XsunX NAMES HIGH TECH LEADER PRESIDENT AND CEO

SANTA MONICA, Calif., Oct. 5, 2003 - XsunX (OTC BB:SUNR.OB - News) is pleased to announce the appointment of Tom Djokovich as its new President and CEO. Mr. Djokovich will lead XsunX's efforts to leverage its patented technology to produce solar electric glass to help meet the burgeoning demand for alternative sources of energy.

Mr. Djokovich brings to XsunX over 23 years of executive management and entrepreneurial experience managing growth and innovation in both the high-tech and building industries. He is a veteran manager of publicly held corporations and has successfully raised millions of dollars in equity capital. In addition to his general management duties, Mr. Djokovich has been directly responsible for managing investor relations and compliance with Security Exchange Commission regulations.

"The alternative and renewable energy marketplace is poised for significant growth in the years ahead," stated Brian Altounian, the company's Chairman. "I am very excited about the potential that exists for XsunX under Mr. Djokovich's direction. He will lead in the growth of these markets and build a very successful company.''

Discussing the company's prospects, Mr. Djokovich added, "The opportunity for alternative renewable energy technologies is to employ all building surfaces and spaces. Unfortunately though, prior to the development of XsunX's breakthrough technology, the potential for wide scale integration has been limited. Our goal is to provide governments, developers, businesses and architects with a commercially viable opportunity for converting today's large areas of architectural glass into high performance energy producing appliances.''
