markets, LLC and Ardour Capital Investments, received an aggregate of a 6.0% cash commission, a 1.0% advisory fee and warrants to purchase 1,215,909 shares of common stock at $0.88 per share, exercisable for a period of 5 years from the date of issuance of the warrants. The net proceeds from issuing common stock and Series C warrants in January 2008 after all the financing costs were $19.9 million and were recorded in additional paid in capital and common stock. Neither the shares of common stock nor the shares of common stock underlying the warrants sold in this offering were granted registration rights.

There were no warrant activities during the fiscal year ended September 30, 2009, therefore the total outstanding warrant as of September 30, 2009 remains the same as of September 30, 2008. A summary of outstanding warrant as of September 30, 2009 is as follows:

	Number of Shares		Exercise Price ($)		Recognized as
Granted in connection with convertible notes — Series A		7,246,377		1.21	Discount to notes payable
Granted in connection with convertible notes — Series B		21,578,948		0.90	Discount to notes payable
Granted in connection with placement service		507,247		0.69	Deferred financing cost
Granted in connection with placement service		1,510,528		0.57	Deferred financing cost

Granted in connection with placement service		1,215,909		0.88	Additional paid in capital
Outstanding at September 30, 2009		56,377,190

At September 30, 2009, the range of warrant prices for shares under warrants and the weighted-average remaining contractual life is as follows:

Warrants Outstanding and Exercisable
					Weighted-
			Weighted-		Average
Range of			Average		Remaining
Warrant	Number of		Exercise		Contractual
Exercise Price	Warrants		Price		Life
$0.57-$0.69		2,017,775	$	0.60		2.46

$1.21		7,246,377	$	1.21		2.44

As discussed in “Note 2 – Liquidity and Going Concern Issue” and “Note 16 – Subsequent Events”, the terms of the Series A, Series B and Series C Warrants have been amended.

Restricted Stock

On August 19, 2008, Mr. Leo Young, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, entered into a Stock Option Cancellation and Share Contribution Agreement with Jean Blanchard, a former officer, to provide for (i) the cancellation of a stock option agreement by and between Mr. Young and Ms. Blanchard dated on or about March 1, 2006 and (ii) the contribution to the Company by Ms. Blanchard of the remaining 25,250,000 shares of common stock underlying the cancelled option agreement.

The 2008 Plan provides for the issuance of a maximum of 25,250,000 shares of restricted stock in connection with awards under the 2008 Plan. The 2008 Plan is administered by the Company’s Compensation Committee, a subcommittee of the Company’s Board of Directors, and has a term of 10 years. Restricted stock vest over a three year period and unvested restricted stock are forfeited and cancelled as of the date that employment terminates. Participation is limited to employees, directors and consultants of the Company and its subsidiaries and other affiliates. During any period in which shares acquired pursuant to the 2008 Plan remain subject to vesting conditions, the participant shall have all of the rights of a stockholder of the Company holding shares of stock, including the right to vote such shares and to receive all dividends and other distributions paid with respect to such shares. If a participant terminates his or her service for any reason (other than death or disability), or the participant’s service is terminated by the Company for cause, then the participant shall forfeit to the Company any shares acquired by the participant which remain subject to vesting Conditions as of the date of the participant’s termination of service. If a participant’s service is terminated by the Company without cause, or due to the death or disability of the participant, then the vesting of any restricted stock award shall be accelerated in full as of the effective date of the participant’s termination of service.

The following table summarizes the activity of the Company’s unvested restricted stock units as of September 30, 2009 and changes during the fiscal years ended September 30, 2009, is presented below:

	Restricted Stocks
				Weighted-
	Number of			average grant-
	shares			date fair value
Unvested as of September 30, 2008		25,250,000			$	0.62
Restricted stocks canceled		(2,100,000	)			0.62

Unvested as of September 30, 2009		23,150,000			$	0.62

The total unvested restricted stock as of September 30, 2009 and 2008 were 23,150,000 and 25,250,000 shares, respectively.

Stock-based compensation expense for restricted stock for the fiscal years ended September 30, 2009 and 2008 were $2.5 million and $0.6 million, respectively. As of September 30, 2009, the total unrecognized compensation expense net of forfeitures relate to unvested awards not yet recognized is $5.3 million and is expected to be amortized over a weighted average period of 1.9 years.

