PROSPECTUS

NEW ENERGY TECHNOLOGIES, INC.
10,850,000 SHARES OF COMMON STOCK

     This Prospectus (the “Prospectus”) relates to the resale by certain of our stockholders named in the section of this Prospectus titled “Selling Stockholders” (the “Selling Stockholders”) of up to 10,850,000 shares of our common stock (the “Shares”). The Shares being offered under this Prospectus are comprised of 9,700,000 Shares that were purchased by the Selling Stockholders in transactions with us or with our affiliates pursuant to exemptions from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933 as amended (the “Securities Act”) and 1,150,000 Shares of common stock which may be issued upon exercise of outstanding options at prices ranging from $0.52 to $1.66 per Share.

     Although we will pay substantially all the expenses incident to the registration of the Shares, we will not receive any proceeds from the sales by the Selling Stockholders.

     The Selling Stockholders and any underwriter, broker-dealer or agent that participates in the sale of the shares or interests therein may be deemed "underwriters" within the meaning of Section 2(11) of the Securities Act. Any discounts, commissions, concessions, profit or other compensation any of them earns on any sale or resale of the shares, directly or indirectly, may be underwriting discounts and commissions under the Securities Act. The Selling Stockholders who are "underwriters" within the meaning of Section 2(11) of the Securities Act will be subject to the Prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act.

     Our common stock is presently quoted for trading under the symbol “NENE” on the over the counter bulletin board (the “OTCBB”). On September 30, 2009 the closing price of the common stock, as reported on the OTCBB was $1.19 per share. The Selling Stockholders have advised us that they will sell the shares of common stock from time to time in the open market, on the OTCBB, in privately negotiated transactions or a combination of these methods, at market prices prevailing at the time of sale, at prices related to the prevailing market prices, at negotiated prices, or otherwise as described under the section of this Prospectus titled “PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION.”

The purchase of the shares offered through this Prospectus involves a high degree of risk.

Please refer to “RISK FACTORS” beginning on page <>.

     Neither the Securities and Exchange Commission nor any state securities commission has approved or disapproved of these securities or passed upon the adequacy or accuracy of this Prospectus. Any representation to the contrary is a criminal offense.

PROSPECTUS SUMMARY

     This summary only highlights selected information contained in greater detail elsewhere in this Prospectus. This summary may not contain all of the information that you should consider before investing in our common stock. You should carefully read the entire Prospectus, including "RISK FACTORS" beginning on page 10, and the consolidated financial statements, before making an investment decision.

     Unless the context otherwise requires, the terms “we,” “our,” “us,” “Company” and “New Energy” refer to New Energy Technologies, Inc. a Nevada corporation, and its consolidated subsidiaries.

About Us and Our Business

     We were incorporated in the State of Nevada on May 5, 1998 under the name “Octillion Corp.” with an authorized capital stock of 100,000,000 shares of common stock, $0.001 par value, and 1,000,000 shares of preferred stock, $0.10 par value. As of August 31, 2009, there were 58,600,600 shares of common stock issued and outstanding; there are no preferred shares issued and outstanding.

     Since inception, we have been a technology incubator focused on the identification, acquisition, development and eventual commercialization of emerging technologies initially in the biotech and subsequently in the alternative energy sectors; however, commencing in August 2007 with the spinoff of our then wholly-owned subsidiary, MicroChannel Technologies Corporation, we elected to focus all of our resources on alternative energy technologies. Accordingly, effective December 2, 2008 we changed our name to “New Energy Technologies, Inc.” so as to more accurately reflect our focus on alternative energy technologies. Our strategy is to develop new technologies and, where warranted, acquire rights to obtain licenses to technologies and products that are being developed by third parties, primarily universities and government agencies, through sponsored research and development agreements.

     Among our current research and development activities is the development of a technology, through a research agreement (the “USF Sponsored Research Agreement”) with the University of South Florida Board of Trustees (“USF”) relating to the development of a prototype flexible semi-transparent organic power foil (1ft by 1ft dimension) for an energy-generating window glass in building-integrated photovoltaic products (the “SolarWindow™ Technology”); the SolarWindow™ Technology would adapt existing home and office glass windows into ones capable of generating electricity from solar energy without losing significant transparency or requiring major changes in manufacturing infrastructure. The SolarWindow™ Technology is subject to a patent application filed by USF (the “USF Patent Application”). Please refer to “DESCRIPTION OF OUR BUSINESS AND PROPERTY.”

     We are also developing a technology (the “MotionPower™ Technology”) for capturing the kinetic energy of moving vehicles in order to use this captured energy to generate clean electricity. The Motion Power™ Technology is subject to nine patent applications filed by us (collectively, the

“Motion Power™ Patents”). Please refer to “DESCRIPTION OF OUR BUSINESS AND PROPERTY.”

     Our corporate headquarters is located at 3905 National Drive, Suite 110, Burtonsville, Maryland 20866. Our telephone number is (800) 213-0689.

Risk Factors

     Our business operations are subject to numerous risks, including the risk of delays in or discontinuation of our research and development due to lack of financing, inability to obtain necessary regulatory approvals to market the products, unforeseen safety issues relating to the products and dependence on third party collaborators to conduct research and development of the products. Because we are an early stage company with a limited history of operations, we are also subject to many risks associated with early-stage companies. For a more detailed discussion of some of the risks you should consider, you are urged to carefully review and consider the section entitled “RISK FACTORS” beginning on page 10 of this Prospectus.

Description of Our Common Stock

     Our authorized capital stock consists of stock of 100,000,000 shares of common stock, each with a par value of $0.001, and 1,000,000 shares of preferred stock, each with a par value of $0.10. As of August 31, 2009, there were 58,600,600 shares of common stock were issued and outstanding. No preferred shares were issued and outstanding. This total does not include any shares of common stock issuable upon the exercise of any of our issued and outstanding stock options or stock purchase warrants, including, but not limited to, the Non-redeemable Series E and Series F Warrants. Please refer to DESCRIPTION OF OUR SECURITIES.”

RISK FACTORS

     You should carefully consider the risks described below before purchasing any shares. Our most significant risks and uncertainties are described below; if any of the following risks actually occur, our business, financial condition, or results of operations could be materially adversely affected, the trading of our common stock could decline, and you may lose all or part of your investment therein. You should acquire the shares only if you can afford to lose your entire investment. Our filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission 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 have described below. Please refer to Special Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statementson page 23 of this Prospectus.

RISKS RELATED TO OUR FINANCIAL CONDITION AND OPERATIONS

     We have experienced significant losses and expect losses to continue for the foreseeable future.

     We are a development stage company; we have not generated any revenues since inception and we do not expect to generate any revenues for the foreseeable future. We have incurred losses since inception. We had a working capital surplus of $2,214,494, $2,941,589, and $1,414,170 at May 31, 2009, August 31, 2008 and August 31, 2007, respectively, and stockholders’ equity of $2,214,494, $2,941,589, and $1,414,622 at May 31, 2009, August 31, 2008, and August 31, 2007, respectively. We anticipate incurring losses at least through August 31, 2010.

     We cannot currently estimate with any accuracy the amount of either the additional funds (beyond our current contractual requirements) or time required to successfully commercialize either the SolarWindow™ Technology or the MotionPower™ Technology because the actual cost and time may vary significantly depending on results of current basic research and development and product testing, cost of acquiring an exclusive license, changes in the focus and direction of our research and development programs, competitive and technological advances, the cost of filing, prosecuting, defending and enforcing patent claims, the regulatory approval process, manufacturing, marketing and other costs associated with commercialization of products following receipt of regulatory approvals and other factors.

     Our independent auditors have expressed substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern, which may hinder our ability to obtain future financing.

     Our independent registered public accounting firm has issued its report, which includes an explanatory paragraph for going concern uncertainty on our financial statements as of August 31, 2008. Because we have not yet generated revenues from our operations our ability to continue as a going concern is currently heavily dependent upon our ability to obtain additional financing to sustain our operations. Such financing may take the form of the issuance of common or preferred stock or debt securities, or may involve bank financing. Although we have completed several equity financings, the fact that our auditors have issued a “going concern” opinion may hinder our ability to obtain additional financing in the future. Currently, we have no commitments to obtain any additional financing, and there can be no assurance that financing will be available in amounts or on terms acceptable to us, if at all.

     Evaluating our business and future prospects may be difficult due to the rapidly changing technological and market landscape.

     There is limited historical information available about our company upon which you can base your evaluation of our business and prospects. The markets we are addressing are rapidly evolving and are experiencing technological advances and new market entrants. Our future success may require us to outsource not only our research efforts, but ultimately, our manufacturing and distribution, and there is no guarantee we can do this at a price that is competitive with our competitors, or that we can gain access to new, more cost effective technologies that may be developed by our competitors. Moreover, the SolarWindow™ Technology and the MotionPower™ Technology are only in the early stages of development and we have limited experience upon which to predict whether it can be successfully commercialized. Please refer to “RISKS RELATED TO OUR TECHNOLOGIES AND THE INDUSTRIES IN WHICH WE OPERATE” below.

We may require additional financing to sustain our operations.

     Our cash requirements may vary materially from those now planned. We cannot currently estimate with any accuracy the amount of additional capital we may require because the amount needed may vary significantly depending on results of current basic research and development and product testing, cost of acquiring an exclusive (versus non-exclusive) license of the technologies, changes in the focus and direction of our research and development programs, competitive and technological advances, the cost of filing, prosecuting, defending and enforcing patent claims, the regulatory approval process, if any, that must be addressed, manufacturing, marketing and, finally, other costs associated with commercialization of products following receipt of regulatory approvals and other factors.

     If adequate funds are not available or prohibitively expensive when required, the consequences would be a material adverse effect on our business, operating results, financial condition and prospects. We may be required to delay, reduce the scope of or terminate one or more or all of our research programs; to obtain funds through arrangements with collaborative partners or others that may require us to relinquish rights to SolarWindow™ Technology, or other technologies or products based upon such technologies that we would otherwise seek to develop or commercialize ourselves; or to license the rights to such technologies or products on terms that are less favorable to us than might otherwise be available. If we raise additional funds by issuing equity or debt securities, further dilution to stockholders may result and new investors could have rights superior to existing stockholders.

 

7



     Depending on our method of raising funds, now and in the future, your shares may be diluted.

     If we raise additional funds by selling additional shares of our common stock, or securities convertible into or exercisable for shares of our common stock, the ownership interest of our stockholders may be diluted.

     We have not generated revenues and because we currently do not have, and may never develop, any commercialized product, we do not anticipate generating revenues for the foreseeable future.

     As noted above, we have not generated any revenues from our operations. We currently do not have any commercialized products or any source of revenue. We have invested substantially all of our time and resources over the last three years in the identification, acquisition of rights to, and the research and development of technologies. Even if we were to acquire a license for the SolarWindow™ Technology from USF, we will require additional research, development, significant marketing efforts, and in some cases regulatory approval before any of the technologies will generate any revenues. This will necessitate additional investment of time and capital by us.

     We cannot currently estimate with any accuracy the amount of either the additional funds or time required to successfully commercialize either technology, because the actual cost and time may vary significantly depending on results of current basic research and development and product testing, cost of acquiring an exclusive license, changes in the focus and direction of our research and development programs, competitive and technological advances, the cost of filing, prosecuting, defending and enforcing patent claims, the regulatory approval process, manufacturing, marketing and other costs associated with commercialization of products following receipt of regulatory approvals and other factors.

     The success of our research and development activities is uncertain. If the research efforts are not successful, we will be unable to generate revenues from our operations and we will have to cease doing business.

     We are at an early stage of development. Potential commercialization of the SolarWindow™ Technology and the MotionPower™ Technology require significant further research, development, testing, as well as additional capital investment before we can determine whether we will elect to acquire a license to the SolarWindow™ technology; accordingly, we cannot now project whether the ultimate results of these projects will prove successful or form the basis for a commercially viable technology or product.

     If results of the continuing research project do not warrant continued development of either of the SolarWindow™ Technology or the MotionPower™ Technology, we may need to abandon our business model, in which case our shares may have no value and you may lose your investment.

     We anticipate we will remain engaged in research and development for a considerable period of time, at least through our 2010 fiscal year end. Research and development activities, by their nature, preclude definitive statements as to the time required and costs involved in reaching certain objectives. Actual costs may exceed the amounts we have budgeted and actual time may exceed our expectations. As we have indicated, we cannot currently estimate with any accuracy the amount of additional funds we will ultimately require to commercialize one or both of our sponsored technologies. We may be unable to generate adequate revenue from operations or be able to financially support the level of research required to develop a commercially viable technology or product.

 

8



We lack sales and marketing experience and will likely rely on third party marketers.

     We expect to market and sell or otherwise commercialize the SolarWindow™ Technology or the MotionPower™ Technology (or any products derived from the technology) through distribution, co-marketing, co-promotion or licensing arrangements with third parties. Our management has limited experience in sales, marketing or distribution of photovoltaic and energy capture products. To the extent that we enter into distribution, co-marketing, co-promotion or licensing arrangements for the marketing or sale of the SolarWindow™ Technology or the MotionPower™ Technology (or any products derived from the technology) any revenues received by us will be dependent on the efforts of third parties. If any such parties were to breach or terminate its agreement with us or otherwise fail to conduct marketing activities successfully and in a timely manner, the commercialization of the SolarWindow™ Technology or the MotionPower™ Technology (or any products derived from the technology) would be delayed or terminated and would adversely affect our ability to generate revenues and our profitability.

RISKS RELATED TO OUR TECHNOLOGIES AND THE INDUSTRIES IN WHICH WE OPERATE

     The development of the SolarWindow™ or the MotionPower™ technologies is subject to the risks of failure inherent in the development of any novel technology.

     Ultimately, the development and commercialization of the SolarWindow™ Technology or the MotionPower™ Technology are subject to a number of risks that are particular to the development and commercialization of any novel technology. These risks include the following:

  • our failure to acquire or maintain license rights to the SolarWindow™ Technology, or products developed from the SolarWindow™ Technology;
  • the SolarWindow™ Technology or the MotionPower™ Technology (or any products derived from the technology) may prove to be ineffective, unsafe or otherwise fail to receive necessary regulatory approvals;
  • the SolarWindow™ Technology or the MotionPower™ Technology (or any products derived from the technology), even if safe and effective, may be difficult to manufacture on a large scale or uneconomical to market;
  • our marketing license or proprietary rights to products derived from the SolarWindow™ Technology or the MotionPower™ Technology technologies may not be sufficient to protect our products from competitors;
  • the proprietary rights of third parties may preclude us or our collaborators from making, using or marketing the products utilizing the SolarWindow™ Technology or the MotionPower™ Technology; or,
  • third parties may market superior, more effective, or less expensive technologies or products having comparable results to the SolarWindow™ or the MotionPower™ technologies (or any products derived from these technologies).

     If we ultimately do not obtain the necessary regulatory approvals for the commercialization of the SolarWindow™ Technology or the MotionPower™ Technology, we will not achieve profitable operations and your investment may be lost.

     Our ability to achieve profitability is dependent on ultimately commercializing the SolarWindow™ Technology or the MotionPower™ Technology and entering into agreements for commercialization of such products. At this time we have not submitted any products for regulatory approval nor do we have any agreements with any third parties regarding the commercialization of any products. The failure to obtain any such necessary regulatory approvals or to enter into any such necessary agreements could delay or prevent us from achieving profitability. This would result in the loss of your investment. Moreover, even if the SolarWindow™ Technology or the MotionPower™ Technology, or any products based on such technology is commercialized, we may still not achieve profitable operations, in which event we may need to curtail or cease our operations and as a result the value of your investment may be diminished or entirely eradicated.

     We may not receive an exclusive license for the SolarWindow™ Technology, or obtain such licenses on terms and conditions acceptable to us.

     Our success is dependent in part on our obtaining, if warranted, an exclusive license from USF to market the SolarWindow™ Technology. The receipt of any such license is contingent on successful early stage research, which we are funding.

     The receipt of exclusive license to market the SolarWindow™ Technology is also contingent on fulfilling the terms and conditions set forth in the USF Sponsored Research Agreement. We will need to reach agreement with respect to, among other things, licensing fees, reimbursement of patents costs, royalty rates, sub-licensing fees, and agreement to USF’s out-of-pocket expenses. We may not be successful in negotiating an exclusive license with USF. Failure to obtain an exclusive license, if warranted, will materially adversely affect our operations.

     If we are successful in negotiating an exclusive license agreement, we may not be able to make required cash payments, if any, when due or achieve other requirements. If we do not, we will risk the loss of our license and our right to develop and market products, if any, derived from the SolarWindow™ Technology, the loss of which will have a material adverse effect on the business and may require us to substantially curtail our operations.

     We may need additional licenses in the future in order to maintain our rights to market products developed from the SolarWindow™ Technology.

     We may not retain all rights to developments, inventions, patents and other proprietary information resulting from any collaborative arrangements, whether in effect as of the date hereof or which may be entered into at some future time with third parties. As a result, we may be required to license such developments, inventions, patents or other proprietary information from such third parties, possibly at significant cost to us. Our failure to obtain any such licenses could have a material adverse effect on the business, financial condition and results of our operations. In particular, the failure to obtain a license could prevent us from using or commercializing our technology.

 

10



     Our rights under the USF Sponsored Research Agreement may not provide meaningful commercial protection for our interests in the SolarWindow™ Technology because we have not yet obtained an exclusive license.

     Our ability to compete effectively depends in part, on our ability to maintain the proprietary nature of our technologies, which includes the ability to license patented technology or obtain, protect and enforce new patents on our technology and to protect our trade secrets. Since we have not yet obtained a license to the SolarWindow™ Technology, it is not clear what rights, if any, we may have under the USF Patent Application.

     If we cannot directly pursue others from infringing on the USF Patent Application, we will need to rely on USF, as the case may be, to do so. USF, as the case may be, may not devote the resources that may be required in any such effort to preclude others from infringing on their respective patents or other proprietary rights which may be related to the SolarWindow™ Technology. Even if we do obtain a license to the SolarWindow™ Technology, we cannot rely on the USF Patent Application to provide us with any significant competitive advantage. Others may challenge the USF Patent Application and, as a result, the USF Patent Application could be narrowed, invalidated or rendered unenforceable. Competitors may develop competitive products that may be outside the scope of protection, if any, afforded by the USF Patent Application.

     In addition, any future patent applications may not result in the issuance of patents in the United States or foreign countries. Further, it may take years to obtain the approval (or rejection) of patent applications. The validity or enforceability of a patent after its issuance by the Patent and Trademark Office can be challenged in litigation. The patents protecting our products may be infringed or successfully avoided through design innovation. The cost of patent litigation may be substantial. If the outcome of the litigation is adverse to the owner of the patent, third parties may then be able to use the invention covered by the patent without payment or permission of the patent owner.

     Compliance with environmental regulations, or dealing with harmful or hazardous materials involved in our research and development, may require us to divert our limited capital resources.

     Our research and development programs do not generally involve the handling of harmful or hazardous materials, but they may occasionally do so. Accordingly, we may become subject to federal, state and local laws and regulations governing the use, handling, storage and disposal of hazardous and biological materials. If violations of environmental, health and safety laws occur, we could be held liable for damages, penalties and costs of remedial actions. These expenses or this liability could have a significant negative impact on our business, financial condition and results of operations. We may violate environmental, health and safety laws in the future as a result of human error, equipment failure or other causes. Environmental laws could become more stringent over time, imposing greater compliance costs and increasing risks and penalties associated with violations. We may be subject to potentially conflicting and changing regulatory agendas of political, business and environmental groups. Changes to or restrictions on permitting requirements or processes, hazardous or biological material storage or handling might require an unplanned capital investment or relocation. Failure to comply with new or existing laws or regulations could harm our business, financial condition and results of operations. We do not have any insurance coverage with respect to damages or liabilities we may incur as a result of these activities.

 

11



     We operate in highly competitive markets; in attempting to acquire or commercialize technologies, we face competition from other companies, products and technologies.

     Our commercial success will depend on our ability and the ability of our sublicensees, if any, to compete effectively in product development areas such as, but not limited to, safety, efficacy, ease of use, patient or customer compliance, price, marketing and distribution. Our competitors may succeed in developing products that are more effective than any products derived from our research and development efforts or that would render such products obsolete and non-competitive. The alternative energy industry is characterized by intense competition, rapid product development and technological change. Most of the competition that we encounter is expected to come from companies, research institutions and universities who are researching and developing technologies and products similar to or competitive with any we may develop.

These companies enjoy numerous competitive advantages, including:

  • significantly greater name recognition;
  • established relations with,customers and third-party payors;
  • established distribution networks;
  • more advanced technologies and product development;
  • additional lines of products, and the ability to offer rebates, higher discounts or incentives to gain a competitive advantage;
  • greater experience in conducting research and development, manufacturing, obtaining regulatory approval for products, and marketing approved products; and
  • greater financial and human resources for product development, sales and marketing, and patent litigation.

     As a result, we may not be able to compete effectively against these companies or their products. Please refer to “DESCRIPTION OF OUR BUSINESS AND PROPERTY.

     To the extent we are able to develop products based upon or derived from the SolarWindow™ Technology and MotionPower™, if such products do not gain market acceptance, we may not achieve sales and market share.

     The development of a successful market for our products may be adversely affected by a number of factors, some of which are beyond our control, including:

  • our failure to produce products that compete favorably against other alternative energy and solar-photovoltaic power products on the basis of cost, quality and performance;
  • our failure to produce products that compete favorably against conventional energy sources and alternative distributed-generation technologies, such as wind, biomass and solar thermal, on the basis of cost, quality and performance;
  • our failure to qualify for and secure government reimbursements, tax incentives and any other financial subsidies which may be available to consumers for the implementation of alternative energy technologies such as solar systems at such time as our products become available for commercial sale, and which potential customers for our products may reasonably expect;
  • whether customers will accept our new designs under development; and

 

12



  • our failure to develop and maintain successful relationships with manufacturers, distributors, and other resellers, as well as strategic partners.
    If our products fail to gain market acceptance, we will be unable to achieve sales and market

share.

     If solar-photovoltaic or kinetic energy harvesting technologies are not suitable for widespread adoption or sufficient demand for such products does not develop or takes longer to develop than we anticipate, we may not be able to profitably exploit the SolarWindow™ Technology or MotionPower™ Technology.

     The market for solar-energy related products is emerging and rapidly evolving, and the market for energy harvesting products is generally unproven and not yet established; the success of products for these markets is uncertain.

