NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - UNAUDITED

DECEMBER 31, 2014

 

1.    Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all normal recurring adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the six months ended December 31, 2014 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending June 30, 2015. For further information refer to the financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the Company's Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2014.

 

Going Concern

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis of accounting, which contemplates continuity of operations, realization of assets and liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business. The accompanying financial statements do not reflect any adjustments that might result if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern. The Company does not generate revenue, and has negative cash flows from operations, which raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern and appropriateness of using the going concern basis is dependent upon, among other things, additional cash infusion. The Company has obtained funds from its shareholders during the six months ended December 31, 2014. Management believes this funding will continue, and has also obtained funding from new investors. Management believes the existing shareholders and the prospective new investors will provide the additional cash needed to meet the Company’s obligations as they become due, and will allow the development of its core business. There is no assurance that the Company will be able to continue raising the required capital.

 

2.    SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

This summary of significant accounting policies of HyperSolar, Inc. is presented to assist in understanding the Company’s financial statements. The financial statements and notes are representations of the Company’s management, which is responsible for their integrity and objectivity. These accounting policies conform to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and have been consistently applied in the preparation of the financial statements.

 

Revenue Recognition

The Company recognizes revenue when services are performed, and at the time of shipment of products, provided that evidence of an arrangement exists, title and risk of loss have passed to the customer, fees are fixed or determinable, and collection of the related receivable is reasonably assured. To date, the Company has had no revenues.

 

Cash and Cash Equivalent

The Company considers all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.

 

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the accompanying financial statements. Significant estimates made in preparing these financial statements include the estimate of useful lives of intangible assets, and the deferred tax valuation allowance. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

Disclosures about fair value of financial instruments, requires disclosure of the fair value information, whether or not recognized in the balance sheet, where it is practicable to estimate that value. As of December 31, 2014, the amounts reported for cash, accrued interest and other expenses, notes payables, and derivative liability approximate the fair value because of their short maturities.

 

Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. ASC Topic 820 established a three-tier fair value hierarchy which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (level 3 measurements). These tiers include:

 

Level 1, defined as observable inputs such as quoted prices for identical instruments in active markets;
Level 2, defined as inputs other than quoted prices in active markets that are either directly or indirectly observable such as quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets or quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active; and
Level 3, defined as unobservable inputs in which little or no market data exists, therefore requiring an entity to develop its own assumptions, such as valuations derived from valuation techniques in which one or more significant inputs or significant value drivers are unobservable.

2.   SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

 

We measure certain financial instruments at fair value on a recurring basis. Assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis are as follows at December 31, 2014:

 

   Total   (Level 1)   (Level 2)   (Level 3) 
                 
Assets  $-   $-   $-   $- 
                     
Total assets measured at fair value  $-   $-   $-   $- 
                     
Liabilities                    
                     
Derivative liability   8,690,413    -    -    8,690,413 
Total liabilities measured at fair value  $8,690,413   $-   $-   $8,690,413 

  

The following is a reconciliation of the derivative liability for which Level 3 inputs were used in determining the approximate fair value:

 

Beginning balance as of July 1, 2014  $8,667,274 
Fair value of derivative liabilities issued   1,168,299 
Conversion of notes payable   (514,656)
Gain on change in derivative liability   (630,504)
Ending balance as of December 31, 2014  $8,690,413 

 

Loss per Share Calculations

Loss per Share dictates the calculation of basic earnings per share and diluted earnings per share. Basic earnings per share are computed by dividing income available to common shareholders by the weighted-average number of common shares available. Diluted earnings per share is computed similar to basic earnings per share except that the denominator is increased to include the number of additional common shares that would have been outstanding if the potential common shares had been issued and if the additional common shares were dilutive. No shares for the convertible notes were used in the calculation of the loss per share as they were all anti-dilutive. The Company’s diluted loss per share is the same as the basic loss per share for the six months ended December 31, 2014, as the inclusion of any potential shares would have had an anti-dilutive effect due to the Company generating a loss. As of December 31, 2014, 250,000 options and 453,582,102 in shares issuable from convertible notes are excluded from this calculation.

