Section 1 – Registrant’s Business and Operations

Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

Visualant, Inc. (“Visualant” or the “Company”), an emerging leader in authentication systems technology, announced on November 3, 2010 that TransTech Systems, Inc. (“TransTech”), a subsidiary of the Company and a pioneer provider of industry-leading identification solutions, announced it was awarded a contract valued at approximately $450,000 from a major North American defense and aerospace contractor.

TransTech has been selected as the provider for the $450,000 next generation upgrade to the worldwide enterprise employee badge printing systems of this unidentified Fortune 50 Company. This is the third upgrade contract awarded to TransTech since 2002. It is the most technically complex to date as the customer adopts new Federal PIV-I standards to issue employee smart card credentials compatible with HSPD-12. These new Federal standards, first directed by then-President Bush in 2004, provide for greater assurance that security is maintained. The latest award is considered a vote of confidence in the customer’s satisfaction with TransTech’s historic performance and the ability of TransTech to meet the company’s future needs as identification and certification requirements continue to evolve.