     If our solar power or energy harvesting technologies prove unsuitable for widespread commercial deployment or if demand for such power products fails to develop sufficiently, we would be unable to achieve sales and market share. In addition, demand for such products in the markets and geographic regions we target may not develop or may develop more slowly than we anticipate. Many factors will influence the widespread adoption of our solar and energy capture products, including:

  • cost-effectiveness of our technologies as compared with conventional and competitive alternative energy technologies;
  • performance and reliability of our products as compared with conventional and alternative energy products;
  • success of alternative distributed generation technologies such as hydrogen fuel cells, wind turbines, bio-diesel generators and solar thermal technologies;
  • public concern regarding energy security, the potential risks associated with global warming, the environmental and social impacts of fossil fuel extraction and use;
  • fluctuations in economic and market conditions that impact the viability of conventional and competitive alternative energy sources;
  • increases or decreases in the prices of oil, coal and natural gas;
  • capital expenditures by customers, which tend to decrease when the domestic or foreign economies slow;
  • continued deregulation of the electric power industry and broader energy industry; and
  • availability of government subsidies and incentives.

     Technological changes could render our products uncompetitive or obsolete, which could prevent us from achieving market share and sales.

     Our failure to refine our technologies and to develop and introduce new products could cause our products to become uncompetitive or obsolete, which could prevent us from achieving market share and sales. The alternative energy industry is rapidly evolving and highly competitive. We will need to

 

13



invest significant financial resources in research and development to keep pace with technological advances in the industry and to compete in the future and we may be unable to secure such financing. We believe that a variety of competing solar and alternative energy technologies may be under development by other companies that could result in lower manufacturing costs or higher product performance than those expected for our products. Our development efforts may be rendered obsolete by the technological advances of others, and other technologies may prove more advantageous for the commercialization of products.

     Any products developed from our SolarWindow™ Technology will face competition from other companies producing solar power products. If we fail to compete effectively, we may be unable to increase our market share and sales.

     The solar power market is intensely competitive and rapidly evolving. Our competitors are better capitalized, have established market positions more prominent than ours, and if we fail to attract and retain customers and establish a successful distribution network for our solar products, we may be unable to achieve adequate sales and market share. There are a number of major multi-national corporations that produce solar power products, which may be competitive with those which we are seeking to develop, including BP Solar, Kyocera, Sharp, GE, Mitsubishi, Solar World AG and Sanyo. We also expect that future competition will include new entrants to the solar power market offering new technological solutions. Further, many of our competitors are developing and are currently producing products based on new solar power technologies that may have costs similar to, or lower than, our projected costs.

     Most of our competitors are substantially larger than we are, have longer operating histories, and have substantially greater financial, technical, manufacturing and other resources than we do. Our competitors’ greater sizes in some cases provides them with competitive advantages with respect to manufacturing costs due to their ability to allocate fixed costs across a greater volume of production and purchase raw materials at lower prices. Many also have far greater name recognition, an established distribution network and an installed base of customers. In addition, many of our competitors have well-established relationships with current and potential resellers, which have extensive knowledge of our target markets. As a result, our competitors will be able to devote greater resources to research, development, promotion and sale of their products and may be able to respond more quickly to evolving industry standards and changing customer requirements than we can.

     Our success will be dependent upon our ability to develop products that are superior to existing products and products introduced in the future, and which are cost effective. In addition, we may be required to continually enhance any products that are developed as well as introduce new products that keep pace with technological change and address the increasingly sophisticated needs of the marketplace. There can be no assurance that we will be able to keep pace with the technological demands of the marketplace or successfully develop products that will succeed in the marketplace.

RISKS PARTICULAR TO THE MARKET FOR OUR COMMON STOCK

     The value and transferability of your shares may be adversely impacted by the limited trading market for our stock on the OTCBB, which is a quotation system, not an issuer listing service, market or exchange. Because buying and selling stock on the OTCBB is not as efficient as buying and selling stock through an exchange, it may be difficult for you to sell your shares or you may not be able to sell your shares for an optimum trading price.

     The OTCBB 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 OTCBB involve

 

14



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 OTCBB, 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 OTCBB at the time of the order entry.

     Orders for OTCBB 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 OTCBB. 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 OTCBB if the common stock or other security must be sold immediately. Further, purchasers of securities OTCBB may not have a bid price for securities bought and sold through the OTCBB. Due to the foregoing, demand for securities that are traded through the OTCBB may be decreased or eliminated.

We may compete for the time and efforts of our officers and directors.

     Certain of our officers and directors are also officers, directors, and employees of other companies, and we may have to compete with the other companies for their time, attention and efforts; except for Mr. Meetesh V. Patel who devotes substantially all of his time and attention to our affairs, none of our officers and directors anticipate devoting more than approximately five (5%) percent of their time to our matters. Although we have an employment agreement with Mr. Patel, it may be terminated by either party upon notice to the other.

     Our proposed businesses raise potential conflicts of interests between certain of our officers and directors and us.

     Certain of our directors are or may become directors and employees of other technology companies and, to the extent that such other companies may participate in ventures in which we may participate, our directors may have a conflict of interest in negotiating and concluding terms regarding the extent of such participation by us and such other companies. In addition, directors may present potential prospects to such other companies rather than presenting the opportunities to us or be affiliated with companies developing technologies which may compete with our technologies. We have not established any mechanisms regarding the resolution of any such conflict if it were to arise; accordingly, there is no assurance that any such conflict will be resolved in a manner that would not be adverse to our interest.

     The trading price of our common stock historically has been volatile and may not reflect its value.

     The trading price of our common stock has, from time to time, fluctuated widely and in the future may be subject to similar fluctuations. The trading price may be affected by a number of factors

 

15



including the risk factors set forth herein, as well as our operating results, financial condition, general economic conditions, market demand for our common stock, and various other events or factors both in and out of our control. In addition, the sale of our common stock into the public market upon the effectiveness of this registration statement could put downward pressure on the trading price of our common stock. In recent years, broad stock market indices, in general, and smaller capitalization companies, in particular, have experienced substantial price fluctuations. In a volatile market, we may experience wide fluctuations in the market price of our common stock. These fluctuations may have a negative effect on the market price of our common stock.

     Because of the concentration of ownership of our issued and outstanding stock, a few of our shareholders are able to substantially influence all matters requiring approval by our stockholders, including the election of directors.

     As of September 30, 2009, an aggregate of 34,749,600 shares, constituting approximately 59% of our outstanding common stock was owned by 5 stockholders. Accordingly, those stockholders may be able to substantially influence virtually all matters requiring approval by our stockholders, including the election of directors. Our Articles of Incorporation do not provide for cumulative voting in the election of directors and, therefore, although they are able to vote, our other stockholders should not expect to be able to elect any directors to our board of directors.

     1420525 Alberta Ltd., a private corporation solely owned by Mr. Harmel Rayat, our former chief financial officer, director and controlling shareholder, owns approximately 43% of our issued and outstanding stock. This ownership interest may preclude you from influencing significant corporate decisions.

     As of September 30, 2009, 1420525 Alberta Ltd., a private corporation, of which Harmel S. Rayat, our former chief financial officer, director and controlling shareholder is the sole shareholder, owns in the aggregate, 25,099,600 shares or approximately 43% of our outstanding common stock. As a result, Mr. Rayat may be able to exercise a controlling influence over matters requiring shareholder approval, including the election of directors and approval of significant corporate transactions, and will have significant control over our management and policies through his ownership in 1420525 Alberta Ltd. Mr. Rayat’s interests may at times be different from yours. For example, he may support proposals and actions with which you may disagree or which are not in your interests. The concentration of ownership could delay or prevent a change in control of our company or otherwise discourage a potential acquirer from attempting to obtain control of our company, which in turn could reduce the price of our common stock. In addition, Mr. Rayat could use his voting influence to maintain our existing management and directors in office, delay or prevent changes of control of our company, or support or reject other management and board proposals that are subject to shareholder approval, such as amendments to our employee stock plans and approvals of significant financing transactions.

     We have a large number of restricted shares outstanding, a portion of which may be sold under rule 144 which may reduce the market price of our shares.

     Of the 58,600,600 shares of our common stock issued and outstanding at September 30, 2009, 36,749,600 shares are deemed "restricted securities," within the meaning of Rule 144. Absent registration under the Securities Act, the sale of such shares is subject to Rule 144, as promulgated under the Securities Act.

     In general, subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions, Rule 144 permits a person who presently is not and who has not been an affiliate of ours for at least three months immediately

 

16



preceding the sale and who has beneficially owned the shares of common stock for at least six months to sell such shares without regard to any of the volume limitations described above.

     Under Rule 144, subject to the satisfaction of certain other conditions, a person deemed to be one of our affiliates, who has beneficially owned restricted shares of our common stock for at least one year is permitted to sell in a brokerage transaction, within any three-month period, a number of shares that does not exceed the greater of 1% of the total number of outstanding shares of the same class, or, if our common stock is quoted on a stock exchange, the average weekly trading volume during the four calendar weeks preceding the sale, if greater. The possibility that substantial amounts of our common stock may be sold under Rule 144 into the public market may adversely affect prevailing market prices for the common stock and could impair our ability to raise capital in the future through the sale of equity securities.

     There are options and warrants to purchase shares of our common stock currently outstanding.

     We have granted options and warrants to purchase shares of our common stock to various persons and entities, of which an aggregate of 5,438,500 are outstanding at September 30, 2009. The exercise prices on these options and warrants are as follows:

3,188,500  Series F Warrants at $1.25 per share 
100,000  Series E Warrants at $0.60 per share 
2,000,000  Stock options at $0.52 per share 
100,000  Stock options at $0.85 per share 
50,000  Stock options at $1.66 per share 

     If issued, the shares underlying these options and warrants would increase the number of shares of our common stock currently outstanding and will dilute the holdings and voting rights of our then-existing shareholders.

     We have the ability to issue additional shares of our common stock without asking for shareholder approval, which could cause your investment to be diluted.

     Our articles of incorporation authorize the Board of Directors to issue up to 100,000,000 shares of common stock and up to 1,000,000 shares of preferred stock. The power of the Board of Directors to issue shares of common stock or warrants or options to purchase shares of common stock is generally not subject to shareholder approval. Accordingly, any time the Board of Directors determines that it is in the best interests of the corporation to issue shares of its common stock, your investment will be diluted.

We may issue preferred stock which may have greater rights than our common stock.

     We are permitted in our charter to issue up to 1,000,000 shares of preferred stock. Currently no preferred shares are issued and outstanding; however, we can issue shares of our preferred stock in one or more series and can set the terms of the preferred stock without seeking any further approval from our common stockholders. Any preferred stock that we issue may rank ahead of our common stock in terms of dividend priority or liquidation premiums and may have greater voting rights than our common stock. In addition, such preferred stock may contain provisions allowing them to be converted into shares of common stock, which could dilute the value of common stock to current stockholders and could adversely affect the market price, if any, of our common stock.

 

17



     Our compliance with changing laws and rules regarding corporate governance and public disclosure may result in additional expenses to us which, in turn, may adversely affect our ability to continue our operations.

     Keeping abreast of, and in compliance with, changing laws, regulations and standards relating to corporate governance and public disclosure, including the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, new SEC regulations and, in the event we are ever approved for listing on either NASDAQ or a registered exchange, NASDAQ and stock exchange rules, will require an increased amount of management attention and external resources. We intend to continue to invest all reasonably necessary resources to comply with evolving standards, which may result in increased general and administrative expenses and a diversion of management time and attention from revenue-generating activities to compliance activities. This could have an adverse impact on our ongoing operations.

     Our common stock is a "penny stock," and because "penny stock” rules will apply, you may find it difficult to sell the shares of our common stock you acquired in this offering.

     Our common stock is a “penny stock” as that term is defined under Rule 3a51-1 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Generally, a "penny stock" is a common stock that is not listed on a securities exchange and trades for less than $5.00 a share. Prices often are not available to buyers and sellers and the market may be very limited. Penny stocks in start-up companies are among the riskiest equity investments. Broker-dealers who sell penny stocks must provide purchasers of these stocks with a standardized risk-disclosure document prepared by the U.S. Securities & Exchange Commission. The document provides information about penny stocks and the nature and level of risks involved in investing in the penny stock market. A broker must also give a purchaser, orally or in writing, bid and offer quotations and information regarding broker and salesperson compensation, make a written determination that the penny stock is a suitable investment for the purchaser, and obtain the purchaser's written agreement to the purchase. Many brokers choose not to participate in penny stock transactions. Because of the penny stock rules, there is less trading activity in penny stocks and you are likely to have difficulty selling your shares.

We do not intend to pay dividends for the foreseeable future.

     We currently intend to retain future earnings, if any, to support the development and expansion of our business and do not anticipate paying cash dividends in the foreseeable future. Our payment of any future dividends will be at the discretion of our board of directors after taking into account various factors, including but not limited to our financial condition, operating results, cash needs, growth plans and the terms of any credit agreements that we may be a party to at the time. Accordingly, investors must rely on sales of their common stock after price appreciation, which may never occur, as the only way to realize their investment. Investors seeking cash dividends should not purchase the shares offered by us pursuant to this Prospectus.

If one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize, or if the underlying assumptions prove incorrect, our actual results may vary materially from those expected or projected. We will have little likelihood of long-term success unless we are able to continue to raise capital from the sale of our securities until, if ever, we generate positive cash flow from operations.

USE OF PROCEEDS

     This Prospectus relates to the resale of certain shares of our common stock that may be offered and sold from time to time by the Selling Stockholders. This Prospectus also relates to shares of our common stock to be issued to persons who exercise stock options. We will not receive any proceeds from the sale of shares of common stock in this offering. However, we will receive proceeds from the exercise of any stock options and we will use any such proceeds for working capital purposes.

 

19



DETERMINATION OF OFFERING PRICE

     The Selling Stockholders will determine at what price they may sell the offered shares, and such sales may be made at prevailing market prices, or at privately negotiated prices. Please refer to “PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION.”

MARKET PRICE OF AND DIVIDENDS ON OUR COMMON STOCK AND RELATED STOCKHOLDER MATTERS

Our common stock is quoted on the OTCBB under the symbol “NENE.”

     As of September 30, 2009, there were 58,600,600 shares of our common stock outstanding and held by 46 stockholders of record. As of September 30, 2009, we had 3,288,500 shares of common stock reserved for issuance upon exercise of outstanding warrants and 2,150,000 reserved for issuance upon exercise of outstanding options. We have no shares of preferred stock issued and outstanding.

On September 17, 2009, the closing price of our common stock was $1.12.

Dividends

     We have not paid any dividends on our common stock and our board of directors presently intends to continue a policy of retaining earnings, if any, for use in our operations. The declaration and payment of dividends in the future, of which there can be no assurance, will be determined by the board of directors in light of conditions then existing, including earnings, financial condition, capital requirements and other factors. The Nevada Revised Statutes prohibit us from declaring dividends where, if after giving effect to the distribution of the dividend:

 

20



  • We would not be able to pay our debts as they become due in the usual course of business; or
  • Our total assets would be less than the sum of our total liabilities plus the amount that would be needed to satisfy the rights of stockholders who have preferential rights superior to those receiving the distribution.

     Except as set forth above, there are no restrictions that currently materially limit our ability to pay dividends or which we reasonably believe are likely to limit materially the future payment of dividends on common stock.

Transfer Agent

     The transfer agent of our common stock is Holladay Stock Transfer, Inc., 2939 North 67th Place, Scottsdale, Arizona 85251.

Penny Stock

     The Securities and Exchange Commission has adopted rules that regulate broker-dealer practices in connection with transactions in penny stocks. Our stock is currently a “penny stock.” Penny stocks are generally equity securities with a price of less than $5.00, other than securities registered on certain national securities exchanges or quoted on the Nasdaq system, provided that current price and volume information with respect to transactions in such securities is provided by the exchange or system. The penny stock rules require a broker-dealer, prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from those rules, deliver a standardized risk disclosure document prepared by the Commission, which: (a) contains a description of the nature and level of risk in the market for penny stocks in both public offerings and secondary trading; (b) contains a description of the broker’s or dealer’s duties to the customer and of the rights and remedies available to the customer with respect to a violation to such duties or other requirements of Securities’ laws; (c) contains a brief, clear, narrative description of a dealer market, including bid and ask prices for penny stocks and significance of the spread between the bid and ask price; (d) contains a toll-free telephone number for inquiries on disciplinary actions; (e) defines significant terms in the disclosure document or in the conduct of trading in penny stocks; and (f) contains such other information and is in such form as the Commission shall require by rule or regulation. The broker-dealer also must provide to the customer, prior to effecting any transaction in a penny stock, (a) bid and offer quotations for the penny stock; (b) the compensation of the broker-dealer and its salesperson in the transaction; (c) the number of shares to which such bid and ask prices apply, or other comparable information relating to the depth and liquidity of the market for such stock; and (d) monthly account statements showing the market value of each penny stock held in the customer’s account. In addition, the penny stock rules require that prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from those rules, the broker-dealer must make a special written determination that the penny stock is a suitable investment for the purchaser and receive the purchaser’s written acknowledgment of the receipt of a risk disclosure statement, a written agreement to transactions involving penny stocks, and a signed and dated copy of a written suitably statement.

     These disclosure requirements may have the effect of reducing the trading activity in the secondary market for our stock if it becomes subject to these penny stock rules.

Rule 144

     Of the 58,600,600 shares of our common stock issued and outstanding at August 31, 2009, 36,749,600 shares are deemed "restricted securities," within the meaning of Rule 144; of these restricted shares, 25,099,600 are owned by 1420525 Alberta Ltd., a private corporation the sole shareholder of which is Harmel S. Rayat, our former chief financial officer, director and controlling shareholder. Absent registration under the Securities Act, the sale of such shares is subject to Rule 144, as promulgated under the Securities Act.

     In general, under Rule 144, subject to the satisfaction of certain other conditions, a person deemed to be one of our affiliates, who has beneficially owned restricted shares of our common stock for at least one year is permitted to sell in a brokerage transaction, within any three-month period, a number of shares that does not exceed the greater of 1% of the total number of outstanding shares of the same class, or, if our common stock is quoted on a stock exchange, the average weekly trading volume during the four calendar weeks preceding the sale, if greater. This provision currently applies to the shares owned by Mr. Rayat.

     Rule 144 also permits a person who presently is not and who has not been an affiliate of ours for at least three months immediately preceding the sale and who has beneficially owned the shares of common stock for at least six months to sell such shares without restriction other than the requirement that there be current public information as set forth in Rule 144. To the extent that Rule 144 is otherwise available, this provision is currently applicable to all of the restricted shares. If a non-affiliate has held the shares for more than one year, such person may make unlimited sales pursuant to Rule 144 without restriction.

     The possibility that substantial amounts of our common stock may be sold under Rule 144 into the public market may adversely affect prevailing market prices for the common stock and could impair our ability to raise capital in the future through the sale of equity securities. Please refer to “RISK FACTORS.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF

FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

     The following information should be read in conjunction with our May 31, 2009 consolidated financial statements and related notes thereto and with our consolidated financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended August 31, 2008 included in this Prospectus. We also urge you to review and consider our disclosures describing various risks that may affect our business, which are set forth under the heading “RISK FACTORS.”

Overview

     We were incorporated in the State of Nevada on May 5, 1998, under the name “Octillion Corp.” On December 2, 2008, the Company amended its Articles of Incorporation to effect a change of name to New Energy Technologies, Inc. The consolidated financial statements in this Prospectus include our accounts and those of our wholly-owned subsidiaries, Sungen Energy, Inc. (“Sungen”), Kinetic Energy Corporation (“KEC”), Octillion Technologies Limited (“Octillion Technologies”) and New Energy Solar Corporation (“New Energy Solar”).

     Sungen was incorporated on July 11, 2006 in the State of Nevada and has no assets and no liabilities.

     KEC was incorporated on June 19, 2008 in the State of Nevada and has no assets and no liabilities.

     Octillion Technologies was incorporated on April 11, 2007 in the Province of British Columbia, Canada for providing administrative services to the Canadian office. We ceased to conduct business in Canada on August 31, 2008 and closed this office. As a result, we dissolved Octillion Technologies and eliminated all intercompany balances, effective December 1, 2008.

     New Energy Solar was incorporated on February 9, 2009 in the State of Florida and has no assets and no liabilities.

     Our research and development activities include the development of a technology to adapt home and office glass windows, skylights, and building facades into products capable of generating electricity from solar energy without losing significant transparency or requiring major changes in manufacturing infrastructure, and technologies to harness the kinetic energy of vehicles to generate electricity.

Photovoltaic Technologies

USF Sponsored Research Agreement and Option Agreement

     On May 20, 2009, our wholly-owned subsidiary, New Energy Solar, entered into the USF Sponsored Research Agreement with USF, for support to the project entitled “Semitransparent Flexible Power Foil (SFPF)” relating to the development of a prototype flexible semi-transparent organic power foil (1ft by 1ft dimension) for an energy-generating window glass in building-integrated photovoltaic products which we refer to in this Prospectus as the “SolarWindow™ Technology”. Pursuant to Rule 24b-2 we submitted a request for confidential treatment of certain portions of the USF Sponsored Research Agreement, relating to the payment terms, scope of work under the USF Sponsored Research

 

23



Agreement; our request was granted on June 11, 2009. Accordingly, these terms of the USF Sponsored Research Agreement have not been disclosed.

     On May 20, 2009, our wholly-owned subsidiary, New Energy Solar, also entered into an Option Agreement (the “USF Option Agreement”) with the University of South Florida Research Foundation, Inc., a corporation not for profit under Chapter 617 Florida Statutes, and a direct support organization of USF, pursuant to which New Energy Solar has the right to an exclusive option to obtain an exclusive worldwide commercial license under certain patents relating to the USF Technology. Pursuant to Rule 24b-2 we submitted a request for confidential treatment of certain portions of the USF Option Agreement, relating to the payment terms, scope of work under the USF Option Agreement; our request was granted on June 11, 2009. Accordingly, these terms of the USF Option Agreement have not been disclosed.

UIUC Sponsored Research Agreement

     On August 25, 2006, our wholly owned subsidiary, Sungen, entered into a Sponsored Research Agreement (“UIUC Sponsored Research Agreement”) with the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign (“UIUC”) for the development of a new patent-pending technology to integrate films of silicon nanoparticle material on glass substrates, acting as photovoltaic solar cells that have the potential to convert normal home and office glass windows into ones capable of converting solar energy into electricity, with limited loss of transparency and minimal changes in manufacturing infrastructure (the “UIUC Silicon Nanoparticle Energy Technology”). On July 23, 2007, Sungen, amended its Sponsored Research Agreement with UIUC. Pursuant to this amended Sponsored Research Agreement, we agreed to provide an additional $203,617 to the previously awarded amount of $219,201 for a total of $422,818, to the University of Illinois in order to accelerate the development of films of silicon nanoparticle material composed of nanosilicon photovoltaic solar cells that have the potential to convert solar radiation to electrical energy.