 

Income Taxes

The Company uses the liability method of accounting for income taxes. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to financial statements carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and operating loss and tax credit carry-forwards. The measurement of deferred tax assets and liabilities is based on provisions of applicable tax law. The measurement of deferred tax assets is reduced, if necessary, by a valuation allowance based on the amount of tax benefits that, based on available evidence, is not expected to be realized.

 

Stock based Compensation

Share-based Payment applies to transactions in which an entity exchanges its equity instruments for goods or services and also applies to liabilities an entity may incur for goods or services that are to follow a fair value of those equity instruments. The Company will be required to follow a fair value approach using an option-pricing model, such as the Black Scholes option valuation model, at the date of a stock option grant. The deferred compensation calculated under the fair value method would then be amortized over the respective vesting period of the stock option.

 

Recently issued pronouncements

Management reviewed accounting pronouncements issued during the year ended June 30, 2014, and adopted the following pronouncements:

 

On August 27, 2014, the Company adopted the amendment to ASU 2014-15 on Presentation of Financial Statements Going Concern (Subtopic 205-40). The amendment provides for guidance to reduce diversity in the timing and content of footnote disclosures. The amendment requires management to assess the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern by incorporating and expanding upon certain principles that are currently in U.S. auditing standards. The Company has to define the term of substantial doubt, which has to be evaluated every reporting period including interim periods. Management has to provide principles for considering the mitigating effect of its plan, and disclose when substantial doubt is alleviated as well as when it is not alleviated. The Company is required to assess managements plan for a period of one year after the financial statements are issued (or available to be issued). The amendment is effective for annual periods ending after December 15, 2016. Early adoption is permitted. The Company does not believe the accounting standards currently adopted will have a material effect on the accompanying condensed financial statements.

The note is convertible into shares of common stock of the Company at a price equal to a variable conversion price of the lesser of $0.0048 per share or fifty percent (50%) of the lowest trading price after the effective date of each respective advance. The note matures six (6) months from the effective dates of each respective advance. The maturity dates in respect to each advance is from May 2015 through December 2015. The Company recorded amortization of debt discount, which was recognized as interest expense in the amount of $105,890 during the six months ended December 31, 2014.

 

ASC Topic 815 provides guidance applicable to convertible debt issued by the Company in instances where the number into which the debt can be converted is not fixed. For example, when a convertible debt converts at a discount to market based on the stock price on the date of conversion, ASC Topic 815 requires that the embedded conversion option of the convertible debt be bifurcated from the host contract and recorded at their fair value. In accounting for derivatives under accounting standards, the Company recorded a liability representing the estimated present value of the conversion feature considering the historic volatility of the Company’s stock, and a discount representing the imputed interest associated with the embedded derivative. The discount is amortized over the life of the convertible debt, and the derivative liability is adjusted periodically according to stock price fluctuations.

 

6.   DERIVATIVE LIABILITIES

 

The convertible notes issued and described in Note 5 do not have fixed settlement provisions because their conversion prices are not fixed. The conversion features have been characterized as derivative liabilities to be re-measured at the end of every reporting period with the change in value reported in the statement of operations. At December 31, 2014, the outstanding fair value of the derivative liabilities amounted to $8,667,274.

 

During the six months ended December 31, 2014, approximately $30,000 of the convertible notes was converted. As a result of the conversion of these notes and the change in fair value of the remaining notes, the Company recorded a gain of $226,861 in the statement of operations for the six months ended December 31, 2014. At December 31, 2014, the fair value of the derivative liability was $8,690,413.

 

For purpose of determining the fair market value of the derivative liability for the embedded conversion, the Company used Black Scholes option valuation model. The significant assumptions used in the Black Scholes valuation of the derivative are as follows:

 

Risk free interest rate   0.03% - 0.25% 
Stock volatility factor   67.08% - 318.08% 
Weighted average expected option life   1 month - 1 year 
Expected dividend yield   None  

  

7.   SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

 

Management evaluated subsequent events as of the date of the financial statements pursuant to ASC TOPIC 855, and reported the following events:

  

On January 8, 2015, the Company issued 17,336,047 shares of common stock upon partial conversion of a convertible note in the amount of principal for $26,000, plus $4,338 in interest.