Options

Amended and Restated 2007 Equity Incentive Plan

In September 2007, the Company adopted the 2007 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2007 Plan”) that allows the Company to grant non-statutory stock options to employees, consultants and directors. A total of 10 million shares of the Company’s common stock are authorized for issuance under the 2007 Plan. The maximum number of shares that may be issued under the 2007 Plan will be increased for any options granted that expire, are terminated or repurchased by the Company for an amount not greater than the holder’s purchase price and may also be adjusted subject to action by the stockholders for changes in capital structure. Stock options may have exercise prices of not less than 100% of the fair value of a share of stock at the effective date of the grant of the option.

On February 5, 2008, the Board of Directors of the Company adopted the Amended and Restated 2007 Equity Incentive Plan (the “Amended 2007 Plan”), which increases the number of shares authorized for issuance from 10 million to 15 million shares of common stock and was to be effective upon approval of the Company’s stockholders and upon the Company’s reincorporation into the State of Delaware.

On May 5, 2008, at the Company’s Annual Meeting of Stockholders, the Company’s stockholders approved the Amended 2007 Plan. On August 13, 2008, the Company reincorporated into the State of Delaware. As of September 30, 2009 and 2008, 12,060,000 and 7,339,375 shares of common stock, respectively remain available for future grants under the Amended 2007 Plan.

These options vest over various periods up to four years and expire no more than ten years from the date of grant. A summary of activity under the Amended 2007 Plan is as follows:

	Option Available For Grant			Number of Option Outstanding			Weighted Average Fair Value Per Share		Weighted Average Exercise Price Per Share
Balance at September 30, 2007		2,700,000			7,300,000		$	0.66	$	1.20
Additional shares reserved		5,000,000			—			—		—
Options granted		(870,000	)		870,000		$	0.37	$	0.61
Options cancelled		509,375			(509,375	)	$	0.42	$	0.85
Balance at September 30, 2008		7,339,375			7,660,625		$	0.39	$	0.62
Options granted		(500,000	)		500,000		$	0.13	$	0.20
Options cancelled		5,220,625			(5,220,625	)	$	0.39	$	0.62
Balance at September 30, 2009		12,060,000			2,940,000		$	0.32	$	0.55

The total fair value of shares vested during fiscal years 2009 and 2008 were $246,000 and $726,000, respectively.

At September 30, 2009 and 2008, 2,940,000 and 7,660,625 options were outstanding, respectively and had a weighted-average remaining contractual life of 6.98 years and 9.03 years, respectively. Of these options, 2,333,127 and 3,477,506 shares were vested and exercisable on September 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively. The weighted-average exercise price and weighted-average remaining contractual term of options currently exercisable were $0.62 and 6.36 years, respectively.

The fair values of employee stock options granted during the fiscal years ended September 30, 2009 and 2008 were estimated using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the following weighted average assumptions:

	Year Ended September 30,
	2009			2008
Volatility		97.0	%		99.2	%
Expected dividend		0.0	%		0.0	%
Risk-free interest rate		1.68	%		2.42	%
Expected term in years		3.9			2.8
Weighted-average fair value	$	0.13		$	0.35

The Company repriced a total of 7,720,000 shares of Common Stock underlying outstanding options. The other terms of the options, including the vesting schedules, remained unchanged as a result of the repricing. Total additional compensation expense on non-vested options relating to the May 9, 2008 repricing is approximately $0.4 million which will be expensed ratably over the remaining vesting period. Additional compensation expense on vested options relating to the May 9, 2008 repricing is approximately $0.3 million which was fully expensed as of June 30, 2008. The repriced options had originally been issued with $0.94 to $1.65 per share option exercise prices, which prices reflected the then current market prices of the Company’s stock on the dates of original grant. As a result of the recent sharp reduction in the Company’s stock price, our Board of Directors believed that such options no longer would properly incentivize our employees, officers, directors and consultants who held such options to work in the best interests of our company and stockholders.

In accordance with the provisions of FASB ASC 718, the Company has recorded stock-based compensation expense of $3.4 million and $5.6 million for the fiscal years ended September 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively, which include the compensation effect for the options repriced and restricted stock. The stock-based compensation expense is based on the fair value of the options at the grant date. The Company recognized compensation expense for share-based awards based upon their value on the date of grant amortized over the applicable service period, less an allowance estimated future forfeited awards.