     The UIUC Sponsored Research Agreement expired on August 22, 2008. As of this date, we had advanced a total of $266,709 to the University of Illinois pursuant to the terms of the UIUC Sponsored Research Agreement. Pursuant to the terms of the UIUC Sponsored Research Agreement, we were to advance an additional $156,109 to the University of Illinois, which is included in other accrued liabilities at May 31, 2009. However, we have not made the advance pending determination as to whether funds previously paid to UIUC under the terms of the UIUC Sponsored Research Agreement have been fully expended. We are of the opinion that to the extent these funds were not expended they should be refunded to us.

     During the three and nine months ended May 31, 2009 we did not record any research and development expense pursuant to the UIUC Sponsored Research Agreement. During the three and nine months ended May 31, 2008 we recorded $78,054 and $234,163 as research and development expense pursuant to the UIUC Sponsored Research Agreement. During the period from inception (May 5, 1998) to May 31, 2009, we recorded $422,818 as research and development expense pursuant to the UIUC Sponsored Research Agreement.

Oakland Sponsored Research Agreement

     On August 18, 2008, we entered into a two-year Sponsored Research Agreement (“Oakland Sponsored Research Agreement”) with scientists at Oakland University to further the development of the Company’s photovoltaic technology. Pursuant to the terms of the Oakland Sponsored Research Agreement we agreed to advance a total of $348,066 to fund the research and development activities of which $140,519 was payable on or before September 1, 2008, $127,547 was payable on or before

 

24



October 1, 2009 and $80,000 was payable on demand during the contract period for reimbursement of materials provided by Oakland University. In February 2009, in order to preserve our working capital, we decided that it was in our best interest not to proceed forward with the Oakland Sponsored Research Agreement and exercised its right pursuant to Section 9.3 of the Oakland Sponsored Research Agreement, and provided written notice to Oakland University to terminate the Oakland Sponsored Research Agreement. As of the termination date of the Oakland Sponsored Research Agreement, $20,220 of the $140,519 initially advanced to Oakland University had been expended and is included in research and development expense for the nine months ended May 31, 2009. The remaining $120,299 was refunded to us in April 2009.

Energy Harvesting Technologies

VERYST Agreement

     On November 4, 2008, our wholly-owned subsidiary, KEC, entered into an agreement with VERYST Engineering LLC (the “Veryst Agreement”) relating to the development of technologies for generating electricity from the motion of cars and trucks. The Veryst Agreement continues until terminated by either Veryst Engineering LLC or Kinetic Energy. Pursuant to a CT ORDER filed with the SEC, payment terms, scope of work and the terms of the license agreement pursuant to the Veryst Agreement have not been disclosed.

V2G Letter of Intent

     On December 4, 2008, our wholly-owned subsidiary, KEC, entered into a Letter of Intent with V2G Enterprises, LLC (the “V2G Letter of Intent”) to provide development services to produce a roadway embedded kinetic power capture device that harvests energy from vehicles and converts the harvested kinetic energy into useable electricity.

Investor Relations

     Investor relations costs represent fees paid to publicize the Company’s technology within the investor community with the purposes of increasing company recognition and branding, and to facilitate the efforts to raise funds in equity or debt financings.

     The decrease in investor relations is due to our focusing on fund raising efforts during the three and nine months ended May 31, 2008 compared to the three and nine months ended May 31, 2009, which required increased company branding and information distribution. The fund raising efforts during the prior year is evidenced by the consummation of the sale of an aggregate of 3,675,000 shares of our common stock and Class F Callable Warrants to purchase up to an additional 3,675,000 share of our common stock for aggregate proceeds of $3,675,000 pursuant to a Securities Purchase Agreement dated February 8, 2008. Subsequent to the closing of the Securities Purchase Agreement in February 2008 and until October 1, 2008, we continued to use an investor relations firm to publicize our technology within the investor community and market place.

     Effective October 1, 2008, we entered into a one-year Market Access Services Agreement (the “Market Agreement”) with the same investor relations firm that we had previously been utilizing to publicize our technology and increase company recognition and branding. In accordance with the terms of the Market Agreement, we pay $1,900 per month for investor and public relations, corporate branding and corporate image services.

     Effective April 15, 2009, we entered into a one-year Shareholder Communication Services Agreement (the “Shareholder Communications Agreement”) with a third party consultant to provide shareholder communication and related administrative services. In accordance with the terms of the Shareholder Communications Agreement, we pay the third party consultant $1,250 per month.

26



Wages and benefits

     On October 15, 2008, Mr. Nicholas Cucinelli resigned as our President and Chief Executive Officer. As a result, the stock option granted him on February 15, 2008 to purchase 1,250,000 shares of common stock was forfeited pursuant to the terms of an Employment Termination Agreement between us and Mr. Cucinelli. As a result of Mr. Cucinelli’s resignation, stock option compensation expense of $3,573,778 recorded in fiscal year 2008 for Mr. Cucinelli’s stock option was reversed during the quarter ended November 30, 2008 and is included in wages and benefits for the nine months ended May 31, 2009. Pursuant to the terms of Mr. Cucinelli’s Employment Termination Agreement, he also received $50,000 severance, which is included in wages and benefits for the nine months ended May 31, 2009.

     In contrast, during the three and nine months ended May 31, 2008, stock compensation expense of $894,417 and $2,669,882 was recorded in connection with Mr. Cucinelli’s stock option grant.

     Upon Mr. Cucinelli’s resignation, on October 15, 2008, the Company simultaneously appointed Mr. Meetesh Patel as our President, Chief Executive Officer and Director. During the three and nine months ended May 31, 2009, we incurred $40,369 and $108,359 in cash wages and benefits expense for services rendered by Mr. Patel.

Management fees – related party

     During the three and nine months ended May 31, 2009, we incurred $0 and $4,472 for services rendered by Mr. Frank Fabio, our former consultant Chief Financial Officer (the “CFO”). Mr. Fabio resigned as CFO, effective January 9, 2009.

     On September 12, 2008, we granted a stock option to our then CFO to purchase, subject to applicable vesting provisions, 50,000 shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $0.78 per share. The stock option vests in five equal annual installments of 10,000 options each, commencing on September 12, 2009, and annually thereafter. The stock option is further subject to the terms and conditions of the stock option agreement between the CFO and us. Under the terms of the stock option agreement, the stock option agreement will terminate and there will be no further vesting of stock options effective as of the date that the CFO ceases to serve as a consultant to the Company. Upon termination of such service, the CFO will have a specified period of time to exercise vested stock options, if any. The fair value of the 50,000 stock options granted was estimated at $0.71 each, for a total of $35,500. As a result of Mr. Fabio’s resignation on January 9, 2009, the stock option granted to Mr. Fabio to purchase 50,000 shares of common stock was all forfeited upon his resignation. Accordingly, stock option compensation expense of $4,053 recorded during the quarter ended November 30, 2008 for Mr. Fabio’s stock option was reversed during the quarter ended February 28, 2009 and is included in management fees – related party for the nine months ended May 31, 2009.

Professional fees

     Professional fees primarily consist of accounting, audit, and tax fees, legal fees and non-employee Board fees. Professional fees increased partially as a result of our closing our administrative office in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, effective August 31, 2008, terminating all of the employees in Vancouver, Canada. Due to this downsizing, as of September 1, 2008,we began outsourcing its accounting function to third parties resulting in an increase in accounting, audit and tax fees of approximately $39,000 during the nine months ended May 31, 2009 as compared to the same

 

27



period of the prior year. Accounting, audit and tax fees decreased approximately $2,500 for the three months ended May 31, 2009 as compared to the same period of the prior year.

     Legal fees increased approximately $10,000 during the three months ended May 31, 2009 as compared to the same period in prior year primarily due to our utilizing legal counsel to review new research and development and consulting agreements that were entered into during the quarter ended May 31, 2009.

     Legal fees decreased approximately $6,300 during the nine months ended May 31, 2009 as compared to the same period in prior year due to our undergoing fund raising efforts which resulted in our raising aggregate proceeds of $3,675,000 pursuant to a Securities Purchase Agreement dated February 8, 2008.

     Non-employee Board fees increased approximately $8,000 and $42,000 during the three and nine months ended May 31, 2009 as compared to the same periods of the prior year. Accounting for approximately $19,000 of the increase during the nine months ended May 31, 2009 compared to the same period in 2008 is attributable to stock compensation expense related to the grant of stock options previously granted to non-employee board members.

     Non-employee Board members receive $2,500 per quarter for services rendered in the capacity of a Board member. During the three and nine months ended May 31, 2009, we incurred $7,500 and $23,333 for services rendered by non-employee directors of the Company. We did not incur any cash fees payable to non-employee Board members during the three and nine months ended May 31, 2008.

Research and development

     Research and development costs represent costs incurred to develop our technologies and are incurred pursuant to the sponsored research agreements with UIUC, Oakland University and USF, a development agreement with VERYST Engineering LLC, a letter of intent with V2G Enterprises, LLC and a consulting agreement with Sigma Design. These agreements include salaries and benefits for research and development personnel, allocated overhead and facility occupancy costs, contract services and other costs. We charge all research and development expenses to operations as they are incurred, except for prepayments, which are capitalized and amortized over the applicable period.

     Research and development expense for the three and nine months ended May 31, 2009 consists substantially of costs incurred pursuant to the Veryst Agreement, V2G Letter of Intent, Sigma Design Agreement, and the Oakland Sponsored Research Agreements. Research and development expense for the three and nine months ended May 31, 2008 consists substantially of costs incurred pursuant to the UIUC Sponsored Research Agreement.

Travel and entertainment

     Travel and entertainment decreased during the three and nine months ended May 31, 2009 as compared to the same periods of the prior year primarily as a result of our closing our administrative office in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, effective August 31, 2008, terminating all of the employees in Vancouver, Canada.

Other operating expenses

     Other operating expenses includes rent, marketing, utilities, office supplies, information technology related fees and other administrative costs.

 

28



     Other operating expenses increased during the three months ended May 31, 2009 as compared to the same period of the prior year primarily due to an increase in marketing and press releases of approximately $18,000. During the three months ended May 31, 2009, we announced that we are expanding our product range of MotionPower technologies for harvesting the kinetic energy of moving vehicles to generate electricity. Additionally, we have outsourced the enhancement of our website to display the advancement in this technology. Offsetting the increase in marketing and press releases is a decrease in rent expense of approximately $10,200 as the result of our closing its administrative office in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, effective August 31, 2008. Rent for the Vancouver, Canada administrative office was CAD$3,200 per month.

     Other operating expenses decreased during the nine months ended May 31, 2009 as compared to the same period of the prior year primarily as a result of closing our administrative office in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, effective August 31, 2008. Rent and office supply expense related to the Vancouver office decreased by approximately $31,400 and $18,500, respectively. Offsetting these decreases is an increase in marketing and press releases of approximately $13,000 for the reasons described in the previous paragraph.

Interest income

     Interest income decreased during the three and nine months ended May 31, 2009 as compared to the same periods in the prior year primarily due to the closing of the administrative office in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada. As of December 31, 2008, we transferred all of the funds in its interest bearing cash account maintained at a Canadian owned financial institution to non-interest bearing bank accounts at U.S. financial institutions.

Gain on dissolution of foreign subsidiary

     Octillion Technologies provided administrative services to our Canadian office. We ceased to conduct business in Canada, effective August 31, 2008 and closed this office. As a result, the Company dissolved Octillion Technologies and eliminated all intercompany balances. In accordance with SFAS No. 52, “Foreign Currency Translation”, we recorded a gain on its investment in Octillion Technologies equal to the accumulated other comprehensive income at December 1, 2008, the time of the dissolution.

 

29



Foreign exchange loss

     We translate assets and liabilities of its foreign subsidiaries, other than those denominated in United States Dollars, at the rate of exchange at the balance sheet date. The foreign exchange loss during the nine months ended May 31, 2009 is substantially the result of cash infusions made from New Energy Technologies to the Company’s former foreign subsidiary, Octillion Technologies (denominated in Canadian dollars), thereby increasing the intercompany payable on Octillion Technologies’ balance sheet. As noted above, Octillion Technologies was dissolved, effective December 1, 2008.

Fiscal Year Ended August 31, 2008 Versus Fiscal Year Ended August 31, 2007

Results of Operations

Revenues:

We did not generate any revenue during the years ended August 31, 2008 and 2007.

Expenses:

     Operating expenses were $5,748,009 during the year ended August 31, 2008, and increase of $4,275,399 from $1,472,610 during the year ended August 31, 2007. The increase is substantially attributable to an increase of $3,600,303 in stock based compensation expense as a result of 1,500,000 stock options granted to Mr. Nicholas Cucinelli in September 2007 (which were subsequently cancelled in February 2008 and 1,250,000 stock options were simultaneously issued) and 100,000 stock options granted to certain Board members in March 2008. In addition, wages and benefits increased $230,943 from the year ended August 31, 2007 as compared to the year ended August 31, 2008 as a result our adding an administrative support office in Vancouver, B.C. and appointing Mr. Nicholas Cucinelli to the positions of President and Chief Executive Officer in September 2007. Please also refer to “EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION.” Research and development expense increased $61,617 as a result of the continued research under the UIUC Sponsored Research Agreement.

Other income and expense:

     Interest income was $53,668 for the year ended August 31, 2008, an increase of $24,199 or 82%, from $29,469 during the year ended August 31, 2007. The increase is the result of higher average cash balances maintained during the year ended August 31, 2008, primarily as a result of the proceeds received pursuant to the terms of a Securities Purchase Agreement (as defined below). Pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement, we received gross proceeds of $3,675,000 for the sale of an aggregate of 3,675,000 shares of its common stock and Class F Callable Warrants to purchase up to an additional 3,675,000 shares of our common stock.

     We recorded a loss on disposal of fixed assets of $5,307 during the year ended August 31, 2008 as a result of the removal of the cost and related accumulated depreciation from our financial statements for equipment that was either no longer in service or deemed obsolete. Substantially all of this equipment was located at our administrative office in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, which, effective September 31, 2008, was closed.

     Foreign exchange loss for the year ended August 31, 2008 was $21,381 compared to a foreign exchange loss of $2,793 for the year ended August 31, 2007. We translate foreign assets and liabilities of its subsidiaries, other than those denominated in United States Dollars, at the rate of exchange at the

 

30



balance sheet date. The increase in foreign exchange loss of $18,588 is primarily the result of the increase in the intercompany payable of our foreign subsidiary (denominated in Canadian dollars) to us from $82,198 at August 31, 2007 to $297,360 at August 31, 2008.

Payable forgiven:

     Our former president released us from our commitment to pay the management fee payable of $30,000, which was included in accounts payable, and was due for the services rendered by the former president in fiscal year 2003. As a result, we wrote off the management fee payable included in accounts payable during the year ended August 31, 2007.

     We incurred net losses of $5,721,545 and $1,442,769 during the years ended August 31, 2008 and 2007.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

     The financial statements included in this Prospectus have been prepared assuming we will continue as a going concern. We incurred cumulative losses of $4,887,508 through May 31, 2009. Due to the "start up" nature of our business, we expect to incur losses as it continues development of its photovoltaic and energy harvesting technologies and expands. These conditions raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. Management recognizes that in order to meet our capital requirements, and continue to operate, additional financing will be necessary. We expect to raise additional funds through private or public equity investment in order to expand the range and scope of its business operations. We will seek access to private or public equity but there is no assurance that such additional funds will be available us to finance our operations on acceptable terms, if at all. If we are unable to raise additional capital or generate positive cash flow, it is unlikely that we will be able to continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

     Our principal source of liquidity is cash in the bank. At May 31, 2009, we had cash and cash equivalents balance of $2,405,728. We have financed our operations primarily pursuant to a Securities Purchase Agreement in which we received net proceeds of $3,395,955 in February 2008 and from the exercise of warrants.

     Net cash used in operating activities was $575,589 for the nine months ended May 31, 2009, compared to net cash used of $1,585,170 for the same period in 2008. The decrease in cash used of $1,009,581 primarily reflects decreases in investor relations expense of $960,033 and research and development of $59,719.

     Net cash used in investing activities was $0 for the nine months ended May 31, 2009, compared to net cash used of $6,144 during the same period in 2008. During the nine months ended May 31, 2008, we purchased $6,144 of equipment, all of which was for use by the administrative office in Vancouver, B.C. and subsequently disposed of on August 31, 2008.

     Net cash provided by financing activities was $0 for the nine months ended May 31, 2009 compared to net cash provided by of $3,635,705 for the same period in 2008. In February 2008, we received net proceeds of $3,395,955 pursuant to a Securities Purchase Agreement. During March, April and May 2008, we received $239,750 from the exercise of Class C, Class D, and Class F warrants.

     We believe that our available funds will be sufficient to fund our operations at least through August 31, 2010. However, this is a forward-looking statement, and there may be changes that would

31



consume available resources significantly before such time. Our long-term capital requirements and the adequacy of our available funds will depend upon many factors, including:

  • the progress of our research, and development programs;
  • changes in existing collaborative relationships;
  • our ability to establish additional collaborative relationships;
  • the magnitude of our research and development programs;
  • competitive and technological advances;
  • the time and costs involved in obtaining regulatory approvals;
  • the costs involved in preparing, filing, prosecuting, maintaining and enforcing patent claims;
  • our dependence on others for development and commercialization of our product candidates, and
  • successful commercialization of our products consistent with our licensing strategy.

     Additional funding, whether through additional sales of securities or collaborative or other arrangements with corporate partners or from other sources, may not be available when needed or on terms acceptable to us. The issuance of preferred or common stock or convertible securities, with terms and prices significantly more favorable than those of the currently outstanding common stock, could have the effect of diluting or adversely affecting the holdings or rights of our existing stockholders. In addition, collaborative arrangements may require us to transfer certain material rights to such corporate partners. We plan to continue to seek other sources of financing on favorable terms; however, there are no assurances that any such financing can be obtained on favorable terms, if at all.

     We hope to keep operating costs to a minimum until we achieve positive cash flow through financings or operating activities. If we are unable to generate profits or unable to obtain sufficient additional funds for our working capital needs, we may need to delay, scale-back or eliminate certain of our research and development programs or cease operations. In view of these conditions, our ability to continue as a going concern is in substantial doubt and dependent upon achieving a profitable level of operations and on our ability to obtain necessary financing to fund ongoing operations.

Securities Purchase Agreement

     On February 12, 2008, we consummated the sale of an aggregate of 3,675,000 shares of its common stock and Class F Callable Warrants to purchase up to an additional 3,675,000 shares of our common stock for aggregate proceeds of $3,675,000 pursuant to the terms of a Securities Purchase Agreement dated February 8, 2008 (the “Securities Purchase Agreement”) with certain institutional and other accredited investors (the “Investors”).

     We engaged an agent (the “Agent”) to help in the fund raising efforts of the Securities Purchase Agreement. The agent was paid a total cash fee of 7% of the aggregate proceeds ($257,250) and received Class F Callable Warrants to purchase 514,500 shares of our common stock valued at $642,980 and representing 7% of the total number of shares purchased by the Investors. In addition, the agent was reimbursed $6,045 for expenses incurred on our behalf.

Related Party Transactions

Wages and benefits

     During the three and nine months ended May 31, 2009 we incurred $0 and $77,154 in cash wages and benefits expense for services rendered by Mr. Nicholas Cucinelli,our former President and

 

32



Chief Executive Officer, which includes $50,000 severance pursuant to an Employment Termination Agreement, dated October 15, 2008 between us and Mr. Cucinelli. Upon Mr. Cucinelli’s resignation, we simultaneously appointed Mr. Meetesh Patel as our President, Chief Executive Officer and Director. During the three and nine months ended May 31, 2009, we incurred $40,369 and $108,359 in cash wages and benefits expense for services rendered by Mr. Patel.

     Upon Mr. Cucinelli’s resignation as our President and Chief Executive Officer the stock option granted him on February 15, 2008 to purchase 1,250,000 shares of common stock was forfeited pursuant to the terms of the Employment Termination Agreement. As a result of Mr. Cucinelli’s resignation, stock option compensation expense of $3,573,778 recorded in fiscal year 2008 for Mr. Cucinelli’s stock option was reversed during the quarter ended November 30, 2008 and is included in wages and benefits for the nine months ended May 31, 2009.

Management fees – related party

     During the three and nine months ended May 31, 2009, we incurred $0 and $4,472 for services rendered by Mr. Frank Fabio, our former consultant Chief Financial Officer (the “CFO”). Mr. Fabio resigned as CFO, effective January 9, 2009.

     On September 12, 2008, the Company granted a stock option to our then CFO to purchase, subject to applicable vesting provisions, 50,000 shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $0.78 per share. The stock option vests in five equal annual installments of 10,000 options each, commencing on September 12, 2009, and annually thereafter. The stock option is further subject to the terms and conditions of the stock option agreement between the CFO and us. Under the terms of the stock option agreement, the stock option agreement will terminate and there will be no further vesting of stock options effective as of the date that the CFO ceases to serve as a consultant to us. Upon termination of such service, the CFO will have a specified period of time to exercise vested stock options, if any. The fair value of the 50,000 stock options granted was estimated at $0.71 each, for a total of $35,500. As a result of Mr. Fabio’s resignation on January 9, 2009, the stock option granted to Mr. Fabio to purchase 50,000 shares of common stock was all forfeited upon his resignation. Accordingly, stock option compensation expense of $4,053 recorded during the quarter ended November 30, 2008 for Mr. Fabio’s stock option was reversed during the quarter ended February 28, 2009 and is included in management fees – related party for the nine months ended May 31, 2009.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

     Our discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations is based upon our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. On an on-going basis, we evaluate our estimates, including those related to income taxes and contingencies. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

     Management believes the following critical accounting policies reflect its more significant estimates and assumptions used in the preparation of its financial statements.