Overview

 

Inspired by the photosynthetic process that plants use to harness the power of the sun to create energy molecules, we are developing a novel solar-powered particle system that mimics photosynthesis to separate hydrogen from water.  On November 15, 2011, we filed a patent application to protect the intellectual property rights to the production of renewable hydrogen and natural gas using sunlight, water, and carbon dioxide.   

 

Hydrogen is the lightest and abundant chemical element, constituting roughly 75% of the universe's chemical elemental mass (Palmer, D. (13 September 1997). "Hydrogen in the Universe".NASA). However, naturally occurring elemental hydrogen is relatively rare on earth and hydrogen gas is most often produced using fossil fuels. Industrial production is mainly from the steam reforming of natural gas and is usually employed near its production site, with the two largest uses being crude oil processing (hydrocracking) and ammonia production, mostly for the fertilizer market.  We are developing what we believe is a cleaner and greener way to produce this high value product. 

 

In addition to the many industrial uses of hydrogen, one of the most intriguing uses, is for fuel cells for transportation. A fuel cell is a device that converts the chemical energy from a fuel into electricity through a chemical reaction with oxygen or another oxidizing agent, using hydrogen as the most common fuel. In 2013, many automotive manufacturers announced plans to develop hydrogen vehicles including Toyota, Honda, Hyundai, and BMW. Source:

 

(http://www.driveclean.ca.gov/Search_and_Explore/Technologies_and_Fuel_Types/Hydrogen_Fuel_Cell.php)

 

On May 20, 2014 the first Hyundai fuel cell vehicles (FCEV’s) rolled onto U.S. soil marking the first delivery of mass-produced fuel cell hydrogen vehicles in the U.S. market. (Source: http://www.hyundainews.com/us/en-us/Media/PressRelease.aspx?mediaid=40852&title=hyundais-first-mass-produced-tucson-fuel-cell-cuvs-arrive-in-southern-california)

 

Our research is centered on developing a low-cost and submersible hydrogen production particle that can split water molecules under the sun, emulating the core functions of photosynthesis. Each particle is a complete hydrogen generator that contains a novel high voltage solar cell bonded to chemical catalysts by a proprietary encapsulation coating.  We are striving to reach an open circuit voltage (OCV) goal of 1.5 to effectively split the water molecules to produce hydrogen with our technology. On December 9, 2014, we announced that we had reached open circuit voltage of 1.25. We are currently working on increasing the OCV to 1.5 and building a larger proof of concept prototype of our technology.

 

On November 3. 2014, we announced that we had added researchers at the University of Iowa, to help support our current research efforts.

 

On December 16, 2014, we announced that we had extended our agreement with the University of California, Santa Barbara.

Market Opportunity

 

Hydrogen has a number of applications from chemical processing, petroleum recovery and refining, metal production and fabrication, aerospace, and fuel cells. The sectors with the greatest demand for hydrogen are petroleum refineries for hydrocracking and ammonia production for fertilizer. Transportation fuel is an emerging sector which we believe has an enormous potential in the future.  We believe fuel cell technology will be the major growth driver of hydrogen in the future as many major automobile manufacturers such as Honda, Hyundai, BMW and Toyota bring hydrogen powered cars to market.

 

The Hydrogen Generation Market will grow from an estimated $103.5 Billion in 2014 to $138.2 Billion by 2019, with a CAGR of 5.9%. (Markets and Markets Research; Hydrogen Generation Market).

 

Critical Accounting Policies

 

Our discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based upon our financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. 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 disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities. On an ongoing basis, we evaluate our estimates, including those related to impairment of property, plant and equipment, intangible assets, deferred tax assets and fair value computation using the Black Scholes option pricing model. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions, such as the trading value of our common stock and estimated future undiscounted cash flows, that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying value of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions; however, we believe that our estimates, including those for the above-described items, are reasonable.