NOTE 11 — FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS 157, “Fair Value Measurements”, codified in FASB ASC 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures”, which defines fair value to measure assets and liabilities, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, and requires additional disclosures about the use of fair value. FASB ASC 820 is applicable whenever another accounting pronouncement requires or permits assets and liabilities to be measured at fair value. FASB ASC 820 does not expand or require any new fair value measures. FASB ASC 820 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. In December 2007, the FASB agreed to a one year deferral of FASB ASC 820’s fair value measurement requirements for nonfinancial assets and liabilities that are not required or permitted to be measured at fair value on a recurring basis. The Company adopted FASB ASC 820 on October 1, 2008, which had no effect on the Company’s financial position, operating results or cash flows.

FASB ASC 820 defines fair value and establishes a hierarchal framework which prioritizes and ranks the market price observability used in fair value measurements. Market price observability is affected by a number of factors, including the type of asset or liability and the characteristics specific to the asset or liability being measured. Assets and liabilities with readily available, active, quoted market prices or for which fair value can be measured from actively quoted prices generally are deemed to have a higher degree of market price observability and a lesser degree of judgment used in measuring fair value. Under FASB ASC 820, the inputs used to measure fair value must be classified into one of three levels as follows:

Level 1 -

Quoted prices in an active market for identical assets or liabilities;

Level 2 -	Observable inputs other than Level 1, quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets and liabilities in markets that are not active, and model-derived prices whose inputs are observable or whose significant value drivers are observable; and

Level 3 -	Assets and liabilities whose significant value drivers are unobservable.

Observable inputs are based on market data obtained from independent sources, while unobservable inputs are based on the Company’s market assumptions. Unobservable inputs require significant management judgment or estimation. In some cases, the inputs used to measure an asset or liability may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In those instances, the fair value measurement is required to be classified using the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. Such determination requires significant management judgment.

The Company’s liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis consisted of the following types of instruments as of September 30, 2009:

	Fair Value at September 30, 2009		Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets		Significant other observable inputs		Significant unobservable inputs
			(Level 1)		(Level 2)		(Level 3)

Derivative liabilites	$	178,000		-		-	$	178,000
Warrant liabilities		2,068,000		-		-		2,068,000

Total liabilities	$	2,246,000		-		-	$	2,246,000

The Company’s valuation techniques used to measure the fair values of the derivative liabilities and warrant liabilities were derived from management’s assumptions or estimations and are discussed in Note 9 – Convertible Notes.

The carrying values of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accrued expenses, accounts payable, accrued liabilities and amounts due to related party approximate fair value because of the short-term maturity of these instruments. The Company does not invest its cash in auction rate securities. The carrying values of the Company’s derivative liabilities and warrant liabilities approximate fair value (see Note 9 – Convertible Notes) for the methods and assumptions used in the fair value estimation.

At September 30, 2009 and 2008, the carrying value of the Company’s convertible notes was $3.1 million and $0.1 million, respectively. These notes bear interest at 6% per annum and are due on March 7, 2010. Warrants were issued in connection with the issuance of the notes, and the warrants are measured at fair value both initially and in subsequent periods. The notes contain two embedded derivative features, the conversion option and a redemption privilege accruing to the holder if certain conditions exist (the “compound embedded derivative”), which are measured at fair value both initially and in subsequent periods (see Note 9 – Convertible Notes). The fair value of the convertible notes can be determined based on the fair value of the entire financial instrument. However, it was not practicable to estimate the fair value of the convertible notes because the Company has to incur excessive costs to estimate the fair value.

NOTE 13 — COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Operating lease

The Company leases several of its facilities under operating leases.

Minimum payments under these leases are as follows:

Fiscal Year Ended September 30,	Amount
2010	$	656,000
2011		234,000
2012		118,000
2013		-
2014		-

Total	$	1,008,000

Rent expense under operating leases was $0.8 million and $0.8 million in fiscal years 2009 and 2008, respectively.

Research and development commitment

Pursuant to a joint research and development laboratory agreement with Shanghai University, dated December 15, 2006 and expiring on December 15, 2016, Solar EnerTech is committed to fund the establishment of laboratories and completion of research and development activities. The Company committed to invest no less than RMB5 million each year for the first three years and no less than RMB30 million cumulatively for the first five years. The following table summarizes the commitments in U.S. dollars based upon a translation of the RMB amounts into U.S. dollars at an exchange rate of 6.8290 as of September 30, 2009.