     In September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued SFAS No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements” (SFAS 157), which establishes a framework for measuring fair value and requires expanded disclosures regarding fair value measurements. In February 2008, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position No. 157-2, “Effective Date of FASB Statement 157” (FSP 157-2), which allows for the deferral of the adoption date of SFAS 157 for all nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities, except those that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the financial statements on a

 

34



recurring basis. We are required to adopt SFAS 157 for the assets and liabilities within the scope of FSP 157-2 on September 1, 2009, the beginning of our fiscal year 2010. We do not expect the adoption of SFAS 157 for non-financial assets and liabilities to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements. In October 2008, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position No. 157-3, “Determining the Fair Value of a Financial Asset in a Market That Is Not Active” (FSP 157-3), which clarifies the application of SFAS 157 when the market for a financial asset is inactive. The guidance in FSP 157-3 was effective immediately and did not have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements. In April 2009, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position No. 157-4, “Determining Fair Value When the Volume and Level of Activity for the Asset or Liability Have Significantly Decreased and Identifying Transactions That Are Not Orderly” (FSP 157-4), which provides additional guidance in determining when observable transaction prices or quoted prices in markets that have become less active require significant adjustments to estimate fair value. FSP 157-4 supersedes FSP 157-3 and is to be applied prospectively and is effective for interim and annual periods ending after June 15, 2009 with early adoption permitted for periods ending after March 15, 2009. We will adopt FSP 157-4 on June 1, 2009, the beginning of our fourth quarter ended August 31, 2009. We do not expect the application of FSP 157-4 to have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements.

     In April 2009, the FASB issued FSP 107-1 and Accounting Principles Board (APB) 28-1 "Interim Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments". FSP 107-1 amends SFAS 107 "Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments" to require an entity to provide disclosures about fair value of financial instruments in interim financial information. FSP 107-1 is to be applied prospectively and is effective for interim and annual periods ending after June 15, 2009 with early adoption permitted for periods ending after March 15, 2009. We will include the required disclosures in our Form 10-K for the year ending August 31, 2009.

     In June 2008, the FASB ratified EITF Issue No. 07-5, "Determining Whether an Instrument (or an Embedded Feature) Is Indexed to an Entity's Own Stock" (EITF 07-5). EITF 07-5 provides that an entity should use a two step approach to evaluate whether an equity-linked financial instrument (or embedded feature) is indexed to its own stock, including evaluating the instrument's contingent exercise and settlement provisions. It also clarifies the impact of foreign currency denominated strike prices and market-based employee stock option valuation instruments on the evaluation. EITF 07-5 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008. We will adopt EITF 07-5 on September 1, 2009, the beginning of our fiscal year 2010. We are currently evaluating the potential impact, if any, EITF 07-5 will have on its consolidated financial statements.

     In June 2008, the FASB issued Staff Position EITF 03-06-1, “Determining Whether Instruments Granted in Share-Based Payment Transactions Are Participating Securities” (FSP EITF 03-06-1). FSP EITF 03-06-1 provides that unvested share-based payment awards that contain non-forfeitable rights to dividends or dividend equivalents (whether paid or unpaid) are participating securities and shall be included in the computation of earnings per share pursuant to the two-class method in SFAS No. 128, “Earnings per Share.” FSP EITF 03-06-1 must be adopted for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2008. 03-06-1 did not have any impact on the our consolidated financial statements. FSP EITF 03-06-1 did not have any impact on the our consolidated financial statements.

     In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160, “Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements, an Amendment of Accounting Research Bulletin No 51” (SFAS 160). SFAS 160 establishes accounting and reporting standards for ownership interests in subsidiaries held by parties other than the parent, changes in a parent’s ownership of a noncontrolling interest, calculation and disclosure of the consolidated net income attributable to the parent and the noncontrolling interest, changes in a parent’s ownership interest while the parent retains its controlling financial interest and

 

35



fair value measurement of any retained noncontrolling equity investment. SFAS 160 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is prohibited. We must adopt SFAS 160 on September 1, 2009, the beginning of our fiscal year 2010. We do not expect the application of SFAS No. 160 to have a material effect on its consolidated financial statements.

     In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141R, “Business Combinations” (SFAS 141R), which establishes principles and requirements for the reporting entity in a business combination, including recognition and measurement in the financial statements of the identifiable assets acquired, the liabilities assumed, and any noncontrolling interest in the acquiree. SFAS 141R applies prospectively to business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after the beginning of the first annual reporting period beginning on or after December 15, 2008, and interim periods within those fiscal years. We must adopt SFAS 141R on September 1, 2009, the beginning of our fiscal year 2010. We do not expect the application of SFAS 141R to have a material effect on its consolidated financial statements.

Background

     We were incorporated in the State of Nevada on May 5, 1998, under the name “Octillion Corp.”

     Since inception, we have been a technology incubator focused on the identification, acquisition, development and eventual commercialization of emerging technologies initially in the biotech and subsequently in the alternative energy sectors; however, commencing in August 2007 with the spinoff of our then wholly-owned subsidiary, MicroChannel Technologies Corporation, we elected to focus all of our resources on alternative energy technologies.

     Accordingly, effective December 2, 2008, we changed our name to “New Energy Technologies, Inc.” so as to more accurately reflect our focus on alternative energy technologies.

 

36



     Our corporate headquarters is located at 3905 National Drive, Suite 110, Burtonsville, Maryland 20866. Our telephone number is (800) 213-0689.

     We are a development stage technology company, focused on developing next generation alternative energy technologies. We conduct our current operations through our two wholly-owned subsidiaries:

  • KEC; and
  • New Energy Solar

     Our strategy is to develop new technologies and, where warranted, acquire rights to obtain licenses to technologies and products that are being developed by third parties, primarily universities and government agencies, through sponsored research and development agreements.

     We are currently focusing our development efforts on two technologies, namely:

  • MotionPower™ Technology for capturing the kinetic energy of moving vehicles in order to use this captured energy to generate clean electricity; and
  • SolarWindow™ Technology which enable transparent glass windows to generate electricity by coating their glass surfaces with the world’s smallest known solar cells.

     We have filed nine new patent applications for inventions related to our MotionPower™ Technology; and, currently have two active trademark registrations in progress, “MotionPower™” Technology and “SolarWindow™” Technology. Currently all of our patent applications are pending. There is no assurance that such patent applications can or will be successfully prosecuted.

     We do not currently have any commercial products and there is no assurance that we will successfully be able to design, develop manufacture, or sell any commercial products in the future.

Our MotionPower™ Technology

     We are developing MotionPower™ as a device which captures the kinetic energy of moving vehicles and uses this captured energy to generate clean electricity.

     All vehicles in motion possess kinetic energy. Kinetic energy refers to the energy of motion, and is best described as the extra energy an object possesses due to its motion, such as the energy observed when a ball is thrown or kicked or when a cyclist no longer needs to peddle a bike in order to continue forward motion.

     The amount of kinetic energy a vehicle possesses is based upon the vehicle’s speed and weight. The faster the vehicle is moving and the heavier it is, the more kinetic energy it possesses. When a moving vehicle slows down, it wastes some of its kinetic energy in the process of braking. It is this wasted energy which we are seeking to recapture. Accordingly, for our MotionPower™ Technology device to effectively harvest a vehicle’s kinetic energy, the vehicle must be in the process of slowing down.

     Our MotionPower™ Technology device functions as an energy harvester, and may be considered an “external regenerative brake” which helps a vehicle slow down. Our MotionPower™ Technology captures and converts the vehicle’s wasted kinetic energy into useful electricity rather than allowing that energy be wasted as brake heat.

 

37



     Engineers anticipate installing MotionPower™ devices, currently under development, at high traffic locations wherever vehicles are required to slow down or stop. Our target installation sites include toll booths, traffic intersections, rest areas, travel plazas, border crossings, neighborhoods with traffic calming zones, parking sites, and drive-thrus.

     To date, we have engineered, designed, and produced several MotionPower™ Technology prototype devices. We have already initiated and intend to undertake durability tests of a MotionPower™ Technology prototype device at:

  • a Burger King® franchise drive-thru in Hillside, New Jersey;
  • the Four Seasons Hotel, Washington, DC; and,
  • the Holiday Inn Express® in Baltimore, Maryland.

Development of Our MotionPower™ Technology

     We are developing our MotionPower™ Technology through KEC, our wholly-owned subsidiary; all of our research, development and design activities are conducted through contractual arrangements with third party providers. KEC has entered into a number of consulting agreements with third party engineering firms relating to the development MotionPower™ Technology and the MotionPower™ Technology prototype device .

     On November 4, 2008, KEC entered into an engineering consulting agreement with Veryst Engineering, LLC (the “Veryst Agreement”), relating to the development of a car and truck energy harvester. Pursuant to Rule 24b-2 we submitted a request for confidential treatment of certain portions of the Veryst Agreement, relating to the payment terms, scope of work and the terms of the license agreement under the Veryst Agreement. Our request was granted on November 25, 2008.

     On December 4, 2008, KEC entered into a Letter of Intent with V2G Enterprises, LLC (the “V2G Letter of Intent”) to provide engineering consulting services to produce a roadway embedded kinetic power capture device that harvests energy from moving vehicles and converts the harvested kinetic energy into useable electricity.

     On May 1, 2009, KEC entered into an engineering consulting agreement with Sigma Design Company, LLC (the “Sigma Design Agreement”) to provide engineering and product development services relating to the development of technologies for generating electricity from the motion of cars and trucks. The Sigma Agreement may be terminated by either Sigma Design or us upon 30 days written notice to the other party.

Market Overview of Our MotionPower™ Technology

     We believe that a market opportunity exists for our MotionPower™ technology, capable of capturing the wasted kinetic energy of moving cars to generate clean electricity. Rising energy costs, increasing electricity consumption, and the need for a cleaner alternative to today’s non-renewable energy sources, all contribute to the growing demand for clean, renewable alternative energy sources.

     Global energy consumption is expected to double from 2003 to 2030, according to the Energy Information Administration (EIA), and domestic electricity prices have been rising as a consequence of the cost of conventional fuels for electricity generation and looser pricing caps in some states.

 

38



     America is the world’s largest consumer of electricity, according to the U.S. Energy Information Administration, with nearly 70% of the nation’s electricity generated by coal and natural gas. The environmental impact and rising costs of these non-renewable fuels, along with the potential doubling of global electricity consumption in the coming years, illustrate the need for more creative, sustainable methods for generating electrical power.

     There are an estimated 251 million registered vehicles in the United States (US Bureau of Transportation Statistics) which, according to the Environmental Protection Agency, drive more than 6 billion miles every day. We are working towards the development of MotionPower™ Technology devices which can be installed at various roadway sites where they are able to harvest the kinetic energy produced by these moving vehicles and use that captured energy in order to generate clean electricity.

     Currently, there are no commercially marketed vehicle energy harvesting devices available for sale in the United States and there is no formally recognized vehicle energy harvesting industry. It is, therefore, impossible to definitively quantify the commercial size of the vehicle energy harvesting market. Energy industry analyst, Raghu Das, CEO of IDTechEx, a technology industry analytics firm, has recently estimated that the global market for energy harvesting technologies will exceed $4 billion by 2019 (Source: Global Market For Energy Harvesting Technologies To Exceed $4B By 2019; Aerospace Online; July 17, 2009).

Government Regulation of our MotionPower™ Technology

     Our MotionPower™ Technology may be subject to certain government regulations. Our ability to remain viable will depend on favorable government decisions at various stages of the technology’s development by various agencies. From time to time, legislation is introduced that could significantly change the statutory provisions governing our research and development processes, as well as approval, manufacture and marketing of any products derived from such research and development activities.

     The production and marketing of our MotionPower™ Technology products, currently under development, involves the development and implementation of brand new roadway technologies which are subject to existing safety regulations and may be subject to yet unknown regulations.

     Current safety requirements for electrical products can include, but may not be limited to, Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) regulations, National Electrical Code (NEC) as approved as an American National Standard by the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) or ANSI/NFPA-70, certification by Underwriters Laboratories (UL) and the Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE), and compliance with local roadway safety legislation. These regulations are subject to change, and our ability to remain viable is contingent upon successfully satisfying regulatory requirements as stipulated by these agencies and/or others as the development of our MotionPower™ technology evolves.

Sales and Marketing of Our MotionPower™ Technology

     Ultimately, we plan to market MotionPower™ Technology products, if any, subject to receiving any requisite regulatory approvals, through co-marketing, co-promotion, licensing and distribution arrangements with third party collaborators. No such arrangements presently exist. We believe that this approach will both increase market penetration and commercial acceptance of our products and enable us to avoid expending significant funds to develop a large sales and marketing organization. Please refer to “RISK FACTORS.”

Competition Against Our MotionPower™ Technology

 

39



     Currently, there are no commercially marketed vehicle energy harvesting devices available for sale in the United States and there is no formally recognized vehicle energy harvesting industry. To the best of our knowledge, at current, our MotionPower™ Technology does not face any substantive, direct competition from any commercially available vehicle energy harvester.

     We anticipate, however, that competition could grow if first-generation energy harvesting technologies designed to capture human kinetic energy and other such small-scale devices begin to gain commercial acceptance; such devices could potentially be re-engineered to capture the kinetic energy of moving vehicles.

     Other than our efforts, there are only two, small, privately-held companies developing vehicle energy harvesters. Unlike our MotionPower™ Technology for cars, light trucks, and heavy long-haul vehicles, these other technologies appear primarily directed to heavy trucks only.

  • AEST Incorporated – is purportedly developing its “Dragon Power Station” technology for installation where heavy trucks drive over a series of plates embedded in the roadway. The motion of the plates creates a pumping action of hydraulic fluids which subsequently turn a generator, ultimately producing electricity. To-date there is only one publicly-disclosed Dragon Power Station installation; and
  • KinergyPowerUSA – is purportedly developing its “Energy Carpet” technology for installation where heavy trucks drive over a series of slats. A number of underlying, interconnected micro- sized pistons pump hydraulic fluids to turn a generator, ultimately producing electricity. To- date, there are no publicly-disclosed Energy Carpet installations-

     The foregoing information regarding each of AEST Incorporated and KinergyPower USA was obtained from their respective web sites.

     These companies’ systems rely on the transfer of vehicle weight to hydraulically pump fluids to electrical generators. We believe these methods are substantially different from our MotionPower™ Technology which makes use of otherwise wasted kinetic energy when cars and trucks slow down, and, as such, we do not consider either company to pose a direct competitive threat to our MotionPower™ Technology.

     Our commercial success will depend on our ability and the ability of our sublicensees, if any, to compete effectively in product development areas such as, but not limited to, safety, price, marketing and distribution.

     There can be no assurance new competitors will not succeed in developing products that are more effective than our MotionPower™ Technology, therefore rendering our products, if any, obsolete and non-competitive. Accordingly, in addition to our product development efforts, we have undertaken a public relations/advertising program designed to establish our “brand” name recognition early on in our corporate development; we intend to continue to develop and market our brand name pending commercialization of our MotionPower™ Technology products, if ever successfully developed. We believe our strategy ultimately will facilitate the marketing, distribution and public acceptance of our MotionPower™ Technology products, if and when safety approvals are received.

     Competition with respect to our technologies is and will be based, among other things, on safety, reliability, availability, price and patent position. Another important factor will be the timing of market introduction of our competitive products. Accordingly, the speed with which we can develop

40



our MotionPower™ Technology devices, complete regulatory approval processes and ultimately supply commercial quantities of products to the market is expected to be an important competitive factor. Our competitive position will also depend upon our ability to attract and retain qualified personnel, to obtain patent protection or otherwise develop proprietary products or processes, and to secure sufficient capital resources for the often substantial period between technology development and commercial sales.

Our SolarWindow™ Technology

     We are developing our SolarWindow™ Technology by coating glass surfaces with the world’s smallest known solar cells to produce transparent glass windows capable of generating electricity for application in homes, offices, and commercial buildings.

     America is the world’s largest consumer of electricity, according to the U.S. Energy Information Administration, with nearly 70% of the nation’s electricity generated by coal and natural gas. The environmental impact and rising costs of these non-renewable fuels, along with the potential doubling of global electricity consumption in the coming years, illustrate the need for more creative, sustainable methods for generating electrical power.

     Our SolarWindow™ Technology research and development efforts are being conducted pursuant to the USF Sponsored Research Agreement entered into between our wholly-owned subsidiary New Energy Solar and USF on May 20, 2009.

     Researchers at USF are working to develop our SolarWindow™ Technology which enables transparent glass windows to generate electricity by coating their glass surfaces with ultra-small, functional solar cells. These solar coatings are less than 1/10th the thickness of conventional ‘thin’ films and make use of the world’s smallest functional solar cells, shown to successfully produce electricity in a published peer-reviewed study in the Journal of Renewable and Sustainable Energy of the American Institute of Physics (J. Lewis, J. Zhang and X. Jiang, Journal of Renewable and Sustainable Energy, 1, 1301, January 2009).

     Our SolarWindow™ Technology, currently under development, makes use of ultra-small solar cells which measure less than ¼ the size of a grain of rice and are fabricated using environmentally-friendly hydrogen-carbon based materials. These ultra-small solar cells allow for fabrication of solar arrays – a collection of multiple solar cells - on a broad range of substrate materials such as glass, plastic, and even paper. Made of natural polymers which can be dissolved into liquid for easy application, these ultra-small solar cells do not require expensive and complicated high-temperature or high-vacuum production techniques common to other solar coatings.

     Currently available solar cells are largely made of silicon wafers, an expensive and brittle material that can limit their commercial usability. Other newer generation, lower cost flexible thin film solar materials such as amorphous silicon, copper-indium-gallium-selenide, and cadmium telluride often require high-vacuum and high-temperature production techniques, and are many times thicker than the ultra-small solar cells used in our SolarWindow™ Technology. This generally limits the application of such thin films primarily to stainless steel, an expensive substrate material with limited prospects of delivering transparency.

     Our SolarWindow™ Technology, currently under development, uses an organic solar array which achieves transparency through the creative use of conducting polymers, naturally occurring materials which conduct electricity and have the same desirable electrical properties as the world’s

 

41



most commercially popular semiconductor, silicon, yet have a better capacity to ‘optically absorb’ photons from light and generate electricity.

     The optical absorption properties of our SolarWindow’s™ Technology ultra-small solar cells enables development of an ultra-thin film, only 1/1000th the thickness of a human hair, or 1/10th of a micrometer. Conventional thin films are exponentially thicker, measuring several micrometers thick and inhibiting transparency. In photovoltaic applications such as see-thru windows, where transparency is a primary concern, today’s thin film solar cells simply cannot be utilized to produce a transparent solar window for application in homes, offices, and commercial buildings.

     Unlike other solar technologies, the ultra-small solar cells exclusive to our SolarWindow™ Technology generate electricity not only from the visible light spectrum found in sunlight but also by using the visible light found in artificial light, such as fluorescent lighting typically installed in offices and commercial buildings. Commercially, while the majority of today’s solar cells can only be installed where direct sunlight is available, researchers anticipate that our SolarWindow™ Technology ultra-small solar cells can be installed anywhere that direct sunlight or artificial lighting such as fluorescent systems emit visible light.

     On June 24, 2009, we announced findings of USF researchers who, in a series of experiments repeatedly tested our SolarWindow’s™ Technology ultra-small solar cells on a 1”x1” substrate against today’s popular solar materials for their capacity to produce electricity under varying artificial light conditions, mimicking the levels of light exposure in homes and commercial offices. In every case, these ultra-small solar cells have outperformed all of the conventional materials tested.

     We do not currently have a commercial product and there is no assurance that we will be able to successfully design, develop, manufacture, or sell any commercial product in the future.

Development of Our SolarWindow™ Technology

     Under terms of the USF Sponsored Research Agreement, we have agreed to provide financial support for the project, “Semitransparent Flexible Power Foil (SFPF)” relating to the development of a prototype flexible semi-transparent organic power foil (1ft by 1ft dimension) for use as an energy-generating window glass in building-integrated photovoltaic products (the “USF Technology”). Pursuant to Rule 24b-2 we submitted a request for confidential treatment of certain portions of the USF Sponsored Research Agreement, relating to the payment terms, scope of work under the USF Sponsored Research Agreement. Our request was granted on June 11, 2009. Accordingly, these terms of the USF Sponsored Research Agreement have not been disclosed.

     On May 20, 2009, the Company, through its wholly-owned subsidiary, New Energy Solar, also entered into an Option Agreement (the “USF Option Agreement”) with the University of South Florida Research Foundation, Inc., a corporation not for profit under Chapter 617 Florida Statutes, and a direct support organization of USF, pursuant to which New Energy Solar has the right to an exclusive option to obtain an exclusive worldwide commercial license under certain patents relating to the USF Technology. Pursuant to Rule 24b-2 we submitted a request for confidential treatment of certain portions of the USF Option Agreement, relating to the payment terms, scope of work under the USF Option Agreement. Our request was granted on June 11, 2009. Accordingly, these terms of the USF Option Agreement have not been disclosed.

Market Overview of Our SolarWindow™ Technology

 

42



     We believe that a significant market opportunity exists for our SolarWindow™ Technology, which enables transparent glass windows to generate electricity by coating their glass surfaces with the world’s smallest known solar cells. Rising energy costs, increasing electricity consumption, and the need for a cleaner alternative to today’s non-renewable energy sources, all contribute to the growing demand for clean, renewable alternative energy sources.

     Global energy consumption is expected to double from 2003 to 2030, according to the Energy Information Administration (EIA), and domestic electricity prices have been rising as a consequence of the cost of conventional fuels for electricity generation and looser pricing caps in some states.

     America is the world’s largest consumer of electricity, according to the U.S. Energy Information Administration, with nearly 70% of the nation’s electricity generated by coal and natural gas. The environmental impact and rising costs of these non-renewable fuels, along with the potential doubling of global electricity consumption in the coming years, illustrate the need for more creative, sustainable methods for generating electrical power.

     We believe that the commercial opportunity to install transparent glass windows capable of generating electricity in homes and commercial buildings is significant. There are nearly 5 million commercial buildings in America, according to the Energy Information Administration, and more than 80 million single detached homes.

Government Regulation of Our SolarWindow™ Technology

     Our SolarWindow™ Technology may be subject to certain government regulations. Our ability to remain viable will depend on favorable government decisions at various stages of the technology’s development by various agencies. From time to time, legislation is introduced that could significantly change the statutory provisions governing our research and development processes, as well as approval, manufacture and marketing of any products derived from such research and development activities.

     The production and marketing of our SolarWindow™ Technology products, currently under development, involves the development and implementation of new technologies which are subject to existing safety regulations and may be subject to yet unknown regulations.

     Current safety requirements for electrical products can include, but may not be limited to, Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) regulations, National Electrical Code (NEC) as approved as an American National Standard by the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) or ANSI/NFPA-70, certification by Underwriters Laboratories (UL) and the Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE), and compliance with local building codes. These regulations are subject to change, and our ability to remain viable is contingent upon successfully satisfying regulatory requirements as stipulated by these agencies and/or others as the development of our SolarWindow™ technology evolves.