 

Revenue Recognition

 

Revenue on product sales is recognized when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, such as when a purchase order or contract is received from the customer, the selling price is fixed, title to the goods has changed and there is a reasonable assurance of collection of the sales proceeds.  We obtain written purchase authorizations from our customers for a specified amount of product at a specified price and consider delivery to have occurred at the time of shipment.  Revenue is recognized at shipment and we record a reserve for estimated sales returns, which is reflected as a reduction of revenue at the time of revenue recognition. 

 

Use of Estimates

 

In accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, management utilizes estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements as well as the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. These estimates and assumptions relate to recording net revenue, collectibility of accounts receivable, useful lives and impairment of tangible and intangible assets, accruals, income taxes, inventory realization, stock-based compensation expense, Black Scholes valuation model inputs, and other factors. Management believes it has exercised reasonable judgment in deriving these estimates. Consequently, a change in conditions could affect these estimates.

 

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

The Company's cash, accounts payable, accrued interest, and note payable are stated at cost which approximates fair value due to the short-term nature of these instruments.

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

 

Management reviewed the recently issued accounting pronouncements during the three months ended December 31, 2014, as disclosed in the Notes to the financial statements included in this report.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

As of December 31, 2014, we had a working capital deficit of $9,464,827 as compared to $9,262,871 as of June 30, 2014. This increase in working capital deficit of $201,956 was due primarily to an increase in cash, accrued expenses, convertible notes, and non-cash derivative liability, offset with a decrease in accounts payable.

 

Cash flow used in operating activities was $249,406 for the six months ended December 31, 2014 and $199,806 for the prior period ended December 31, 2013. The increase in cash used by operating activities was primarily due to a decrease in prepaid expenses, accounts payable, accrued expenses, and amortization of debt discount with an increase in deposits, and gain on derivative liability. The Company has had no revenues.

 

Cash used in investing activities for the six months ended December 31, 2014 was $0, compared to $2,020 for the prior period ended December 31, 2013.

 

Cash provided by financing activities during the six months ended December 31, 2014 was $250,000 and $243,500 for the prior period ended December 31, 2013. The increase in financing activities was due to equity financing with convertible notes through private placements during the current period.

 

Our financial statements as of December 31, 2014 have been prepared under the assumption that we will continue as a going concern for the year ended June 30, 2015. HJ Associates & Consultants LLP, in their report dated September 23, 2014, on our financial statements, included an explanatory paragraph expressing substantial doubt in our ability to continue as a going concern without additional capital becoming available. Our ability to continue as a going concern ultimately is dependent on our ability to generate a profit which is dependent upon our ability to obtain additional equity or debt financing, attain further operating efficiencies and, ultimately, to achieve profitable operations. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

 

We believe our current cash balance as of February 4, 2015 will fund our operations for the next sixty days as we continue working to develop a prototype of our technology. As a result of our inability to raise sufficient financing in our third fiscal quarter, our CEO and certain vendors have not been fully compensated for their services. We are seeking further financing through the sales of our securities. The sale of additional equity securities could result in additional dilution to our stockholders. The incurrence of indebtedness would result in increased debt service obligations and could result in operating and financing covenants that would restrict our operations. There can be no assurance that financing will be available in amounts and on terms acceptable to us, or at all. To the extent that additional capital is raised through the sale of equity or convertible debt securities, the issuance of these securities could result in further dilution to our stockholders. If we are unable to obtain additional financing, we may be forced to curtail our operations.

 

PLAN OF OPERATION AND FINANCING NEEDS

 

Our plan of operation within the next twelve months is to further research, develop, and protect our technology. 

 

Working with consultants and academic institutions, we are working towards our goal of open-circuit voltage of 1.5 volts in our self–contained particles for splitting water molecules. We will be looking to add further expertise to our team in the near future.

 

In tandem with work on our self-contained particles, we will be working on the system side of the H2 Generator and production unit and larger prototype.

 

Our financing needs consist of general operating expenses, sponsorship agreements with academic institutions, patent prosecution and IP protection and paying consultants.