Year	Amount
2010	$	2,667,000
2011		1,113,000

Total	$	3,780,000

The Company intends to increase research and development spending as it grows its business. The payment to Shanghai University will be used to fund program expenses and equipment purchase. Due to the delay in the progress of research and development activities, the amount of $1.7 million originally committed to be paid during fiscal years 2009 and 2008 has not been paid as of September 30, 2009, as Shanghai University has not incurred the additional costs to meet its research and development milestones and therefore has not made the request for payments. If the Company fails to make payments, when requested, it is deemed to be a breach of the agreement. If the Company is unable to correct the breach within the requested time frame, Shanghai University could seek compensation up to an additional 15% of the total committed amount. As of September 30, 2009, the Company is not in breach as it has not received any compensation request from Shanghai University.

The agreement is for shared investment in research and development on fundamental and applied technology in the fields of semi-conductive photovoltaic theory, materials, cells and modules. The agreement calls for Shanghai University to provide equipment, personnel and facilities for joint laboratories. The Company will provide funding, personnel and facilities for conducting research and testing. Research and development achievements from this joint research and development agreement will be available to both parties. The Company is entitled to intellectual property rights including copyrights and patents obtained as a result of this research.

Expenditures under this agreement will be accounted for as research and development expenditures under FASB ASC 730, "Research and Development” and expensed as incurred.

NOTE 14 — RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

At September 30, 2009 and September 30, 2008, the accounts payable and accrued liabilities, related party balance was $5.6 million and $5.5 million, respectively. The $5.6 million accrued liability represents $4.6 million of compensation expense related to the Company’s obligation to withhold tax upon exercise of stock options by Mr. Young in the fiscal year 2006 and the related interest and penalties, and $1.0 million of indemnification provided by the Company to Mr. Young for any liabilities he may incur as a result of previous stock options granted to him by Ms. Blanchard, a former officer, in conjunction with the purchase of Infotech on August 19, 2008.

On April 27, 2009, the Company entered into a Joint Venture Agreement with Jiangsu Shunda Semiconductor Development Co., Ltd. to form a joint venture in the United States by forming a new company, to be known as Shunda-SolarE Technologies, Inc., in order to jointly pursue opportunities in the United States solar market. After its formation, the Joint Venture Company’s name was later changed to SET-Solar Corp. As of September 30, 2009, the Company had advanced SET-Solar Corp $136,000 in cash.

NOTE 15 — FOREIGN OPERATIONS

The Company identifies its operating segments based on its business activities. The Company operates within a single operating segment, the manufacture of solar energy cells and modules in China.

The Company’s manufacturing operations and fixed assets are all based in China. The Company’s sales occurred in Europe, Australia, North America and China.

NOTE 16 — SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

On January 7, 2010, the Company entered into a Series A and Series B Notes Conversion Agreement with the holders of Notes representing at least seventy-five percent of the aggregate principal amounts outstanding under the Notes to restructure the terms of the Notes. Pursuant to the terms of the Conversion Agreement, the Notes will be automatically converted into shares of the Company’s common stock at a conversion price of $0.15 per share and be amended to eliminate the maximum ownership percentage restriction prior to such conversion. Under the Conversion Agreement, the Notes have been amended and election has been taken such that all outstanding principal, all accrued but unpaid interest, and all accrued and unpaid Late Charges (as defined in the Notes) with respect to all of the outstanding Notes have been automatically converted into shares of the Company’s common stock at a conversion price per share of common stock of $0.15 effective as of January 7, 2010. As of the Conversion Date, no further payments are owing or payable under the Notes. As of the Conversion Date, each Note no longer represents a right to receive any cash payments (including, but not limited to, interest payments) and only represents a right to receive the shares of common stock into which such Note has been automatically converted into.

In connection with the Conversion, on January 7, 2010, the Company entered into an Amendment to the Series A, Series B and Series C Warrants with the holders of at least a majority of the common stock underlying each of its outstanding Series A Warrants, Series B Warrants and Series C Warrants (collectively the “PIPE Warrants”). The Warrant Amendment reduces the exercise price for all of the PIPE Warrants from $1.21, $0.90 and $1.00, respectively, to $0.15, removes certain maximum ownership provisions and removes anti-dilution provisions for lower-priced security issuances.

Pursuant to the Conversion Agreement after the closing Conversion, the Company shall issue to its employees additional options to purchase shares of its common stock equal to approximately 30% of each employee’s pre-closing option holdings to provide for additional equity incentive on account for the dilution upon conversion of the Notes and re-pricing of the PIPE Warrants. These additional options shall be priced at $0.15 per share.

