ITEM 1. BUSINESS

 

Background

 

We were incorporated in the State of Nevada on May 5, 1998, under the name "Octillion Corp." On December 2, 2008, we amended our Articles of Incorporation to effect a change of name to New Energy Technologies, Inc. Effective as of March 9, 2015, we amended our Articles of Incorporation to change our name to SolarWindow Technologies, Inc. The accompanying consolidated financial statements include our accounts and those of our wholly owned subsidiaries.

 

We have been developing two (2) sustainable electricity generating systems. These novel technologies are branded as SolarWindow™ and MotionPower™. On March 2, 2015, we announced that we will exclusively focus on further developing and bringing to market products derived from our SolarWindow™ technology.

 

 
3
 

 

At the time of this filing, our proprietary patent-pending SolarWindow™ transparent electricity-generating coatings are the subject of 14 U.S. and international patent filings.

 

Our SolarWindow™ technology provides the ability to harvest light energy from the sun and artificial sources and generate electricity from a see-through, semi-transparent, coating of organic photovoltaic ("OPV") solar cells applied to glass and plastics. Our SolarWindow™ technology is the subject of a patent pending technology. Initially being developed for application on glass surfaces, SolarWindow™ could potentially be used on any of the more than 85 million commercial and residential buildings in the United States alone.

 

The development of our SolarWindow™ technology has advanced initially through our Sponsored Research Agreement with the University of Florida and currently pursuant to a Stevenson-Wydler Cooperative Research and Development Agreement ("CRADA") with the Alliance for Sustainable Energy, LLC, which is the operator of The National Renewable Energy Laboratory ("NREL"). For a description of these agreements, see "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations."

 

We have achieved numerous important milestones and overcome major technical challenges in the development of our SolarWindow™ technology, including the ability to generate electricity on glass while remaining see-through. We have also successfully scaled-up our technology from a single solar cell – only one-quarter the size of a grain of rice – to a working array of solar cells which form a one-foot by one-foot early working prototype – our largest-ever SolarWindow™.

 

A pane of glass coated with our SolarWindow™ technology is fabricated by applying our see-through, electricity-generating coatings onto glass surfaces at room temperature and pressure, a significant technical achievement which may provide a manufacturing advantage over expensive and cumbersome high temperature and high positive or negative pressure-sensitive manufacturing methods common to conventional solar photovoltaic ("PV") manufacturing.

 

In order to advance the technical development and subsequent commercialization of our SolarWindow™ products, we are actively seeking technology and product licensing arrangements with research institutions, commercial partners, and organizations with established technical competencies, market reach, and mature distribution networks in the solar PV, building-integrated PV, and alternative and renewable energy market industries. We have successfully fabricated our latest working window prototype using a faster, rapid scale-up process for applying solution-based coatings.

 

Our Key Milestones

 

We have been working to invent, design, test, and prototype our SolarWindow™ technology for application to commercial flat glass in tall towers since November 2006. We have achieved the following important milestones in our development efforts:

 

 

·

entered into a CRADA with Alliance for Sustainable Energy, LLC, the operator of NREL under its U.S. Department of Energy contract.

 

 

 

 

·

filed fourteen (14) patent applications for our own electricity-generating coating and SolarWindow™ technology development efforts that are independent of USF sponsored research and NREL CRADA research.

 

 

 

 

·

announced that we have expanded the use of our SolarWindow™ coatings to include two (2) new product lines for commercial and military aircraft, and the safety and security of military pilots.

 

 

 

 

·

determined the correct combination of compounds to create a single solar cell smaller than one-quarter the size of a grain of rice, which can successfully generate electricity on glass while remaining stable and see-through.

 

 

 

 

·

scaled-up from a single solar cell to a one-inch by one-inch "array". An "array" is an arrangement of multiple solar cells rather than an individual single solar cell.

 

 

 

 

·

developed a method for spraying our see-through electricity-generating coatings onto glass surfaces at room temperature and pressure, a significant technical achievement which may provide a manufacturing advantage over expensive and cumbersome high temperature-specific and high positive or negative pressure-sensitive manufacturing methods common to conventional solar PV manufacturing.

 

 
4
 

 

 

·

invented and fabricated novel contacts that conduct electricity on SolarWindow™, yet remain see-through. Conventional contacts for conducting electricity use materials which generally block visibility and inhibit transparency.

 

 

 

 

·

engineered new methods for absorbing light energy to improve the flow of electrons (negatively charged particles), a process fundamental to generating electricity necessary for power appliances and fixtures.

 

 

 

 

·

discovered new, solution-based compounds that successfully mobilize the electrons necessary for generating electricity on SolarWindow™ and eliminate the use of other materials that could be prone to breakdown. We have been able to produce these compounds without the use of expensive starting materials, and have discovered methods that allow for reproducibility.

 

 

 

 

·

created methods for increasing power output by maximizing the number of solar-cells present in our SolarWindow™ array for a defined surface area.

 

 

 

 

·

successfully scaled-up SolarWindow™ prototypes from a one-inch square to a twelve (12)-inch square (144 square inches in surface area).