Sales and Marketing of Our SolarWindow™ Technology

     Ultimately, we plan to market SolarWindow™ products, if any, subject to obtaining regulatory approvals, through co-marketing, co-promotion, licensing and distribution arrangements with third party collaborators. No such arrangements presently exist. We believe that this approach will both increase market penetration and commercial acceptance of our products and enable us to avoid expending significant funds to develop a large sales and marketing organization. Please refer to “RISK FACTORS.”

Competition Against Our SolarWindow™ Technology

     Competition in the solar-photovoltaics industry is growing. Although we are not aware of other products substantially similar to our SolarWindow™ Technology product under development, numerous solar cell technologies have been developed, or are being developed, by a number of companies.

     Such technologies include, but are not necessarily limited to, the use of organic materials, advanced crystalline silicon thin film concepts, amorphous silicon, cadmium telluride, copper-indium-gallium-selenide (CIGS), titanium dioxide, and copper indium diselenide, and others. Given the benefit of time, investment, and advances in manufacturing technologies, any of these competing technologies may achieve lower manufacturing costs, superior performance, or greater market acceptance than our SolarWindow™ Technology product, currently under development.

     We face competition from many companies, major universities and research institutions in the United States and abroad. Many of our competitors have substantially greater resources, experience in conducting research, obtaining regulatory approvals for their products, operating experience, research and development and marketing capabilities and production capabilities. We will face competition from companies marketing existing products or developing new products which may render our technologies absolute. The description of the products and technologies being developed or marketed by our competitors listed below have been taken from publicly available documents or reports filed by these companies:

  • Konarka Technologies, Inc. - is focused on the development and advancement of nano-enabled polymer photovoltaic materials that are lightweight, flexible and more versatile than traditional solar materials;
  • XsunX, Inc. - develops and markets proprietary Thin Film Photovoltaic (TFPV) solar cell designs and core solar cell manufacturing systems, enabling licensees to manufacture TFPV solar devices on various substrates; 
  • United Solar Ovonic - uses a unique manufacturing process to produce amorphous- silicon (a-Si) based thin-film solar modules; United Solar Ovonic is a wholly owned subsidiary of Energy Conversion Devices, Inc.;
  • Sharp Corporation - has developed mass-production technology for stacked triple- junction thin-film solar cells by turning a conventional two-active-layer structure (amorphous silicon plus microcrystalline silicon) into a triple-junction structure with amorphous silicon (two active layers) and microcrystalline silicon (single active layer); and
  • DuPont - is a leading materials supplier to the Photovoltaic (PV) industry, with more than 20 years of experience in PV materials development, applications know- how, manufacturing expertise and global market access, and offers a broad and growing portfolio of films, resins for encapsulants, encapsulant films, and conductive pastes.

 

44



These companies may have numerous competitive advantages, including:

  • significantly greater name recognition;
  • established distribution networks;
  • more advanced technologies and product development;
  • additional lines of products, and the ability to offer rebates, higher discounts or incentives to gain a competitive advantage;
  • greater experience in conducting research and development, manufacturing, , obtaining regulatory approval for products, and marketing approved products; and
  • greater financial and human resources for product development, sales and marketing, and patent litigation.

     Our commercial success will depend on our ability and the ability of our sublicensees, if any, to compete effectively in product development areas such as, but not limited to, safety, price, marketing and distribution.

     There can be no assurance that competitors will not succeed in developing products that are more effective than our SolarWindow™ technology, therefore rendering our products obsolete and non-competitive. Accordingly, in addition to our research and development efforts, we have undertaken a public relations/advertising program designed to establish our “brand” name recognition early on in our corporate development; we intend to continue to develop and market our brand name pending commercialization of products, if any, we may derive from our research and development efforts. We believe our strategy ultimately will facilitate the marketing, distribution and public acceptance of any products we may derive from our research and development efforts if and when regulatory approval is received.

     Competition with respect to our technologies is and will be based, among other things, on safety, reliability, availability, price and patent position. Another important factor will be the timing of market introduction of our competitive products. Accordingly, the speed with which we can develop our SolarWindow™ products, complete safety approvals processes and ultimately supply commercial quantities of the products to the market is expected to be an important competitive factor. Our competitive position will also depend upon our ability to attract and retain qualified personnel, to obtain patent protection or otherwise develop proprietary products or processes, and to secure sufficient capital resources for the often substantial period between technological conception and commercial sales.

Compensation of Non-Employee Directors

     Our Board of Directors determines the non-employee directors’ compensation for serving on the Board and its committees. In establishing director compensation, the Board is guided by the following goals:

  • Compensation should consist of a combination of cash and equity awards that are designed to fairly pay the directors for work required for a company of our size and scope;

  • Compensation should align the directors’ interests with the long-term interests of stockholders; and,
  • Compensation should assist with attracting and retaining qualified directors.

     We do not pay director compensation to directors who are also employees. All non-employee directors are paid a director’s fee in the amount of $2,500 per quarter. Directors are entitled to participate in, and have been issued options under, our 2006 Stock Plan. We also reimburse directors for any actual expenses incurred to attend meetings of the Board.

In accordance with applicable SEC rules and regulations, the following table reports all compensation the Company paid to non-employee directors during the fiscal year ended August 31, 2008:

(1) Mr. Rayat resigned as Chief Financial Officer, Secretary, Treasurer and Director of the Company, effective September 12, 2008.

(2) In September 2007, our Board of Directors appointed Mr. Nicholas Cucinelli to the positions of President and Chief Executive Officer. Pursuant to an Employment Agreement, the Board approved an annual salary of $105,000, a $2,000 reimbursement for relocation related expenses, and a stock option to purchase up to 1,500,000 shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $4.21.

On February 15, 2008, we cancelled the stock option granted to Mr. Nicholas Cucinelli in September 2007 for 1,500,000 stock options and simultaneously entered into a 10 year stock option agreement with Mr. Nicholas Cucinelli for the purchase of 1,250,000 common shares. The 1,250,000 stock options have an exercise price of $1.66 per share. The options vest as follows: (a) 300,000 vest and become exercisable in annual installments of 100,000 for three years, with the first 100,000 vesting on February 8, 2009; (b) 500,000 vest and become exercisable in the event that we, or any subsidiary thereof, with the prior approval of the Board of Directors: successfully executes any partnership agreement or joint-venture agreement of any technology under current or future development; or successfully completes the sale any subsidiary; or any technology under current or future development; and (c) 450,000 vest and become exercisable upon: commencing commercial sales of products derived from any technology under current or future development; or successfully achieving commercial gross annual sales exceeding $10,000,000 of those products and/or services which are not derived from technologies under current or future research and development by us; or successfully completing the sale of Octillion to a third party, subject to shareholder and Board of Directors approval. All unexercised Options, whether vested or not, expire immediately in the event that Mr. Cucinelli is removed from his position by the Board of Directors, shareholders or voluntarily resigns from his position. The fair value of the 1,250,000 options granted was estimated at $1.39 each, by using the Black-Scholes Option Pricing Model with the following weighted average assumptions: dividend yield of 0%, expected volatility of 166.72%, risk-free interest rates of 2.76%, and expected

lives of 5 years. On October 15, 2008, Mr. Nicholas Cucinelli resigned from the positions of President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company. As a result, the stock option granted to Mr. Cucinelli on February 15, 2008 to purchase 1,250,000 shares of common stock were all forfeited pursuant to the terms of an Employment Termination Agreement dated October 15, 2008 between the Company and Mr. Cucinelli. Pursuant to Mr. Cucinelli’s resignation, the stock option compensation expense of $3,573,778 recorded in fiscal year 2008 for Mr. Cucinelli’s stock option will be reversed during the quarter ended November 30, 2008.

Changes in Control

     There are no understandings or agreements known by management at this time which would result in a change in control.

     As our business develops, we anticipate that our compensation program will expand to include bonuses for other employees and awards of equity compensation. We believe that a combination of cash and common stock or options will allow us to attract and retain the services of the individuals who will help us achieve our business objectives, thereby increasing value for our shareholders.

     In setting the compensation for our officers, our board of directors looked primarily at the stage of our business operations and our ability to pay our executives. As our operations develop, we expect that executive compensation will be determined by reviewing the person’s responsibilities, salaries paid

 

57



to others in businesses comparable to ours, the person’s experience and our ability to replace the individual should the need arise.

SECURITY OWNERSHIP OF CERTAIN BENEFICIAL OWNERS AND MANAGEMENT

     The following table sets forth certain information with respect to the beneficial ownership of our common stock as of August 31, 2009 by:

  • each person (or group of affiliated persons) who is known by us to beneficially own 5% or more of our common stock;

TRANSACTIONS WITH RELATED PERSONS, PROMOTERS AND CERTAIN CONTROL PERSONS

     During the three and nine months ended May 31, 2009 we incurred $0 and $77,154 in cash wages and benefits expense for services rendered by Mr. Nicholas Cucinelli, our former President and Chief Executive, which includes $50,000 severance pursuant to an Employment Termination Agreement, dated October 15, 2008 between us and Mr. Cucinelli. Upon Mr. Cucinelli’s resignation, our Board of Directors simultaneously appointed Mr. Meetesh Patel as the President, Chief Executive Officer and Director of the Company. During the three and nine months ended May 31, 2009, we incurred $40,369 and $108,359 in cash wages and benefits expense for services rendered by Mr. Patel.

     Upon Mr. Cucinelli’s resignation as our President and Chief Executive Officer, the stock option granted him on February 15, 2008 to purchase 1,250,000 shares of common stock was forfeited pursuant to the terms of the Employment Termination Agreement. As a result of Mr. Cucinelli’s resignation, stock option compensation expense of $3,573,778 recorded in fiscal year 2008 for Mr. Cucinelli’s stock option was reversed during the quarter ended November 30, 2008 and is included in wages and benefits for the nine months ended May 31, 2009.

     During the year ended August 31, 2008 we incurred $118,534 in cash wages and benefits expense as compensation for Mr. Nicholas Cucinelli, as our President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company from September 2007 through October 15, 2008. During the year ended August 31, 2007 Mr. Kaiyo Nedd was our President and Chief Financial Officer. Mr. Nedd provided services to us for no compensation. Please refer to “EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION.”

Management fees – related party

     During the three and nine months ended May 31, 2009, we incurred $0 and $4,472 for services rendered by Mr. Frank Fabio, our former consultant Chief Financial Officer (the “CFO). Mr. Fabio resigned as CFO, effective January 9, 2009.

     On September 12, 2008, we granted a stock option to our then CFO to purchase, subject to applicable vesting provisions, 50,000 shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $0.78 per share. The stock option vests in five equal annual installments of 10,000 options each, commencing on September 12, 2009, and annually thereafter. The stock option is further subject to the terms and conditions of the stock option agreement between the CFO and us. Under the terms of the stock option agreement, the stock option agreement will terminate and there will be no further vesting of stock options effective as of the date that the CFO ceases to serve as a consultant to us. Upon termination of

 

59



such service, the CFO will have a specified period of time to exercise vested stock options, if any.

Upon termination of such service, the director will have a specified period of time to exercise vested stock options, if any.

Common Stock

     Each holder is entitled to one vote for each share held on all matters to be voted upon by the stockholders. The shares of common stock do not have cumulative voting rights. This means that holders of more than 50% of the shares of common stock voting for the election of directors can elect all the directors and, therefore, our present stockholders can elect all of the directors even after this offering.

     The holders of common stock are entitled to receive a pro-rata share of dividends, if any, as may be declared from time to time by the board of directors out of funds legally available for the payment of dividends. However, we presently intend to reinvest any earnings instead of paying cash dividends. In the event of our liquidation, dissolution, or winding up, the holders of common stock are entitled to share pro-rata in all assets remaining after payment of our liabilities. Shares of common stock have no preemptive, conversion, or other subscription rights. There are no redemption or sinking fund provisions applicable to the common stock.

     Holders of the preferred stock are entitled to one vote for each share held of record. Holders of the preferred stock vote with holders of the common stock as one class. There are no shares of preferred stock issued and outstanding.

Upon termination of such service, Mr. Patel will have a specified period of time to exercise vested stock options, if any. As of August 31, 2009 none of the stock option had vested.

Shares Eligible For Resale

     Sales of substantial amounts of our common stock in the public market following this offering could negatively affect the market price of our common stock. Such sales could also impair our future ability to raise capital through the sale of our equity securities.

     As of August 31, 2009, we had 58,600,600 shares of our common stock outstanding. Of these Shares, 36,749,600 Shares are "restricted" securities, within the meaning of Rule 144 under the Securities Act, and may not be sold in the absence of registration under the Securities Act, unless an exemption from registration is available, including the exemption provided by Rule 144. Of these 25,099,600 are owned by 1420525 Alberta Ltd., a private corporation, of which Harmel S. Rayat, our former chief financial officer, director and controlling shareholder is the sole shareholder.

Rule 144

     The SEC has recently adopted amendments to Rule 144 which became effective on February 15, 2008, and will apply to securities acquired both before and after that date. Under these amendments, a person who has beneficially owned restricted shares of our common stock for at least six months would be entitled to sell their securities provided that (i) such person is not deemed to have been one of our affiliates at the time of, or at any time during the three months preceding, a sale and (ii) we are subject to the Exchange Act periodic reporting requirements for at least three months before the sale.

Sales under Rule 144 by Affiliates

     Persons who have beneficially owned restricted shares of our common stock for at least six months but who are our affiliates at the time of, or at any time during the three months preceding, a sale, would be subject to additional restrictions, by which such person would be entitled to sell within any three-month period only a number of securities that does not exceed the greater of either of the following:

  • 1% of the number of shares of common stock then outstanding, which will equal <> shares as of the date of this Prospectus; or
  • the average weekly trading volume of the common stock during the four calendar weeks preceding the filing of a notice on Form 144 with respect to the sale , provided that the common stock is listed on a national securities exchange or on The NASDAQ Stock Market.

     Sales under Rule 144 by our affiliates are further limited under Rule 144, including the provisions thereof relating to the manner of sale, notice requirements and availability of current public information about us.

Sales Under Rule 144 by Non-Affiliates

     Under Rule 144, a person who is not deemed to have been one of our affiliates at the time of or at any time during the three months preceding a sale, and who has beneficially owned the restricted ordinary shares proposed to be sold for at least six (6) months, including the holding period of any prior owner other than an affiliate, is entitled to sell their ordinary shares without complying with the manner of sale and volume limitation or notice provisions of Rule 144. We must be current in our public reporting if the non-affiliate is seeking to sell under Rule 144 after holding his ordinary shares between 6 months and one year. After one year, non-affiliates do not have to comply with any other Rule 144 requirements.

Restrictions on the Use of Rule 144 by Shell Companies or Former Shell Companies

     Historically, the SEC staff has taken the position that Rule 144 is not available for the resale of securities initially issued by companies that are, or previously were, blank check companies, to their promoters or affiliates despite technical compliance with the requirements of Rule 144. The SEC has codified and expanded this position in the amendments discussed above by prohibiting the use of Rule 144 for resale of securities issued by any shell companies (other than business combination related shell companies) or any issuer that has been at any time previously a shell company. The SEC has provided an important exception to this prohibition, however, if the following conditions are met:

 

63



  • The issuer of the securities that was formerly a shell company has ceased to be a shell company;
  • The issuer of the securities is subject to the reporting requirements of Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act;
  • The issuer of the securities has filed all Exchange Act reports and material required to be filed, as applicable, during the preceding 12 months (or such shorter period that the issuer was required to file such reports and materials), other than Form 8-K reports; and
  • At least one year has elapsed from the time that the issuer filed current Form 10 type information with the SEC reflecting its status as an entity that is not a shell company.

     As we are not a shell company, our restricted shares will be able to be resold pursuant to Rule 144 as described above after we become subject to the reporting requirements of Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act.

     In addition, the shares registered for resale by the Selling Stockholders may be sold without restriction pursuant to this Prospectus.

SELLING STOCKHOLDERS

     The following table presents information regarding the Selling Stockholders. The Selling Stockholders may sell up to 10,850,000 shares of our common stock. The percentage of outstanding shares beneficially owned is based on 58,600,600 shares of common stock issued and outstanding at August 31, 2009. Information with respect to beneficial ownership is based upon information provided to us by the Selling Stockholders. Except as may be otherwise described below, to the best of our knowledge, the named Selling Shareholder beneficially owns and has sole voting and investment authority as to all of the shares set forth opposite his name, none of the Selling Stockholders is known to us to be a registered broker-dealer or an affiliate of a registered broker-dealer. Each of the selling stockholders has acquired his, her or its shares solely for investment and not with a view to or for resale or distribution of such securities.

(1)  Calculated pursuant to rule 13d-3(d) of the Exchange Act. Beneficial ownership is calculated based on 58,600,600 shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding as of August 31, 2009. Under Rule 13d-3(d) of the Exchange Act, shares not outstanding which are subject to options, warrants, rights or conversion privileges exercisable within 60 days are deemed outstanding for the purpose of calculating the number and percentage owned by such person, but are not deemed outstanding for the purpose of calculating the percentage owned by each other person listed.

     Under Rule 13d-3, a beneficial owner of a security includes any person who, directly or indirectly, through any contract, arrangement, understanding, relationship, or otherwise has or shares: (i) voting power, which includes the power to vote, or to direct the voting of shares; and (ii) investment power, which includes the power to dispose or direct the disposition of shares. Certain shares may be deemed to be beneficially owned by more than one person (if, for example, persons share the power to vote or the power to dispose of the shares). In addition, shares are deemed to be beneficially owned by a person if the person has the right to acquire the shares (for example, upon exercise of an option) within 60 days of the date as of which the information is provided. In computing the percentage ownership of any person, the amount of shares outstanding is deemed to include the amount of shares beneficially owned by such person (and only such person) by reason of these acquisition rights. As a result, the percentage of outstanding shares of any person as shown in this table does not necessarily reflect the person's actual ownership or voting power with respect to the number of shares of common stock actually outstanding on August 31, 2009. Please refer to “PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION.”

(2) The Selling Stockholders may offer and sell, from time to time, any or all of our common stock issued to them and registered for resale. Because the Selling Stockholders may offer all or only some portion of the 10,850,000

 

65



shares of common stock registered, no exact number can be given as to the amount or percentage of these shares of common stock that will be held by the Selling Stockholders upon termination of the offering. We can only make estimates and assumptions. The number of shares listed in the category entitled “Percentage of Issued and Outstanding Shares Owned After This Offering,” in the table above, represent an estimate of the number of shares of common stock that will be held by the Selling Stockholders after the offering. To arrive at this estimate, we have assumed that the Selling Stockholders will sell all of the shares to be registered pursuant to this offering and will not be acquiring any additional shares. Please refer to “PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION.”

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION

     Each Selling Stockholder of the common stock and any of their pledgees, assignees and successors-in-interest may, from time to time, sell any or all of their shares of common stock on the OTCBB or any other stock exchange, market or trading facility on which the shares are traded or in private transactions. These sales may be at fixed or negotiated prices. A Selling Stockholder may use any one or more of the following methods when selling shares:

  • ordinary brokerage transactions and transactions in which the broker-dealer solicits purchasers;
  • block trades in which the broker-dealer will attempt to sell the shares as agent but may position and resell a portion of the block as principal to facilitate the transaction;
  • purchases by a broker-dealer as principal and resale by the broker-dealer for its account;
  • an exchange distribution in accordance with the rules of the applicable exchange;
  • privately negotiated transactions;
  • settlement of short sales entered into after the effective date of the registration statement of which this Prospectus is a part;
  • broker-dealers may agree with the Selling Stockholders to sell a specified number of such shares at a stipulated price per share;
  • through the writing or settlement of options or other hedging transactions, whether through an options exchange or otherwise;
  • a combination of any such methods of sale; or
  • any other method permitted pursuant to applicable law.

     The Selling Stockholders may also sell shares under Rule 144 under the Securities Act, as amended, if available, rather than under this Prospectus.

     Broker-dealers engaged by the Selling Stockholders may arrange for other brokers-dealers to participate in sales. Broker-dealers may receive commissions or discounts from the Selling Stockholders (or, if any broker-dealer acts as agent for the purchaser of shares, from the purchaser) in amounts to be negotiated, but, except as set forth in a supplement to this Prospectus, in the case of an agency transaction not in excess of a customary brokerage commission in compliance with FINRA NASD Rule 2440; and in the case of a principal transaction a markup or markdown in compliance with NASD IM-2440.

     In connection with the sale of the common stock or interests therein, the Selling Stockholders may enter into hedging transactions with broker-dealers or other financial institutions, which may in turn engage in short sales of the common stock in the course of hedging the positions they assume. The Selling Stockholders may also sell shares of the common stock short and deliver these securities to close out their short positions, or loan or pledge the common stock to broker-dealers that in turn may sell these securities. The Selling Stockholders may also enter into option or other transactions with

 

68



broker-dealers or other financial institutions or the creation of one or more derivative securities which require the delivery to such broker-dealer or other financial institution of shares offered by this Prospectus, which shares such broker-dealer or other financial institution may resell pursuant to this Prospectus (as supplemented or amended to reflect such transaction).

     The Selling Stockholders and any broker-dealers or agents that are involved in selling the shares may be deemed to be “underwriters” within the meaning of the Securities Act in connection with such sales. In such event, any commissions received by such broker-dealers or agents and any profit on the resale of the shares purchased by them may be deemed to be underwriting commissions or discounts under the Securities Act. Each Selling Stockholder has informed the Company that it does not have any written or oral agreement or understanding, directly or indirectly, with any person to distribute the Common Stock.

     The Company is required to pay certain fees and expenses incurred by the Company incident to the registration of the shares. The Company has agreed to indemnify the Selling Stockholders against certain losses, claims, damages and liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act.

     Because Selling Stockholders may be deemed to be “underwriters” within the meaning of the Securities Act, they will be subject to the Prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act including Rule 172 as promulgated thereunder. In addition, any securities covered by this Prospectus which qualify for sale pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act may be sold under Rule 144 rather than under this Prospectus. There is no underwriter or coordinating broker acting in connection with the proposed sale of the resale shares by the Selling Stockholders.