This Conversion Agreement resulted in modifications or exchanges of Notes and PIPE Warrants, which should be accounted for pursuant to FASB ASC 470-50, "Debt/Modifications and Extinguishment" formerly referenced as EITF Consensus for Issue No. 96-19, "Debtor's Accounting for a Modification (or Exchange) of Convertible Debt Instruments", and FASB ASC 470-50, "Debt/Modifications and Extinguishment" formerly referenced as EITF Consensus for Issue No.06-06, "Debtor's Accounting for a Modification (or Exchange) of Convertible Debt Instruments". Given the significant reduction on the exercise price from $0.57 and $0.69, respectively per share to $0.15 per share, the modification is likely to be considered substantial, and therefore the Notes are considered extinguished. Given the significant reduction on the exercise price from $1.21, $0.90 and $1.00, respectively, per share to $0.15 per share, the modification is likely to be considered substantial, and therefore the liability associated with the PIPE Warrants at the pre Conversion Agreement exercise price is considered extinguished and will be replaced with the liability associated with the PIPE Warrants at the post Conversion Agreement exercise price, which will be recorded at fair value. As of the date of the annual report, we have not performed the valuation of the Notes and their related compound embedded derivatives and warrants immediately before the modification, and therefore cannot compute the gain or loss for the extinguishment of the Notes. However, assuming that the assumptions for the valuation of the compound embedded derivatives and warrants remain the same as of the date immediately before the modification, the Company’s preliminary estimation of the potential loss from the extinguishment of the Notes and the amendment of the PIPE Warrants is to be at least $7.8 million (unaudited).

Pursuant to SFAS 165, as codified in ASC 855, “Subsequent Events”, the Company has reviewed all subsequent events and transactions that occurred through January 12, 2010, which is the date the Company's Annual Report (Form 10-K) was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

We conducted an evaluation required by Rule 13a-15 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act, as of September 30, 2009.

The evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures included a review of our processes and implementation and the effect on the information generated for use in this Annual Report on Form 10-K. In the course of this evaluation, we sought to identify any significant deficiencies or material weaknesses in our disclosure controls and procedures, to determine whether we had identified any acts of fraud involving personnel who have a significant role in our disclosure controls and procedures and to confirm that any necessary corrective action, including procedure improvements, was documented. Based on our evaluation as of September 30, 2009, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective solely because of the material weakness in management’s report on internal control over financial reporting described below to ensure that the information required to be disclosed by us in our reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act (i) is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms and (ii) is accumulated and communicated to our management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act). Internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of consolidated financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). Internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the Company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of consolidated financial statements in accordance with GAAP, and that receipts and expenditures of the Company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and or our Board of Directors; and (3) 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 interim or annual consolidated financial statements.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, 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 policies or procedures may deteriorate.

A deficiency in internal control over financial reporting exists when the design or operation of a control does not allow management or employees, in the normal course of performing their assigned functions, to prevent or detect misstatements on a timely basis. A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the company’s annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.

Under the supervision of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, management conducted an assessment of the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of September 30, 2009, using the criteria established in Internal Control — Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (“COSO”).

We maintain our primary accounting books and records under PRC GAAP, and we prepare our consolidated financial statements under U.S. GAAP through the use of memorandum entries. As described in more detail below, our fiscal 2009 financial reporting close process was ineffective in: (i) recording certain transactions according to the applicable accounting pronouncement, (ii) preventing amounts from being incorrectly classified in our statement of cash flows and (iii) preparing certain critical financial statement disclosures.

	(i)	It was determined that we inappropriately accounted for our contract manufacturing transactions , and as such we were required to record an audit adjustment to reduce sales and the corresponding cost of sales by approximately $1.5 million.

	(ii)	Our auditors identified several items in the consolidated cash flow statement that were not classified and presented in a manner consistent with the requirements of the applicable accounting and reporting standards. Accordingly, we corrected the cash flow statement to conform to the classification and presentation requirements of FASB ASC 230, “Statement of Cash Flows”, formerly referenced as SFAS 95, “Statement of Cash Flows”.

(iii)

Our auditors also identified that there were a number of missing required footnote disclosures related to new accounting pronouncements and footnote disclosures that were inaccurate or inadequate specifically surrounding liquidity and going concern, share-based payments, and subsequent events.

The material weakness described above could result in a material misstatement of the Company’s consolidated financial statements that would not be prevented or detected. Based on this assessment, management concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was not effective as of September 30, 2009.

Remediation of Material Weakness

We have engaged in, and will continue to engage in, substantial efforts to address the material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting. The audit committee will continue to monitor the remediation plan to address the material weakness noted in prior periods and which remains at the completion of this evaluation of the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting.

To remediate the material weakness described above, the Company has implemented or plans to implement the remedial measures described below.