 

 

 

 

·

generate electricity on flexible plastic using novel see-through SolarWindow™ coatings.

 

 

 

 

·

developed new SolarWindow™ coatings with increased transparency and improved color.

 

 

 

 

·

successfully fabricated its latest working window prototype using a faster, rapid scale-up process for applying solution-based coatings.

 

 

 

 

·

produced the largest OPV device ever fabricated at NREL in the institute's history.

 

 

 

 

·

successfully collected and transported electricity using a virtually 'invisible' conductive wiring system developed for SolarWindow™.

 

On September 16, 2010, we publicly unveiled a working four-inch by four-inch prototype of our proprietary SolarWindow™ technology at USF. Scientists at the event powered lights on a scale-model house by exposing our see-through SolarWindow™ to artificial light from fluorescent lamps, mimicking lighting typically installed inside offices. In artificial light, SolarWindow™ technology outperforms today's commercial solar and thin-films by as much as tenfold under low-intensity irradiance.

 

Researchers also repeatedly opened and closed window shades, successfully powering LED lights each time SolarWindow™ was exposed to natural light. This demonstration mimicked outdoor exposure such as sunlight on the exterior façade of commercial buildings – our initial target market and, we believe, a promising early application of the technology.

 

Scientists at the debut event not only demonstrated the ability to generate "voltage" to power lighting, but also revealed SolarWindowTM capacity to produce "current" necessary for powering mechanical devices and appliances. Researchers successfully powered the mechanical rotor blades of a small helicopter using only a single, small-scale SolarWindow™ prototype exposed to a solar simulator.

 

In February 2012, we successfully developed the largest OPV device fabricated at NREL, measuring 170cm2, approximately 14 times larger than previous devices produced at NREL. In March 2012, we, together with NREL researchers, successfully collected and transported electricity using a virtually 'invisible' conductive wiring system developed for SolarWindow™. The ability to transport electricity on glass windows while remaining see-through is especially important to the eventual deployment of an aesthetically pleasing commercial product.

 

On March 8, 2014, we made public never-before-seen images of our largest area, high-performance SolarWindow™ arrays. These SolarWindow™ arrays measure over 232 cm² – a significant achievement for size, improving upon our previous achievements at NREL, and produced with highly-uniform, colored tints preferred by commercial window manufacturers for installation on skyscrapers, worldwide. Among the most important criteria for developing SolarWindow™ coating applications for today's skyscrapers is providing a set of neutral colors that remain see-through and are uniform in fabrication. We revealed a record-breaking, largest-area see-through, OPV SolarWindow™ array that addresses tall-tower and commercial building glass requirements, they also bear the promise of facile scale-up capabilities and manufacturability. This SolarWindow™ array is over 35% larger than our previously-fabricated, 170 cm² working module achievement. That prior module was already 14 times larger than the then-previous largest-area OPV module ever fabricated at the NREL.

In September, 2014 we demonstrated SolarWindow™ electricity-generating coatings to Congress during the first ever National Lab Day on Capitol Hill. National Lab Day was cosponsored by the U.S. Department of Energy. On April 8, 2015, Engineers and research scientists at the University of North Carolina Charlotte Energy Production and Infrastructure Center ("UNCC-EPIC") have independently reviewed and validated our proprietary Model. The Model calculates a financial payback of less than one year for our transparent electricity-generating SolarWindow™ technology. UNCC-EPIC team of engineering and science experts, who independently validated the modeling assumptions, reference data, and technical basis important to calculating our one-year financial payback period for SolarWindow™ systems. UNCC-EPIC validation also confirmed the proficiency of our methodology for modeling the performance of competing PV technologies.

 

In May, 2015 we announced plans to replace traditional electrical wiring connections with a simplified next-generation system for collecting the power produced by its see-through electricity-generating windows. In addition to reducing costs, ease of electrical installation will be important to window fabricators, glass installers (i.e., glaziers), electricians, and maintenance personnel. The replacement of today's cumbersome methods with our easy power connection system ('module interconnects') is also important for new construction and retrofit applications of SolarWindow™ electricity-generating window modules on skyscrapers and tall towers.

 

On August 20, 2015, we featured a first-ever demonstration of our working, electricity-generating window unit, during our webcast. Webcast participants witnessed clean electricity being generated on a demonstration window unit. Its glass is tinted in a high-demand color and framed in aluminum, popular with architects and developers of commercial towers – our target market. Participants also heard us explain exactly how we plan to: generate revenue, work towards product development and getting SolarWindow™ ready for commercial manufacturing, build shareholder value, expand our name recognition and branding plans, increase investor outreach, engage media, and outlined important next steps for commercialization and bring SolarWindow™ products to market.

 

SolarWindow™ generates electricity by harnessing the energy of the sun in order to create a "photovoltaic" effect. Photovoltaics are best known as a method for generating electric power by using solar cells to convert energy from the sun into a flow of electrons. Typically, conventional PV power is generated by making use of solar modules composed of a number of cells containing PV and electricity-conducting materials. These materials are usually opaque (i.e., not see-through). Our researchers have replaced these materials with compounds that allow our SolarWindow™ technology to remain see-through, while generating electricity.