     We agreed to keep this Prospectus effective until the earlier of (i) the date on which the shares may be resold by the Selling Stockholders without registration and without regard to any volume limitations by reason of Rule 144(k) under the Securities Act or any other rule of similar effect or (ii) all of the shares have been sold pursuant to this Prospectus or Rule 144 under the Securities Act or any other rule of similar effect. The resale shares will be sold only through registered or licensed brokers or dealers if required under applicable state securities laws. In addition, in certain states, the resale shares may not be sold unless they have been registered or qualified for sale in the applicable state or an exemption from the registration or qualification requirement is available and is complied with.

     Under applicable rules and regulations under the Exchange Act, any person engaged in the distribution of the resale shares may not simultaneously engage in market making activities with respect to the common stock for the applicable restricted period, as defined in Regulation M, prior to the commencement of the distribution. In addition, the Selling Stockholders will be subject to applicable provisions of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations thereunder, including Regulation M, which may limit the timing of purchases and sales of shares of the common stock by the Selling Stockholders or any other person. We will make copies of this Prospectus available to the Selling Stockholders and have informed them of the need to deliver a copy of this Prospectus to each purchaser at or prior to the time of the sale (including by compliance with Rule 172 under the Securities Act).

LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

     Although we are not party to nor are we aware of any pending lawsuit, litigation or proceeding, from time to time, we may become involved in various lawsuits and legal proceedings which arise in the ordinary course of business.

 

69



     We are currently not aware of any other legal proceedings or claims that we believe will have, individually, or in the aggregate, a material adverse affect on our business, financial condition or operating results.

DISCLOSURE OF COMMISSION POSITION ON INDEMNIFICATION FOR SECURITIES ACT LIABILITIES

     We believe that the indemnification provisions of our Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws will be useful to attract and retain qualified persons as directors and officers. Our Articles of Incorporation limit the liability of directors and officers to the fullest extent permitted by Nevada law. This is intended to allow our directors and officers the benefit of Nevada's corporation law which provides that directors and officers of Nevada corporations may be relieved of monetary liabilities for breach of their fiduciary duties as directors, except under circumstances which involve acts or omissions which involve intentional misconduct, fraud or a knowing violation of law.

     Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to our directors, officers and controlling persons pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, we have been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable.

     In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than our payment of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, we will, unless in the opinion of our counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by us is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

LEGAL MATTERS

     The validity of the shares of common stock offered hereby will be passed upon for New Energy Technologies, Inc. by Sierchio & Company LLP, 430 Park Avenue, 7th Floor, New York, New York 10022. Joseph Sierchio, a member of Sierchio & Company LLP, is one of our directors. Mr. Sierchio is the beneficial owner of 60,000 shares of our common stock.

EXPERTS

     Our consolidated financial statements at August 31, 2008 and 2007 and for the years then ended, appearing herein have been audited by Peterson Sullivan, LLP, an independent registered public accounting firm, as set forth in its report thereon appearing elsewhere herein, and are included in reliance upon such report given on the authority of such firm as experts in accounting and auditing.

CHANGES IN AND DISAGREEMENTS WITH ACCOUNTANTS ON ACCOUNTING AND FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE

     There have been no changes in, and we have not had any disagreements with our accountants with respect to, our accounting and financial disclosure.

NEW ENERGY TECHNOLOGIES, INC.
(Formerly “Octillion Corp.”)
(A Development Stage Company)

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

May 31, 2009
(Expressed in U.S. Dollars)
(Unaudited)

Note 1: Organization and Nature of Operations

New Energy Technologies, Inc. (“the Company”) was incorporated in the State of Nevada on May 5, 1998, under the name “Octillion Corp.” On December 2, 2008, the Company amended its Articles of Incorporation to effect a change of name to New Energy Technologies, Inc. The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Sungen Energy, Inc. (“Sungen”), Kinetic Energy Corporation (“Kinetic Energy”), Octillion Technologies Limited (“Octillion Technologies”) and New Energy Solar Corporation (“New Energy Solar”).

Sungen was incorporated on July 11, 2006 in the State of Nevada and has no assets and no liabilities. Kinetic Energy was incorporated on June 19, 2008 in the State of Nevada and has no assets and no liabilities. Octillion Technologies was incorporated on April 11, 2007 in the Province of British Columbia, Canada for providing administrative services to the Company’s Canadian office. The Company ceased to conduct business in Canada on August 31, 2008 and closed this office. As a result, the Company dissolved Octillion Technologies and eliminated all intercompany balances, effective December 1, 2008. New Energy Solar was incorporated on February 9, 2009 in the State of Florida and has no assets and no liabilities.

New Energy Technologies, Inc., together with its wholly owned subsidiaries, is an alternative and renewable energy technology developer focused on the identification, acquisition, development, and commercialization of alternative and renewable energy technologies. Among the Company’s current research and development activities is the development of technology to adapt existing home and office glass windows, skylights, and building facades into products capable of generating electricity from solar energy without losing significant transparency or requiring major changes in manufacturing infrastructure, and technologies to harness the kinetic energy of moving vehicles to generate electricity.

On August 22, 2007, the Company spun off its wholly-owned biotechnology subsidiary, MicroChannel Technologies Corporation (“MicroChannel”) with the shareholders of the Company. The net assets and results of operations of MicroChannel of the prior period have been reclassified as discontinued operations.

Note 2. Going Concern Uncertainties

The Company is a development stage company, has not generated any revenues, has an accumulated deficit of $5,287,508 as of May 31, 2009, and does not have positive cash flows from operating activities. The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America, which contemplates continuation of the Company as a going concern, which is dependent upon the Company’s ability to establish itself as a profitable business.

Due to the start-up nature of the Company’s business, the Company expects to incur additional losses as it continues to develop its technologies. To date, the Company’s cash flow requirements have been met by a private placement of common stock and warrants for net proceeds of $3,395,955 on February 12, 2008. Management recognizes that in order to meet the Company’s capital requirements, and continue to operate, additional financing will be necessary. The Company expects to raise additional funds through private or public equity investments in order to support existing operations and expand the range and scope of its business operations. The Company will seek

 

F-5



access to private or public equity but there is no assurance that such additional funds will be available for the Company to finance its operations on acceptable terms, if at all. Furthermore, there is no assurance that the net proceeds received from any successful financing arrangement will be sufficient to cover cash requirements during the initial stages of the Company’s operations. If the Company is unable to raise additional capital or generate positive cash flow, it is unlikely that the Company will be able to continue as a going concern.

In view of these conditions, the ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is in substantial doubt and dependent upon achieving a profitable level of operations and on the ability of the Company to obtain necessary financing to fund ongoing operations. These consolidated financial statements do not give effect to any adjustments which will be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern and therefore be required to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in other than the normal course of business and at amounts different from those reflected in the accompanying consolidated financial statements.

Note 3. Presentation of Interim Information

The accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Form 10-Q instructions and in the opinion of management of New Energy Technologies, Inc., include all adjustments (of a normal recurring nature) considered necessary to present fairly the financial position of the Company as of May 31, 2009 and August 31, 2008 and the related results of operations, stockholders’ equity (deficit), and cash flows for the three and nine months ended May 31, 2009 and 2008 and for the cumulative period from May 5, 1998 (inception) to May 31, 2009. These results have been determined on the basis of generally accepted accounting principles and practices in the United States and applied consistently with those used in the preparation of the Company’s 2008 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in the quarterly financial statements presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States have been condensed or omitted. It is suggested that the accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto incorporated by reference in the Company’s 2008 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Recently Issued Accounting Standards

In September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued SFAS No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements” (SFAS 157), which establishes a framework for measuring fair value and requires expanded disclosures regarding fair value measurements. In February 2008, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position No. 157-2, “Effective Date of FASB Statement 157” (FSP 157-2), which allows for the deferral of the adoption date of SFAS 157 for all nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities, except those that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the financial statements on a recurring basis. The Company is required to adopt SFAS 157 for the assets and liabilities within the scope of FSP 157-2 on September 1, 2009, the beginning of its fiscal year 2010. The Company does not expect the adoption of SFAS 157 for non-financial assets and liabilities to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements. In October 2008, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position No. 157-3, “Determining the Fair Value of a Financial Asset in a Market That Is Not Active” (FSP 157-3), which clarifies the application of SFAS 157 when the market for a financial asset is inactive. The guidance in FSP 157-3 was effective immediately and did not have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. In April 2009, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position No. 157-4, “Determining Fair Value When the Volume and Level of Activity for the Asset or Liability Have Significantly Decreased and Identifying Transactions That Are Not Orderly” (FSP 157-4), which provides additional guidance in determining when observable transaction prices or quoted prices in markets that have become less active require significant adjustments to estimate fair value. FSP 157-4 supersedes FSP 157-3 and is to be applied prospectively and is effective for interim and annual periods ending after June 15, 2009 with early adoption permitted for periods ending after March 15, 2009. The Company will adopt FSP 157-4 on June 1, 2009, the beginning of its fourth quarter ended August 31, 2009. The Company does not expect the application of FSP 157-4 to have a material effect on its consolidated financial statements.

In April 2009, the FASB issued FSP 107-1 and Accounting Principles Board (APB) 28-1 "Interim Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments". FSP 107-1 amends SFAS 107 "Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments" to require an entity to provide disclosures about fair value of financial instruments in

 

F-6



interim financial information. FSP 107-1 is to be applied prospectively and is effective for interim and annual periods ending after June 15, 2009 with early adoption permitted for periods ending after March 15, 2009. The Company will include the required disclosures in its Form 10-K for the year ending August 31, 2009.

In June 2008, the FASB ratified EITF Issue No. 07-5, "Determining Whether an Instrument (or an Embedded Feature) Is Indexed to an Entity's Own Stock" (EITF 07-5). EITF 07-5 provides that an entity should use a two step approach to evaluate whether an equity-linked financial instrument (or embedded feature) is indexed to its own stock, including evaluating the instrument's contingent exercise and settlement provisions. It also clarifies the impact of foreign currency denominated strike prices and market-based employee stock option valuation instruments on the evaluation. EITF 07-5 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008. The company will adopt EITF 07-5 on September 1, 2009, the beginning of its fiscal year 2010. The Company is currently evaluating the potential impact, if any, EITF 07-5 will have on its consolidated financial statements.

In June 2008, the FASB issued Staff Position EITF 03-06-1, “Determining Whether Instruments Granted in Share-Based Payment Transactions Are Participating Securities” (FSP EITF 03-06-1). FSP EITF 03-06-1 provides that unvested share-based payment awards that contain non-forfeitable rights to dividends or dividend equivalents (whether paid or unpaid) are participating securities and shall be included in the computation of earnings per share pursuant to the two-class method in SFAS No. 128, “Earnings per Share.” FSP EITF 03-06-1 must be adopted for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2008. FSP EITF 03-06-1 did not have any impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160, “Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements, an Amendment of Accounting Research Bulletin No 51” (SFAS 160). SFAS 160 establishes accounting and reporting standards for ownership interests in subsidiaries held by parties other than the parent, changes in a parent’s ownership of a noncontrolling interest, calculation and disclosure of the consolidated net income attributable to the parent and the noncontrolling interest, changes in a parent’s ownership interest while the parent retains its controlling financial interest and fair value measurement of any retained noncontrolling equity investment. SFAS 160 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is prohibited. The Company must adopt SFAS 160 on September 1, 2009, the beginning of its fiscal year 2010. The Company does not expect the application of SFAS No. 160 to have a material effect on its consolidated financial statements.

In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141R, “Business Combinations” (SFAS 141R), which establishes principles and requirements for the reporting entity in a business combination, including recognition and measurement in the financial statements of the identifiable assets acquired, the liabilities assumed, and any noncontrolling interest in the acquiree. SFAS 141R applies prospectively to business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after the beginning of the first annual reporting period beginning on or after December 15, 2008, and interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company must adopt SFAS 141R on September 1, 2009, the beginning of its fiscal year 2010. The Company does not expect the application of SFAS 141R to have a material effect on its consolidated financial statements.

Note 4. Net Income (Loss) per Share

Basic net income (loss) per share is computed by dividing the net income (loss) by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net income (loss) per share is computed by dividing the net income (loss) by the weighted average number of common and dilutive common equivalent shares outstanding during the period.

During the nine months ended May 31, 2009, stock options and warrants to purchase 4,284,500 shares of common stock with a weighted-average exercise price of $1.23 per share were not included in the diluted earnings per share computation as the effects would have been anti-dilutive.

During the three months ended May 31, 2009 and the three and nine months ended May 31, 2008, the Company recorded a net loss. Therefore, the issuance of shares of common stock from the exercise of stock options or warrants would be anti-dilutive. Excluded from the computation of diluted net loss per share for the three months ended May 31, 2009, because their effect would be anti-dilutive, are stock options and warrants to acquire

 

F-7



4,284,500 shares of common stock with a weighted-average exercise price of $1.23 per share. Excluded from the computation of diluted net loss per share for the three and nine months ended May 31, 2008, because their effect would be anti-dilutive, are stock options and warrants to acquire 5,484,500 shares of common stock with a weighted-average exercise price of $1.35 per share.

As the inclusion of all potentially dilutive stock options and warrants outstanding would have been anti-dilutive during the three and nine months ended May 31, 2009 and 2008, basic and diluted net income (loss) per share are the same.

For purposes of earnings per share computations, shares of common stock that are issuable at the end of a reporting period are included as outstanding.

Note 5. Solar Energy Conversion Technology

UIUC Sponsored Research Agreement

On August 25, 2006, through the Company’s wholly owned subsidiary, Sungen Energy, Inc. (“Sungen”), the Company entered into a Sponsored Research Agreement (“UIUC Sponsored Research Agreement”) with the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign (“UIUC”) for the development of a new patent-pending technology to integrate films of silicon nanoparticle material on glass substrates, acting as photovoltaic solar cells that have the potential to convert normal home and office glass windows into ones capable of converting solar energy into electricity, with limited loss of transparency and minimal changes in manufacturing infrastructure (the “UIUC Silicon Nanoparticle Energy Technology”). On July 23, 2007, the Company through its wholly owned subsidiary, Sungen, amended its Sponsored Research Agreement with the UIUC. Pursuant to this amended Sponsored Research Agreement, the Company agreed to provide an additional $203,617 to the previously awarded amount of $219,201 for a total of $422,818, to the University of Illinois in order to accelerate the development of films of silicon nanoparticle material composed of nanosilicon photovoltaic solar cells that have the potential to convert solar radiation to electrical energy.

The UIUC Sponsored Research Agreement expired on August 22, 2008. As of this date, the Company had advanced a total of $266,709 to the University of Illinois pursuant to the terms of the UIUC Sponsored Research Agreement. Pursuant to the terms of the UIUC Sponsored Research Agreement, the Company was to advance an additional $156,109 to the University of Illinois, which is included in other accrued liabilities at May 31, 2009. However, the Company has not made the advance pending determination as to whether funds previously paid to UIUC under the terms of the UIUC Sponsored Research Agreement have been fully expended. The Company is of the opinion that to the extent these funds were not expended they should be refunded to the Company.

During the three and nine months ended May 31, 2009 the Company did not record any research and development expense pursuant to the UIUC Sponsored Research Agreement. During the three and nine months ended May 31,

 

F-8


 

2008 the Company recorded $78,054 and $234,163 as research and development expense pursuant to the UIUC Sponsored Research Agreement. During the period from inception (May 5, 1998) to May 31, 2009, the Company recorded $422,818 as research and development expense pursuant to the UIUC Sponsored Research Agreement.

Oakland Sponsored Research Agreement

On August 18, 2008, the Company entered into a two-year Sponsored Research Agreement (“Oakland Sponsored Research Agreement”) with scientists at Oakland University to further the development of the Company’s photovoltaic technology.

Pursuant to the terms of the Oakland Sponsored Research Agreement the Company agreed to advance a total of $348,066 to fund the research and development activities of which $140,519 was payable on or before September 1, 2008, $127,547 was payable on or before October 1, 2009 and $80,000 was payable on demand during the contract period for reimbursement of materials provided by Oakland University. In February 2009, the Company, in order to preserve its working capital, decided that it was in its best interest not to proceed forward with the Oakland Sponsored Research Agreement and exercised its right pursuant to Section 9.3 of the Oakland Sponsored Research Agreement, and provided written notice to Oakland University to terminate the Oakland Sponsored Research Agreement. As of the termination date of the Oakland Sponsored Research Agreement, $20,220 of the $140,519 initially advanced to Oakland University had been expended and is included in research and development expense for the nine months ended May 31, 2009. The remaining $120,299 was refunded to the Company in April 2009.

USF Sponsored Research Agreement and Option Agreement

On May 20, 2009, the Company, through it’s wholly-owned subsidiary, New Energy Solar Corporation (“New Energy Solar”), entered into a research agreement (the “USF Sponsored Research Agreement”) with University of South Florida Board of Trustees (“USF”), for support to the project entitled “Semitransparent Flexible Power Foil (SFPF)” relating to the development of a prototype flexible semi-transparent organic power foil (1ft by 1ft dimension) for an energy-generating window glass in building-integrated photovoltaic products (the “USF

Technology”). Pursuant to a Confidential Treatment Order (“CT ORDER”) filed with the SEC, payment terms, scope of work and the terms of the USF Sponsored Research Agreement have not been disclosed.

On May 20, 2009, the Company, through it’s wholly-owned subsidiary, New Energy Solar, also entered into an Option Agreement (the “USF Option Agreement”) with the University of South Florida Research Foundation, Inc., a corporation not for profit under Chapter 617 Florida Statutes, and a direct support organization of USF, pursuant to which New Energy Solar has the right to an exclusive option to obtain an exclusive worldwide commercial license under certain patents relating to the USF Technology. Pursuant to a CT ORDER filed

with the SEC the terms of the USF Option Agreement have not been disclosed.

Note 6. Energy Harvesting Technologies

VERYST Agreement

On November 4, 2008, the Company, through its wholly-owned subsidiary, Kinetic Energy, entered into an agreement with VERYST Engineering LLC (the “Veryst Agreement”)

relating to the development of technologies for generating electricity from the motion of cars and trucks.

The Veryst Agreement continues until terminated by either Veryst Engineering LLC or the Company. Pursuant to a CT ORDER filed with the SEC, payment terms, scope of work and the terms of the license agreement pursuant to the Veryst Agreement have not been disclosed.

V2G Letter of Intent

 

F-9



On December 4, 2008, the Company, through its wholly-owned subsidiary, Kinetic Energy, entered into a Letter of Intent with V2G Enterprises, LLC (the “V2G Letter of Intent”) to provide development services to produce a roadway embedded kinetic power capture device that harvests energy from vehicles and converts the harvested kinetic energy into useable electricity. Pursuant to the terms of the V2G Letter of Intent, the payment terms and scope of work were to remain confidential. As of May 31, 2009, the scope of work was completed pursuant to the V2G Letter of Intent and all costs incurred to date have been included in research and development expense.

Sigma Design Agreement

On May 1, 2009, the Company entered into a consulting agreement with Sigma Design Company (the “Sigma Design Agreement”) whereby Sigma Design will provide ongoing engineering and product development services relating to the development of technologies for

generating electricity from the motion of cars and trucks. The Sigma Agreement may be terminated by

either Sigma Design or the Company upon 30 days written notice to the other party. During the

three and nine months ended May 31, 2009 the Company recorded $18,847 as research and development expense pursuant to the Sigma Design Agreement.

Note 7. Capital Stock

Preferred Stock

At May 31, 2009 there were 1,000,000 shares of preferred stock (par value $0.10 per share) authorized, of which no shares were issued and outstanding. The Board of Directors has the authority to issue such stock in one or more series, to fix the number of shares and to fix and determine the relative rights and preferences of the shares of any such series so established to the full extent permitted by the laws of the State of Nevada and the Articles of Incorporation.

Common Stock

On February 12, 2008, the Company consummated the sale of an aggregate of 3,675,000 shares of its common stock and Class F Callable Warrants to purchase up to an additional 3,675,000 shares of the Company’s common stock for aggregate proceeds of $3,675,000 pursuant to the terms of a Securities Purchase Agreement dated February 8, 2008 with certain institutional and other accredited investors, as defined in Rule 501 of Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Investors”).

The Class F Callable Warrants are exercisable for a period of three years at an initial exercise price of $1.25 per share beginning on February 12, 2008. The number of shares issuable upon exercise of the Class F Callable Warrants and the exercise price of the Class F Callable Warrants are adjustable in the event of stock splits, combinations and reclassifications, but not in the event of the issuance by the Company of additional securities, unless such issuance is at a price per share which is less than the then applicable exercise price of the warrants, in which event then the exercise price shall be reduced and only reduced to equal the lower issuance price and the number of shares issuable upon exercise thereof shall be increased such that the aggregate exercise price payable thereunder, after taking into account the decrease in the exercise price, shall be equal to the aggregate exercise price prior to such adjustment. The potential adjustment to the Class F Callable Warrants exercise price and number of underlying shares of common stock results in a settlement amount that does not equal the difference between the fair value of a fixed number of the Company’s common stock and a fixed exercise price. Accordingly, the Class F Callable Warrants fall under the scope of EITF 07-5 pursuant to which the Class F Callable Warrants are not considered indexed to the Company’s own stock and do not meet the scope exception in paragraph 11(a) of FASB 133 and therefore need to be accounted for as a derivative, effective September 1, 2009, the beginning of the Company’s fiscal year 2010. As of May 31, 2009 the Company has not sold any shares of

 

F-10



common stock or common stock equivalents that would result in an adjustment to the exercise price or number of shares of common stock underlying the Class F Callable Warrants.

The Class F Callable Warrants are callable by the Company, at a repurchase price of $0.001 per warrant, subject to certain conditions, after the earlier to occur of (i) the expiration of the then applicable hold periods for a cashless exercise under Rule 144 as promulgated pursuant to the Securities Act of 1933, as amended or (ii) the date the registration statement filed pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement is declared effective by the SEC, which was declared effective by the SEC on March 21, 2008, if New Energy Technology, Inc.’s common stock, the volume weighted average price for each of 5 consecutive Trading Days exceeds $1.75.

Pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement and the Registration Rights Agreement, the Company and the Investors have made other covenants and representations and warranties regarding matters that are customarily included in financings of this nature. In the event that during the twelve month period following the closing date of the private placement, the Company issues shares at a price per share which is less than $1.00 (“Base Share Price”), then the Company is required to issue to the Investors the number of shares equal to (1) the quotient of the aggregate purchase price payable under the Securities Purchase Agreement divided by Base Share Price less (2) the quotient of the aggregate purchase price divided by the per share purchase price under the Securities Purchase Agreement.