		¨	Employ resources with sufficient U.S. GAAP competence to improve our finance and accounting department and the quality of our US GAAP accounting books and records;
		¨	Provide additional training and cross-training to our existing personnel, including areas of new and emerging accounting standards; and
		¨	Enhance our accounting and finance policy and procedure manuals to provide guidance to our finance and accounting staff and develop tools or checklists to improve the completeness and accuracies of financial disclosures.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

There was no change in our internal control over financial reporting during our fourth quarter of fiscal 2009 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

This annual report does not include an attestation report of the Company’s registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management’s report was not subject to attestation by the Company’s registered public accounting firm pursuant to temporary rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission that permit the company to provide only management’s report in this annual report.

The 2007 Plan provides for the issuance of a maximum of 10 million shares of common stock in connection with awards under the 2007 Plan. Such awards may include stock options, restricted stock purchase rights, restricted stock bonuses and restricted stock unit awards. The 2007 Plan may be administered by the Company’s Board of Directors or a committee duly appointed by the Board of Directors and has a term of 10 years. Participation in the Plan is limited to employees, directors and consultants of the Company and its subsidiaries and other affiliates. Options granted under the 2007 Plan must have an exercise price per share not less than the fair market value of the Company’s common stock on the date of grant. Options granted under the 2007 Plan may not have a term exceeding 10 years. Awards will vest upon conditions established by the Board of Directors or it’s duly appointed Committee. Subject to the requirements and limitations of section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, in the event of a Change in Control (as defined in the 2007 Plan), the Board of Directors may provide for the acceleration of the exercisability or vesting and/settlement of any award, the Board of Directors may provide for a cash-out of awards or the Acquirer (as defined in the 2007 Plan) may either assume or continue the Company’s rights and obligations under any awards.

SECURITY OWNERSHIP OF CERTAIN BENEFICIAL OWNERS AND MANAGEMENT

The following tables sets forth security information as of November 30, 2009, as to each person or group who is known to us to be the beneficial owner of more than 5% of our outstanding voting securities, each of our executive officers and directors and of all of our executive officers and directors as a group. On November 30, 2009, we had 111,506,696 shares of common stock outstanding.

Beneficial ownership is determined under the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission and generally includes voting or investment power over securities. Except in cases where community property laws apply or as indicated in the footnotes to this table, we believe that each shareholder identified in the table possesses sole voting and investment power over all shares of common stock shown as beneficially owned by the shareholder.

Shares of common stock subject to options or warrants that are currently exercisable or exercisable within 60 days after November 30, 2009 are considered outstanding and beneficially owned by the person holding the options 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.

Security Ownership of Certain Beneficial Owners

	Number of Shares
Name and Address	Beneficially Owned			Percentage Owned
The Quercus Trust (1)		22,604,936	(2) (3)		20.27	%

(1) Information based on Amendment No. 4 to Schedule 13D dated November 12, 2009. The address for The Quercus Trust is 1835 Newport Blvd., A109-PMB 467, Costa Mesa, CA 92627. Each of David Gelbaum and Monica Chavez Gelbaum, acting alone, has the power to exercise voting and investment control over the shares of Common Stock owned by The Quercus Trust.

(2) According to the form 13D/A filed on November 12, 2009, The Quercus Trust holds warrants to purchase 39.59 million shares and convertible notes convertible into 15.47 million shares.

(3) Pursuant to the terms of the Series A Convertible Note, Series B Convertible Note, Series A warrants and Series B warrants held by The Quercus Trust, The Quercus Trust is prohibited from converting or exercising such derivative securities to the extent that after giving effect to such conversion or exercise, The Quercus Trust would beneficially own in excess of 4.99% or 9.99%, as the case may be, of the shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to such conversion or exercise. Consequently, in accordance with Rule 13D of the Exchange Act (“Rule 13D”), the beneficial ownership of The Quercus Trust does not take into account the conversion or exercise of such derivative securities into shares of Common Stock in excess of the limitation contained therein. Further, The Quercus Trust is prohibited from exercising their Series C warrants to the extent that after giving effect to such exercise, The Quercus Trust would beneficially own in excess of 9.99% or 19.99% of the shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to such exercise. Therefore, in accordance with Rule 13D, The Quercus Trust is deemed to beneficial owners of only a certain number of shares of Common Stock equal to 20.27% of the total issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock, after giving effect to the exercise of a small portion of Series C warrants to allow for The Quercus Trust's beneficial ownership to reach 20.27%.