The Company engaged an agent (the “Agent”) to help in the fund raising efforts of the Securities Purchase Agreement. The Agent was paid a total cash fee of 7% of the aggregate proceeds and Class F Callable Warrants to purchase 514,500 shares of the Company’s common stock valued at $642,980 and representing 7% of the total number of shares purchased by the Investors. In addition, the Agent was reimbursed $6,045 for expenses incurred on behalf of the Company.

The fair value of the 4,189,500 Class F Callable warrants granted was estimated at $1.25 each, for a total amount of $5,236,875, using the Black-Scholes Option Pricing Model with the following weighted average assumptions: dividend yield of 0%, expected volatility of 159.33%, risk-free interest rates of 4.76%, and expected lives of 3 years. The proceeds received pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement allocated to the warrants were $2,337,885.

Note 8. Warrants

As of May 31, 2009, the following warrants were outstanding and exercisable:

(a)      120,000 Class E Warrants which entitle the holders to purchase 120,000 shares of the Company’s common stock at $0.60 each, expiring on April 23, 2010.
(b)      4,014,500 Class F Callable Warrants which entitle the holders to purchase 4,014,500 shares of the Company’s

common stock at $1.25, expiring on February 12, 2011. Refer to Note 7. Capital Stock “Common Stock” for additional disclosures regarding the terms and conditions related to the Class F Callable Warrants.

There were no warrants granted or exercised during the three and nine months ended May 31, 2009.

Note 9. Stock Options

During 2006, the Company adopted the 2006 Incentive Stock Option Plan (the “2006 Plan”) which provides for both incentive and nonqualified stock options to be granted to employees, directors, officers and consultants. The 2006 Plan provides for the granting of stock options to purchase a maximum of 15,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock. Stock options granted to employees under the Company’s 2006 Plan generally vest over two to five years or as otherwise determined by the plan administrator. Stock options to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock expire no later than ten years after the date of grant.

 

F-11



In September 2007, the Company appointed Mr. Nicholas Cucinelli to the positions of President and Chief Executive Officer. Pursuant to an Employment Agreement between the Company and Mr. Cucinelli, the Company granted Mr. Cucinelli a stock option to purchase up to 1,500,000 shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $4.21, subject to certain vesting provisions. On February 15, 2008, the Company cancelled the stock option granted to Mr. Cucinelli in September 2007 for 1,500,000 stock options and simultaneously entered into a 10 year stock option agreement with Mr. Cucinelli for the purchase of 1,250,000 shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $1.66 per share, subject to certain vesting provisions. The cancellation and re-issuance was accounted for as a modification of the originally issued stock option in accordance with SFAS 123(R) Share-Based Payment, resulting in a total adjusted fair value of $6,895,000 which was being recognized over the requisite service period.

On October 15, 2008, Mr. Cucinelli resigned from the positions of President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company. As a result, the stock option granted to Mr. Cucinelli on February 15, 2008 to purchase 1,250,000 shares of common stock were all forfeited pursuant to the terms of an Employment Termination Agreement dated October 15, 2008 between the Company and Mr. Cucinelli. Pursuant to Mr. Cucinelli’s resignation, stock option compensation expense of $3,573,778 recorded in fiscal year 2008 for Mr. Cucinelli’s stock option was reversed during the quarter ended November 30, 2008 and is included in wages and benefits for the nine months ended May 31, 2009.

On March 10, 2008, the Company granted a stock option to each of two of its directors permitting each to purchase, subject to applicable vesting provisions, 50,000 shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $1.66 per share. Each stock option vests in five equal annual installments of 10,000 options each, commencing on February 8, 2009, and annually thereafter. The stock options are further subject to the terms and conditions of a stock option agreement between each director and the Company. Under the terms of the stock option agreement, the stock option agreement will terminate and there will be no further vesting of stock options effective as of the date that the director ceases to be a director of the Company. Upon termination of such service, the director will have a specified period of time to exercise vested stock options, if any.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Board of Directors
Octillion Corp.
Washington, D.C.

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Octillion Corporation and Subsidiaries ("the Company") (a development stage company) as of August 31, 2008 and 2007, and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders' equity (deficit), and cash flows for the years then ended, and for the cumulative period from May 5, 1998 (inception), to August 31, 2008. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these 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 audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company has determined that it is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audit 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 includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall 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 financial position of Octillion Corp. and Subsidiaries as of August 31, 2008 and 2007, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for the years then ended, and for the cumulative period from May 5, 1998 (inception), to August 31, 2008, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.

F-17



The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 1 to the financial statements, the Company has experienced recurring losses from operations since inception, and has a substantial accumulated deficit. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. Management's plans regarding these matters are also described in Note 1. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

OCTILLION CORP. AND SUSIDIARIES
(a development stage company)
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
August 31, 2008
(Expressed in U.S. Dollars)

Note 1: Basis of Presentation and Going Concern Uncertainties

Octillion Corp. (“the Company”) was incorporated in the State of Nevada on May 5, 1998. The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Sungen Energy, Inc. (“Sungen”), Kinetic Energy Corp. (“Kinetic Energy”), and Octillion Technologies Limited (“Octillion Technologies”). Sungen was incorporated on July 11, 2006 in the State of Nevada and has no assets and no liabilities. Kinetic Energy was incorporated on June 19, 2008 in the State of Nevada and has no assets and no liabilities. Octillion Technologies was incorporated on April 11, 2007 in the Province of British Columbia, Canada for providing administrative services to the Company’s Canada office. All significant inter-company balances and transactions have been eliminated.

Octillion Corp., together with its wholly owned subsidiaries, is a next generation technology incubator focused on the identification, acquisition, development, and commercialization of alternative and renewable energy technologies. Among the Company’s current research and development activities is the development of a patent-pending technology that could adapt existing home and office glass windows into ones capable of generating electricity from solar energy without losing significant transparency or requiring major changes in manufacturing infrastructure.

On August 22, 2007, the Company spun off its wholly-owned biotechnology subsidiary, MicroChannel Technologies Corporation (“MicroChannel”) with the shareholders of the Company. The net assets and results of operations of MicroChannel of the prior period have been reclassified as discontinued operations.

The Company has not generated any revenues and has an accumulated deficit of $8,113,444 as of August 31, 2008. The Company incurred a net loss of $5,721,545 during the year ended August 31, 2008. In view of these conditions, the ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is in substantial doubt and dependent upon achieving a profitable level of operations and on the ability of the Company to obtain necessary financing to fund ongoing operations. Management believes that its current and future plans enable it to continue as a going concern for the next twelve months.

To meet these objectives, the Company completed a private placement of common stock and warrants for net proceeds of $3,395,955 on February 12, 2008 and continues to seek other sources of financing in order to support existing operations and expand the range and scope of its business. However, there are no assurances that any such financing can be obtained on acceptable terms, if at all. Management believes that actions presently taken to revise the Company's operating and financial requirements provide the opportunity for the Company to continue as a going concern. The Company's ability to achieve these objectives cannot be determined at this time.

These consolidated financial statements do not give effect to any adjustments which would be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern and therefore be required to realize its assets and discharges its liabilities in other than the normal course of business and at amounts different from those reflected in the accompanying consolidated financial statements.

Note 2: Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Principles of Accounting

These financial statements have been prepared by management in accordance with the United States generally accepted accounting principles (US GAAP).

 

F-23



Principles of Consolidation

These consolidated financial statements presented are those of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, MicroChannel Technologies Corporation, Octillion Technologies Limited, Sungen Energy, Inc, and Kinetic Energy Corp. As a result of the spin-off of MicroChannel, on August 22, 2007, the net assets and results of operations of MicroChannel have been reclassified as discontinued operations. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated.

Accounting Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with US 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 financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Areas where management uses subjective judgment include valuation of equity instruments and related party transactions. Actual results can differ from those estimates and assumptions.

Foreign Operations and Foreign Currency Translation

The Company translates foreign assets and liabilities of its subsidiaries, other than those denominated in United States Dollars, at the rate of exchange at the balance sheet date. Revenues and expenses are translated at the average rate of exchange throughout the year. Gains or losses from these translations are reported as a separate component of other comprehensive income (loss), until all of the investment in the subsidiaries is sold or liquidated. The translation adjustments do not recognize the effect of income tax because the Company expects to reinvest the amounts indefinitely in operations.

Transaction gains (losses) that arise from exchange rate fluctuations on transactions denominated in a currency other than the local functional currency are included in the statements of operations.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash equivalents comprise certain highly liquid instruments with a maturity of three months or less when purchased. The Company did not have any cash equivalents as of August 31, 2008 and 2007. At times, cash deposits may exceed federally insured limits.

Equipment

Equipment is initially recorded at cost and is depreciated using the straight-line method over its estimated useful life as follows:

Computer equipment  2 years 
Office equipment and furniture  2 years 

Repairs and maintenance are charged to operations as incurred.

Long-Lived Assets Impairment

Long-lived assets are reviewed for impairment when circumstances indicate the carrying value of an asset may not be recoverable in accordance with the guidance established in Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets. For assets that are to be held and used, an impairment loss is recognized when the estimated undiscounted cash flows associated with the asset or group of assets is less than their carrying value. If impairment exists, an adjustment is made to write the asset down to its fair value, and a loss is recorded as the difference between the carrying value and fair value. Fair

 

F-24



values are determined based on discounted cash flows or internal and external appraisals, as applicable. Assets to be disposed of are carried at the lower of carrying value or estimated net realizable value.

1. Research and Development

Research and development costs are expensed when incurred, except for prepayments which are capitalized and amortized over the applicable period. During the years ended August 31, 2008 and 2007, the Company incurred $248,272 and $186,655 on research and development activities. From inception (May 5, 1998) to August 31, 2008, the Company incurred $436,927 on research and development activities.

Income Taxes

The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with Statement of Fnancial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes ("SFAS 109") as clarified by FASB Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes ("FIN 48"). Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to the differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amount for financial reporting purposes, as measured by the enacted tax rates which will be in effect when these differences are expected to reverse. 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. In assessing the realizability of deferred income tax assets, the Company considers whether it is "more likely than not," according to the criteria of SFAS 109, that some portion or all of the deferred income tax assets will be realized. The ultimate realization

of deferred income tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during the periods in which those temporary differences become deductible. FIN 48 requires that the Company recognize the financial statement benefit of a tax position only after determining that the relevant tax authority would more likely than not sustain the position following an audit. For tax positions meeting the more likely than not threshold, the amount recognized in the financial statements is the largest benefit that has a greater than 50% likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement with the relevant tax authority.

In July 2006, the FASB issued FIN No.48 “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes – an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109”. This interpretation clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in a company’s financial statements in accordance with SFAS No. 109. The interpretation prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken in a tax return. It also provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure and transition. FIN No.48 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006. The adoption of this interpretation did not have a material impact on the Company’s results of operations or financial position. As such, the Company has not recorded any liabilities for uncertain tax positions or any related interest and penalties.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

Fair value estimates of financial instruments are made at a specific point in time, based on relevant information about financial markets and specific financial instruments. As these estimates are subjective in nature, involving uncertainties and matters of significant judgment, they cannot be determined with precision. Changes in assumptions can significantly affect estimated fair value.

The carrying value of cash, accounts payable and accrued liabilities approximate their fair value because of the short-term nature of these instruments. Management is of the opinion that the Company is not exposed to significant interest or credit risks arising from these financial instruments.

The Company operates outside of the United States of America and is exposed to foreign currency risk due to the fluctuation between the currency in which the Company operates in and the U.S. dollar.

 

F-25



(i) Valuation of Warrants and Options

The Company estimates the value of warrants and option grants using a Black-Scholes pricing model based on management assumptions regarding the warrant and option lives, expected volatility, and risk free interest rates.

Segment Reporting

The Company’s business is considered as operating in one segment based upon the Company’s organizational structure, the way in which the operations are managed and evaluated, the availability of separate financial results and materiality considerations.

Comprehensive Income

The Company has adopted the Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 130 (SFAS 130), Reporting Comprehensive Income, which establishes standards for reporting and display of comprehensive income, its components and accumulated balances. The Company is disclosing this information on its Statement of Stockholders' Equity (Deficit). Comprehensive income comprises all changes to equity except those resulting from investments by owners and distributions to owners.

Earnings (Loss) Per Share

Earnings (loss) per share is computed using the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the year. The Company has adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 128 (SFAS 128), Earnings Per Share. Diluted loss per share is equivalent to basic loss per share because consideration of dilutive securities would produce an antidilutive effect.

All share and per share amounts reflect the 3 for 1 stock split effective September 1, 2006.

Related Party Transactions

A related party is generally defined as (i) any person that holds 10% or more of the Company’s securities and their immediate families, (ii) the Company’s management, (iii) someone that directly or indirectly controls, is controlled by or is under common control with the Company, or (iv) anyone who can significantly influence the financial and operating decisions of the Company. A transaction is considered to be a related party transaction when there is a transfer of resources or obligations between related parties.

Recently Issued Accounting Standards

In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements” (SFAS 157), which defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, and expands disclosures about fair-value measurements required under other accounting pronouncements. It does not change existing guidance as to whether or not an instrument is carried at fair value. SFAS 157 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, and interim periods within those fiscal years. In February 2008, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position No. FAS 157-1 (FSP FAS 157-1), which excludes SFAS No. 13, “Accounting for Leases” and certain other accounting pronouncements that address fair value measurements under SFAS 13, from the scope of SFAS 157. In February 2008, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position No. 157-2 (FSP 157-2), which provides a one-year delayed application of SFAS 157 for nonfinancial assets and liabilities, except for items that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the financial statements on a recurring basis (at least annually). The Company is required to adopt SFAS 157 as amended by FSP FAS 157-1 and FSP FAS 157-2 on September 1, 2009, the beginning of its fiscal year 2010. The Company does not expect the application of SFAS No. 157 to have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In October 2008, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position No. FAS 157-3, “Determining the Fair Value of a Financial Asset in a Market That Is Not Active” (FSP 157-3), which clarifies the application of SFAS 157 when the market for a financial asset is inactive. Specifically, FSP 157-3 clarifies how (1) management’s internal assumptions should be considered in measuring fair value when observable data are not present, (2) observable

 

F-26



market information from an inactive market should be taken into account, and (3) the use of broker quotes or pricing services should be considered in assessing the relevance of observable and unobservable data to measure fair value. The guidance in FSP 157-3 is effective immediately and will apply to the Company upon adoption of SFAS 157.

In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities, Including an Amendment to FASB No. 115” (SFAS 159). Under SFAS 159, entities may elect to measure specified financial instruments and warranty and insurance contracts at fair value on a contract-by-contract basis, with changes in fair value recognized in earnings each reporting period. The election, called the fair value option, will enable entities to achieve an offset accounting effect for changes in fair value of certain related assets and liabilities without having to apply more complex hedge accounting provisions. SFAS No. 159 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. The Company did not elect the fair value option for any of its existing financial assets or financial liabilities; therefore, this statement is did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In June 2008, the FASB issued Staff Position EITF 03-06-1, “Determining Whether Instruments Granted in Share-Based Payment Transactions Are Participating Securities” (FSP EITF 03-06-1). FSP EITF 03-06-1 provides that unvested share-based payment awards that contain nonforfeitable rights to dividends or dividend equivalents (whether paid or unpaid) are participating securities and shall be included in the computation of earnings per share pursuant to the two-class method in SFAS No. 128, “Earnings per Share”. FSP EITF 03-06-1 did not have any impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In June 2007, the Emerging Issues Task Force of the FASB issued EITF Issue No. 07-3, Accounting for Nonrefundable Advance Payments for Goods or Services to be Used in Future Research and Development Activities, (“EITF 07-3”) which is effective for new contracts entered into for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2007. EITF 07-3 requires that nonrefundable advance payments for future research and development activities be deferred and capitalized. Such amounts will be recognized as an expense as the goods are delivered or the related services are performed. The Company does not expect the adoption of EITF 07-3 to have a material impact on the financial results of the Company.

In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160, “Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements, an Amendment of Accounting Research Bulletin No 51” (SFAS 160). SFAS 160 establishes accounting and reporting standards for ownership interests in subsidiaries held by parties other than the parent, changes in a parent’s ownership of a noncontrolling interest, calculation and disclosure of the consolidated net income attributable to the parent and the noncontrolling interest, changes in a parent’s ownership interest while the parent retains its controlling financial interest and fair value measurement of any retained noncontrolling equity investment. SFAS 160 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is prohibited. The Company must adopt SFAS 160 on September 1, 2009, the beginning of its fiscal year 2010. The Company does not expect the application of SFAS No. 160 to have a material effect on the consolidated financial statements.

In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141R, “Business Combinations” (SFAS 141R), which establishes principles and requirements for the reporting entity in a business combination, including recognition and measurement in the financial statements of the identifiable assets acquired, the liabilities assumed, and any noncontrolling interest in the acquiree. SFAS 141R applies prospectively to business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after the beginning of the first annual reporting period beginning on or after December 15, 2008, and interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company must adopt SFAS 141R on September 1, 2009, the beginning of its fiscal year 2010. The Company does not expect the application of SFAS 141R to have a material effect on the consolidated financial statements.

Note 3: Net Loss per Share

Basic net loss per share is computed by dividing the net loss by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net loss per share is computed by dividing the net loss by the weighted average number of common and dilutive common equivalent shares outstanding during the period. As the inclusion of stock options and warrants outstanding would be anti-dilutive and the Company had a net loss

 

F-27



attributable to common stockholders in each of the periods presented, basic and diluted net loss per share are the same.

Excluded from the computation of diluted net loss per share for the year ended August 31, 2008, because their effect would be antidilutive, are stock options and warrants to acquire 5,584,500 shares of common stock with a weighted-average exercise price of $1.32 per share.

Excluded from the computation of diluted net loss per share for the year ended August 31, 2007, because their effect would be antidilutive, are warrants to acquire 260,000 shares of common stock with a weighted-average exercise price of $0.57 per share.

For purposes of earnings per share computations, shares of common stock that are issuable at the end of a reporting period are included as outstanding.

Following is the computation of basic and diluted net loss per share for years ended August 31, 2008 and 2007:

Note 4: Option Interest in Solar Energy Conversion Technology

On August 25, 2006, through the Company’s wholly owned subsidiary, Sungen Energy, Inc. (“Sungen”), the Company entered into a Sponsored Research Agreement (“UIUC Sponsored Research Agreement”) with the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign (“UIUC”) for the development of a new patent-pending technology to integrate films of silicon nanoparticle material on glass substrates, acting as photovoltaic solar cells that have the potential to convert normal home and office glass windows into ones capable of converting solar energy into electricity, with limited loss of transparency and minimal changes in manufacturing infrastructure (the “UIUC Silicon Nanoparticle Energy Technology”). On July 23, 2007, the Company through its wholly owned subsidiary, Sungen, amended its Sponsored Research Agreement with the UIUC. Pursuant to this amended Sponsored Research Agreement, the Company agreed to provide an additional $203,617 to the previously awarded amount of $219,201 for a total of $422,818, to the University of Illinois in order to accelerate the development of films of silicon nanoparticle material composed of nanosilicon photovoltaic solar cells that have the potential to convert solar radiation to electrical energy.

The UIUC Sponsored Research Agreement expired on August 22, 2008. As the research project had not reached the commercial production stage, during the years ended August 31, 2008 and 2007, the Company recorded $234,163 and $186,655 as research and development expense pursuant to the UIUC Sponsored Research Agreement. During the period from inception (May 5, 1998) to August 31, 2008, the Company recorded $422,818 as research and development expense pursuant to the UIUC Sponsored Research Agreement.

As of August 31, 2008, the Company was to advance an additional $156,109 to the University of Illinois under the terms of the UIUC Sponsored Research Agreement, which is included in Other Accrued Liabilities. However, the Company decided not to make the advance pending resolution of the issue as to whether funds previously paid

 

F-28



to UIUC under the terms of the UIUC Sponsored Research Agreement were expended. The Company is in discussions with UIUC regarding the status of these funds. The Company is in the opinion that to the extent these funds were not expended they should be refunded to the Company.

On August 18, 2008, the Company entered into a two-year Sponsored Research Agreement (“Oakland Sponsored Research Agreement”) with scientists at Oakland University to further the development of the Company’s photovoltaic technology.

Pursuant to the terms of the Oakland Sponsored Research Agreement the Company has agreed to advance a total of $348,066 to fund the research and development activities of which $140,519 is payable on or before September 1, 2008, $127,547 is payable on or before October 1, 2009 and $80,000 is payable on demand during the contract period for reimbursement of materials provided by Oakland University under the terms of the Oakland Sponsored Research Agreement. As of August 31, 2008, the Company paid Oakland University $140,519 in accordance with the terms of the Oakland Sponsored Research Agreement, which is included in deferred research and development costs.

Note 5: Capital Stock

At August 31, 2008 there were 1,000,000 shares of preferred stock (par value $0.10 per share) authorized, of which no shares were issued and outstanding. The Board of Directors has the authority to issue such stock in one or more series, to fix the number of shares and to fix and determine the relative rights and preferences of the shares of any such series so established to the full extent permitted by the laws of the State of Nevada and the Articles of Incorporation.

On February 12, 2008, the Company consummated the sale of an aggregate of 3,675,000 shares of its common stock and Class F Callable Warrants to purchase up to an additional 3,675,000 shares of the Company’s common stock for aggregate proceeds of $3,675,000 pursuant to the terms of a Securities Purchase Agreement dated February 8, 2008 with certain institutional and other accredited investors, as defined in Rule 501 of Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Investors”).

The Class F Callable Warrants are exercisable for a period of three years at an initial exercise price of $1.25 per share beginning on February 12, 2008. The number of shares issuable upon exercise of the Class F Callable Warrants and the exercise price of the Class F Callable Warrants are adjustable in the event of stock splits, combinations and reclassifications, but not in the event of the issuance by the Company of additional securities, unless such issuance is at a price per share which is less than the then applicable exercise price of the warrants, in which event then the exercise price shall be reduced and only reduced to equal lower issuance price and the number of shares issuable upon exercise thereof shall be increased such that the aggregate exercise price payable thereunder, after taking into account the decrease in the exercise price, shall be equal to the aggregate exercise price prior to such adjustment.

The Class F Callable Warrants are callable by the Company, at a price of $0.001 per warrant, subject to certain conditions, after the earlier to occur of (i) the expiration of the then applicable hold periods for a cashless exercise under Rule 144 as promulgated pursuant to the Securities Act of 1933, as amended or (ii) the date the registration statement filed pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement is declared effective by the SEC, which was declared effective by the SEC on March 21, 2008, if Octillion’s common stock, the volume weighted average price for each of 5 consecutive Trading Days exceeds $1.75.

Pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement and the Registration Rights Agreement, the Company and the investor parties have made other covenants and representations and warranties regarding matters that are customarily included in financings of this nature. In the event that during the twelve month period following the closing date of the private placement, the Company issues shares at a price per share which is less than $1.00 (“Base Share Price”), then the Company is required to issue to the investors the number of shares equal to (1) the quotient of the aggregate purchase price payable under the Securities Purchase Agreement divided by Base Share Price less (2) the quotient of the aggregate purchase price divided by the per share purchase price under the Securities Purchase Agreement.

 

F-29



The Company engaged an agent (the “Agent”) to help in the fund raising efforts of the Securities Purchase Agreement. The Agent was paid a total cash fee of 7% of the aggregate proceeds and Class F Callable Warrants to purchase 514,500 shares of the Company’s common stock valued at $642,980 and representing 7% of the total number of shares purchased by the Investors. In addition, the Agent was reimbursed $6,045 for expenses incurred on behalf of the Company.

The fair value of the 4,189,500 Class F Callable warrants granted was estimated at $1.25 each, for a total of amount of $5,236,875, using the Black-Scholes Option Pricing Model with the following weighted average assumptions: dividend yield of 0%, expected volatility of 159.33%, risk-free interest rates of 4.76%, and expected lives of 3 years. The proceeds received pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement allocated to the warrants was $2,337,885.

Note 6: Warrants

As of August 31, 2008, the following warrants were outstanding and exercisable:

(a)      100,000 Class D Warrants which entitle the holders to purchase 100,000 common shares of the Company at $0.55 each expiring on April 23, 2009.
(b)      120,000 Class E Warrants which entitle the holders to purchase 120,000 common shares of the Company at $0.60 each expiring on April 23, 2010.
(c)      4,014,500 Class F Callable Warrants which entitle the holders to purchase 4,014,500 common shares of the Company at $1.25 expiring on February 12, 2011.

The weighted average fair value per share of the warrant grants made during the year ended August 31, 2008 was $1.25.

During the year ended August 31, 2008, 20,000 Class C warrants, 20,000 Class D warrants and 175,000 Class F Callable warrants were exercised with aggregate proceeds of $239,750.

Note 7: Stock Options

During 2006, the Company adopted the 2006 Incentive Stock Option Plan (the “2006 Plan”) that provides for both incentive and nonqualified stock options to be granted to employees, directors, officers and consultants. The 2006 Plan provides for the granting of options to purchase a maximum of 15,000,000 shares of common stock. Options granted to employees under the Company’s option plan generally vest over two to five years or as otherwise determined by the plan administrator. Options to purchase shares expire no later than ten years after the date of grant.

In September 2007, the Company appointed Mr. Nicholas Cucinelli to the positions of President and Chief Executive Officer and granted him options to purchase up to 1,500,000 shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $4.21.

The fair value of the 1,500,000 options granted was estimated at $4.53 each, for a total of amount of $6,795,000, by using the Black-Scholes Option Pricing Model with the following weighted average assumptions: dividend yield of 0%, expected volatility of 187.12%, risk-free interest rates of 4.56%, and expected lives of 5 years.

On February 15, 2008, the Company cancelled the stock option granted to Mr. Nicholas Cucinelli in September 2007 for 1,500,000 stock options and simultaneously entered into a 10 year stock option agreement with Mr. Nicholas Cucinelli for the purchase of 1,250,000 common shares. The cancellation and re-issuance was accounted for as a modification of the originally issued stock option in accordance with SFAS 123(R) Share-Based Payment.

 

F-30



The 1,250,000 stock options have an exercise price of $1.66 per share. The options vest as follows: (a) 300,000 vest and become exercisable in annual installments of 100,000 for three years, with the first 100,000 vesting on February 8, 2009; (b) 500,000 vest and become exercisable in the event that the Company, or any subsidiary thereof, with the prior approval of the Board of Directors: successfully executes any partnership agreement or joint-venture agreement of any technology under current or future development; or successfully completes the sale any subsidiary; or any technology under current or future development; and (c) 450,000 vest and become exercisable upon: commencing commercial sales of products derived from any technology under current or future development; or successfully achieving commercial gross annual sales exceeding $10,000,000 of those products and/or services which are not derived from technologies under current or future research and development by the Company; or successfully completing the sale of Octillion to a third party, subject to shareholder and Board of Directors approval.

The fair value of the 1,250,000 options granted was estimated at $1.39 each, by using the Black-Scholes Option Pricing Model with the following weighted average assumptions: dividend yield of 0%, expected volatility of 166.72%, risk-free interest rates of 2.76%, and expected lives of 5 years. The cancellation and re-issuance of stock option resulted in additional stock-based compensation expense of $100,000 which will be recognized over the remaining requisite service period.

On October 15, 2008, Mr. Nicholas Cucinelli resigned from the positions of President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company. As a result, the stock option granted to Mr. Cucinelli on February 15, 2008 to purchase 1,250,000 shares of common stock were all forfeited pursuant to the terms of an Employment Termination Agreement dated October 15, 2008 between the Company and Mr. Cucinelli. Pursuant to Mr. Cucinelli’s resignation, the stock option compensation expense of $3,573,778 recorded in fiscal year 2008 for Mr. Cucinelli’s stock option will be reversed during the quarter ended November 30, 2008.

On March 10, 2008, the Company granted 100,000 stock options to two directors at an exercise price of $1.66 per share. The first 20,000 stock options vest on February 8, 2009 and 20,000 stock options vest every year thereafter. The fair value of the 100,000 options granted was estimated at $1.23 each, for a total of amount of $123,000, using the Black-Scholes Option Pricing Model with the following weighted average assumptions: dividend yield of 0%, expected volatility of 164.88%, risk-free interest rates of 2.37%, and expected lives of 5 years.

On September 9, 2008, Mr. Gladwin resigned from the Company’s Board of Directors. As a result, the stock option granted to Mr. Gladwin on March 10, 2008 to purchase 50,000 shares of common stock were all forfeited upon his resignation. Pursuant to Mr. Gladwin’s resignation, the stock option compensation expense of $13,262 recorded in fiscal year 2008 for Mr. Gladwin’s stock option will be reversed during the quarter ended November 30, 2008.

The aggregate intrinsic value in the table above represents the total pretax intrinsic value for all “in-the-money” options (i.e. the difference between the Company’s closing stock price on the last trading day of its fourth quarter of 2008 (August 31, 2008 was a Sunday. The last trading day was August 29, 2008) and the exercise price, multiplied by the number of shares) that would have been received by the option holders had all option holders exercised their options on August 31, 2008.

The net increase in the valuation allowance for deferred tax assets was $1,570,831 and $147,974 for the years ended August 31, 2008 and 2007. The Company evaluates its valuation allowance requirements on an annual basis based on projected future operations. When circumstances change and this causes a change in management’s judgment about the realizability of deferred tax assets, the impact of the change on the valuation allowance is reflected in current operations.

For federal income tax purposes, the Company has net U.S. operating loss carry forwards at August 31, 2008 available to offset future federal taxable income, if any, of $1,117,305, which will begin to expire during the year ended August 31, 2020. Accordingly, there is no current tax expense for the years ended August 31, 2008 and 2007. In addition, the Company has research and development tax credit carry forwards of $24,125 at August 31, 2008, which are available to offset federal income taxes and begin to expire during the year ended August 31, 2026.

The utilization of the tax net operating loss carry forwards may be limited due to ownership changes that have occurred as a result of sales of common stock.

The effects of state income taxes were insignificant for the years ended August 31, 2008 and 2007.

The stock options will vest in five equal annual installments of 10,000 options, commencing on the first anniversary of the date of grant.

On September 9, 2008, Mr. Gladwin resigned from the Company’s Board of Directors.

PROSPECTUS SUMMARY

     This summary only highlights selected information contained in greater detail elsewhere in this Prospectus. This summary may not contain all of the information that you should consider before investing in our common stock. You should carefully read the entire Prospectus, including "RISK FACTORS" beginning on page 10, and the consolidated financial statements, before making an investment decision.

     Unless the context otherwise requires, the terms “we,” “our,” “us,” “Company” and “New Energy” refer to New Energy Technologies, Inc. a Nevada corporation, and its consolidated subsidiaries.

About Us and Our Business

     We were incorporated in the State of Nevada on May 5, 1998 under the name “Octillion Corp.” with an authorized capital stock of 100,000,000 shares of common stock, $0.001 par value, and 1,000,000 shares of preferred stock, $0.10 par value. As of August 31, 2009, there were 58,600,600 shares of common stock issued and outstanding; there are no preferred shares issued and outstanding.

     Since inception, we have been a technology incubator focused on the identification, acquisition, development and eventual commercialization of emerging technologies initially in the biotech and subsequently in the alternative energy sectors; however, commencing in August 2007 with the spinoff of our then wholly-owned subsidiary, MicroChannel Technologies Corporation, we elected to focus all of our resources on alternative energy technologies. Accordingly, effective December 2, 2008 we changed our name to “New Energy Technologies, Inc.” so as to more accurately reflect our focus on alternative energy technologies. Our strategy is to develop new technologies and, where warranted, acquire rights to obtain licenses to technologies and products that are being developed by third parties, primarily universities and government agencies, through sponsored research and development agreements.

     Among our current research and development activities is the development of a technology, through a research agreement (the “USF Sponsored Research Agreement”) with the University of South Florida Board of Trustees (“USF”) relating to the development of a prototype flexible semi-transparent organic power foil (1ft by 1ft dimension) for an energy-generating window glass in building-integrated photovoltaic products (the “SolarWindow™ Technology”); the SolarWindow™ Technology would adapt existing home and office glass windows into ones capable of generating electricity from solar energy without losing significant transparency or requiring major changes in manufacturing infrastructure. The SolarWindow™ Technology is subject to a patent application filed by USF (collectively, the “USF Patent Application”). Please refer to “DESCRIPTION OF OUR BUSINESS AND PROPERTY.”

     We are also developing, a technology (the “MotionPower™ Technology”) for capturing the kinetic energy of moving vehicles in order to use this captured energy to generate clean electricity. The Motion Power™ Technology is subject to nine patent applications filed by us (collectively, the Motion Power™ Patents”). Please refer to “DESCRIPTION OF OUR BUSINESS AND PROPERTY.”

     Our corporate headquarters is located at 3905 National Drive, Suite 110, Burtonsville, Maryland 20866. Our telephone number is (800) 213-0689.

 

CP-3



Risk Factors

     Our business operations are subject to numerous risks, including the risk of delays in or discontinuation of our research and development due to lack of financing, inability to obtain necessary regulatory approvals to market the products, unforeseen safety issues relating to the products and dependence on third party collaborators to conduct research and development of the products. Because we are an early stage company with a limited history of operations, we are also subject to many risks associated with early-stage companies. For a more detailed discussion of some of the risks you should consider, you are urged to carefully review and consider the section entitled “RISK FACTORS” beginning on page 10 of this Prospectus.

Securities Being Offered

     We are offering up to 30,000,000 shares of our common stock, $0.001 par value per share at a price of $1.25 per share on a no minimum basis. This means that:

  • we have no requirement to sell any specific number shares;
  • we will not return any funds received from investors in the event that we do not sell all of the securities being offered or if the funds received are insufficient for the purposes set forth herein; and
  • we will not deposit the proceeds from this offering in an escrow, trust or similar account.

Accordingly, the proceeds from this offering will be immediately available to us for our use.

Please refer to PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION.”

Offering Price

     The offering price of $1.25 per share was arbitrarily determined by us and does not bear any significant relationship to our assets and is not necessarily reflective of the inherent or potential market or resale value of our shares. Please refer to “DETERMINATION OF OFFERING PRICE.

USE OF PROCEEDS

The shares are being offered directly by us on a no minimum basis directly through our Chief Executive Officer. The offering will be conducted by us for a period of up to 180 days following the date of this Prospectus or the date on which we have sold all of the offered shares. We may extend the offering period for an additional 90 days in our sole discretion and without notice.

  . Please note that:

  • we have no requirement to sell any specific number shares;
  • we will not return any funds received from investors in the event that we do not sell all of the securities being offered or if the funds received are insufficient for the purposes set forth herein; and
  • we will not deposit the proceeds from this offering in an escrow, trust or similar account.

Accordingly, the proceeds from this offering will be immediately available to us for our use.

     The net proceeds are not allocated for a specific purpose. Indeed, the net proceeds (following the payment of the offering expenses) will be used for working capital and general corporate purposes. In addition, the net proceeds will be applied towards working capital in an effort to minimize our operating loss.

     While we currently intend to use the proceeds of this offering substantially in the manner discussed above, we reserve the right to reassign the use if, in the judgment of our board of directors, changes are necessary or advisable. At present, no material changes are contemplated. Should there be any material changes in the above projected use of proceeds in connection with this offering, we will issue an amended Prospectus reflecting the same.

     The amounts and timing of our actual expenditures will depend on numerous factors, including marketing and sales activities, and the growth of our customer base. We may find it necessary to use portions of the net proceeds for other purposes.

     Pending these uses, we intend to invest our net proceeds in short-term, investment grade securities, at prevailing market rates of interest.

 

CP-6


 

     No portion of the proceeds of the offering will be paid to officers, directors and/or any of their respective affiliates as compensation for the offer and sale of the shares.

DETERMINATION OF OFFERING PRICE

     The offering price of $1.25 per share has been arbitrarily determined by us, and bears no significant relationship to our assets, earnings, book value or any other objective standard of value. Among the factors considered by us in determining the initial offering price were:

  • Our capital requirements;
  • Our experience in our industry;
  • The experience of our management;
  • Our technologies and the state of their current development;
  • The current exercise price of our Series F Warrants, which is $1.25 per share; and, the potential effect of issuing securities at a price which is less than the current exercise price of the Series F Warrants;
  • The percentage of our issued and outstanding shares to be represented by the offered shares; and
  • General equity market conditions.

     Accordingly, the offering price should not be viewed by you as an indication of the resale or market value of the shares you purchase.

DILUTION

     Dilution represents the difference between the offering price and the net tangible book value per share immediately after completion of this offering. Net tangible book value is the amount that results from subtracting total liabilities, all intangible assets, and the par value of preferred stock from total assets. Dilution arises mainly as a result of our arbitrary determination of the offering price of the shares being offered. Dilution of the value of the shares you purchase is also a result of the lower book value of the shares held by our existing stockholders.

     As of May 31, 2009, the net tangible book value of our shares of common stock was $2,214,494 or approximately $0.04 per share based upon 57,754,600 basic and diluted shares outstanding.

     Because we cannot with any certainty determine the number of shares which we will actually sell, the following describes the potential dilution to you if we sell all of the shares, 10,000,000 shares, 20,000,000 shares or 30,000,000 shares. The actual number of shares sold may be greater or less than the amounts described.

If All 30,000,000 Shares Are Sold:

     If all 30,000,000 shares of common stock are sold, the net tangible book value of the resulting 87,754,600 shares outstanding will be $39,714,494 or approximately $0.45 per share. The net tangible book value of the shares held by our existing stockholders will increase by $0.65 per share without any additional investment on their part. You will incur an immediate dilution from $1.25 per share to $0.80 per share.

ITEM 14. INDEMNIFICATION OF OFFICERS AND DIRECTORS

     Section 78.7502(1) of the Nevada Revised Statutes ("NRS") authorizes a Nevada corporation to indemnify any director, officer, employee, or corporate agent "who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, except an action by or in the right of the corporation" due to his or her corporate role. Section 78.7502(1) extends this protection "against expenses, including attorneys' fees, judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection with the action, suit or proceeding if he acted in good faith and in a manner which he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful."

     Section 78.7502(2) of the NRS also authorizes indemnification of the reasonable defense or settlement expenses of a corporate director, officer, employee or agent who is sued, or is threatened with a suit, by or in the right of the corporation. The party must have been acting in good faith and with the reasonable belief that his or her actions were in or not opposed to the corporation's best interests. Unless the court rules that the party is reasonably entitled to indemnification, the party seeking indemnification must not have been found liable to the corporation.

     To the extent that a corporate director, officer, employee, or agent is successful on the merits or otherwise in defending any action or proceeding referred to in Section 78.7502(1) or 78.7502(2), Section 78.7502(3) of the NRS requires that he be indemnified "against expenses, including attorneys' fees, actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection with the defense."

     Unless ordered by a court or advanced pursuant to Section 78.751(2), Section 78.751(1) of the NRS limits indemnification under Section 78.7502 to situations in which either (1) the stockholders, (2)the majority of a disinterested quorum of directors, or (3) independent legal counsel determine that indemnification is proper under the circumstances.

 

II-1



     Section 78.751(2) authorizes a corporation's articles of incorporation, bylaws or agreement to provide that directors' and officers' expenses incurred in defending a civil or criminal action must be paid by the corporation as incurred, rather than upon final disposition of the action, upon receipt by the director or officer to repay the amount if a court ultimately determines that he is not entitled to indemnification.

     Section 78.751(3)(a) provides that the rights to indemnification and advancement of expenses shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights under any bylaw, agreement, stockholder vote or vote of disinterested directors. Section 78.751(3) (b) extends the rights to indemnification and advancement of expenses to former directors, officers, employees and agents, as well as their heirs, executors, and administrators.

     Regardless of whether a director, officer, employee or agent has the right to indemnity, Section 78.752 allows the corporation to purchase and maintain insurance on his behalf against liability resulting from his or her corporate role.

Our Bylaws also contain broad indemnification provisions.

     Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to our directors or officers pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, we have been advised that in the opinion of the Securities Exchange Commission, this indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act, and is therefore unenforceable.

     There is no pending litigation or proceeding involving any of our directors, officers, employees, or other agents as to which indemnification is being sought, nor are we aware of any pending or threatened litigation that may result in claims for indemnification by any director, officer, employee, or other agent.

ITEM 15. RECENT SALES OF UNREGISTERED SECURITIES

     On April 23, 2007, we completed a private placement of 1,000,000 units at a price of $0.50 each to six individuals all of whom reside in British Columbia, Canada. Each unit consisted of one share of our common stock, one Class C Non-redeemable warrant to purchase a share of common stock at $0.50 per share for a period of 18 months from the date of issuance, one Class D Non-redeemable warrant to purchase a share of common stock at $0.55 per share for a period of 24 months from the date of issuance and once Class E Non-redeemable warrant to purchase a share of common stock at $0.60 per share for a period of 36 months from the date of issuance. We believe that these sales were exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act by virtue of Section 4(2) thereof and/or Regulation S as promulgated thereunder.

     On February 12, 2008 we consummated the sale an aggregate of 3,675,000 shares of our common stock and Series F Callable Warrants to purchase up to an additional 3,675,000 shares of our common stock at a purchase price of $1.00 per unit for an aggregate purchase price of $3,675,000 pursuant to the terms of a Securities Purchase Agreement dated February 8, 2008 with certain institutional and other accredited investors, as defined in Rule 501 of Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act. The Class F Callable Warrants have an exercise price of $1.25 per share and expire on February 12, 2011.

     The offer and sale of the securities was made to a limited number of institutional and other accredited investors in reliance upon exemptions from the registration requirements pursuant to Section 4(2) under the Securities Act and Regulation D promulgated thereunder. There was no general solicitation or advertising with respect to the private placement and each of the purchasers provided

written representations of an intent to acquire the securities for investment only and not with a view to or for sale in connection with any distribution of the securities.

ITEM 17. UNDERTAKINGS

 

            The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:

 

            (1) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement:

 

            (i) to include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended;

 

            (ii) to reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the registration statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the registration statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than a 20% change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the “Calculation of Registration Fee” table in the effective registration statement; and

 

            (iii) to include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the registration statement or any material change to such information in the registration statement;

 

            (2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

 

 

II-4



     (3) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.

     (4) For purposes of determining liability under the Securities Act of 1933 to any purchaser:

            (i) if the registrant is relying Rule 430B,

 

(A)       Each Prospectus filed by the registrant pursuant to Rule 424(b)(3) shall be deemed to be part of the registration statement as of the date the filed Prospectus was deemed part of and included in the registration statement; and

 

(B)       Each Prospectus required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424(b)(2), (b)(5), or (b)(7) as part of a registration statement in reliance on Rule 430B relating to an offering made pursuant to Rule 415(a)(1)(i), (vii), or (x) for the purpose of providing the information required by section 10(a) of the Securities Act of 1933 shall be deemed to be part of and included in the registration statement as of the earlier of the date such form is first used after effectiveness or the date of the first contract of sale of securities in the offering described in the prospectus.  As provided in Rule 430B, for liability purposes of the issuer, and any person that is at that date an underwriter, such date shall be deemed to be a new effective date of the registration statement relating to the securities in the registration statement to which that prospectus relates, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.  Provided, however, that no statement made in a registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration or made in a document incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference into the registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement will, as to a purchaser with a time of contract of sale prior to such effective date, supersede or modify any statement that was made in the registration statement or prospectus that was part of the registration statement or made in any such document immediately prior to such effective date; or

 

            (i) If the Registrant is subject to Rule 430C, each prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) as part of a registration statement relating to an offering, other than registration statements relying on Rule 430B or other than prospectuses filed in reliance on Rule 430A, shall be deemed to be part of and included in the registration statement as of the date it is first used after effectiveness. Provided, however, that no statement made in a registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration or made in a document incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference into the registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement will, as to a purchaser with a time of contract of sale prior to such first use, supersede or modify any statement that was made in the registration statement or prospectus that was part of the registration statement or made in any such document immediately prior to such date of first use.

 

            (5)        That for the purpose of determining liability of the registrant under the Securities Act of 1933 to any purchaser in the initial distribution of the securities:

 

The undersigned registrant undertakes that in a primary offering of securities of the undersigned registrant pursuant to this registration statement, regardless of the underwriting method used to sell the securities to the purchaser, if the securities are offered or sold to such purchaser by means of any of the following communications, the undersigned registrant will be a seller to the purchaser and will be considered to offer or sell such securities to such purchaser:

 

(i)                 Any preliminary prospectus or prospectus of the undersigned registrant relating to the offering required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424;

(ii)                 Any free writing prospectus relating to the offering prepared by or on behalf of the undersigned registrant or used or referred to by the undersigned registrant;

 


 

II-5



(iii) The portion of any other free writing prospectus relating to the offering containing material information about the undersigned registrant or its securities provided by or on behalf of the undersigned registrant; and

(iv) Any other communication that is an offer in the offering made by the undersigned registrant to the purchaser.

     Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the provisions described under Item 24 above, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933 and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933 and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