 

Products Derived from our SolarWindowTM Technology

 

We are currently developing seven (7) products (collectively, the "SolarWindow™ Products") derived from our SolarWindow™ technology:

 

 

·

SolarWindow™ – Commercial – A flat glass product for installation in new commercial towers under construction and replacement windows;

 

 

 

 

·

SolarWindowTM – Structural Glass – Structural glass walls and curtains for tall structures;

 

 

 

 

·

SolarWindowTM – Architectural Glass – Textured and decorative interior glass walls, room dividers, etc.;

 

 

 

 

·

SolarWindow™ – Residential – A window glass for installation in new residential homes under construction and replacement windows;

 

 

 

 

·

SolarWindow™ – Flex – Flexible films which may be applied directly onto glass, similar to aftermarket window tint films, for retrofit to existing commercial towers, buildings, and residential homes;

 

 

 

 

·

SolarWindow™ – BIPV – Components associated with BIPV applications in homes, buildings, and office towers; and

 

 

 

 

·

SolarWindow™ Retrofit Veneer - Transparent, tinted, and flexible veneers that installers can apply directly over top of existing windows on tall towers and skyscrapers.

 

Our focus is first on the development and deployment of SolarWindow™-Commercial, Structural, and Architectural products. Our product development efforts have already produced early working prototypes for these applications. Commercialization of the SolarWindowTM technology will require significant further research, development and testing, and we must ascertain whether the SolarWindowTM technology can actually form the basis for a commercially viable technology or product.

 

 
6
 

 

SolarWindow™ Retrofit Veneer products will be engineered as transparent, tinted, flexible veneers that installers can apply directly over top of existing windows on tall towers and skyscrapers. This expanded product line broadens our market reach beyond new and replacement installations, to include windows currently installed on the estimated five million commercial buildings constructed in the U.S. alone. This retrofit veneer product will be developed in addition to the SolarWindow™ products already under commercialization.

 

Our Industry and Market Opportunity

 

Overview

 

Global energy consumption is expected to increase 53% from 2008 to 2035, according to the Energy Information Administration, 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.

 

From a total glass market perspective, the world demand for flat glass is forecast to rise 6.3% per year through 2016 to 8.3 billion square meters. The global flat glass market is estimated to be worth $8.3 billion by 2016. Importantly, the global market value of fabricated flat glass is forecast to exceed $100 billion in 2016.

 

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; 50% of the total U.S. electrical generation relies on coal, a fossil fuel. 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. A forecast of US electricity demand shows an expected increase is usage of 40% by 2032.

 

We believe our products uniquely address a growing market opportunity for technologies able to generate sustainable 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.

 

The Market Opportunity for our SolarWindow™ Technology and Products

 

There are no commercially marketed OPV see-through glass windows capable of generating electricity available for sale in the United States. We believe our SolarWindow™ technology and products could be uniquely positioned as first-to-market, if commercially launched.

 

Unprecedented levels of government initiatives, heightened residential demand for green construction, and improvements in sustainable materials are driving green building. Because buildings account for almost 50% of the energy consumed in developed countries, governments are putting increased focus on legislation and policies to improve their energy efficiency, according to the United States Environmental Protection Agency. In North America, initiatives such as the environmental building rating system (LEED) run by the U.S. Green Building Council are helping to transform the market for added-value glazing, and this trend is expected to continue. We anticipate similar opportunities in Europe, through the development of a European Union-wide energy labeling system for windows. The growth for Green Buildings are rapidly increasing: 97.5% market share is in retrofits and 2.5% market share in new buildings.

 

Our SolarWindow™ Products are under development for application to glass surfaces in such buildings, often referred to as "architectural flat glass" and "fabricated glass products". In the United States, the country's ten largest cities have more than 444 million square feet of architectural glass, as estimated in a 2010 industry report on flat glass by Pilkington, a major global glass manufacturer. This market is growing in volume, with global growth of around 4-5% annually, with Europe, China and North America accounting for over 70% of global demand, according to the same report. The global flat glass market is estimated to be worth $8.3 billion by 2016.

Our Competitive Strengths

 

We believe that the following strengths enable us to compete successfully in the alternative energy industry:

 

 

·

Our products are first-of-their-kind solutions for generating sustainable electricity. There are no commercially-available products for sale in competition to our technologies and products, and therefore, our SolarWindow™ and MotionPower™ products may be positioned as 'first-to-market.'

 

 

 

 

·

Our products have unique characteristics, not readily-achievable by other technologies. Our SolarWindow™ products generate electricity while remaining see-through, and are able to produce electricity from both natural and artificial light. These traits are unique to our products and technologies, and have not been replicated by any commercially-available technology.

 

 

 

 

·

Our SolarWindow™ products are designed for application on the vast glass facades of commercial skyscrapers and are not confined to installation on limited rooftop space. The installation of typical roof-rack PV modules is often constrained by limited roof-top areas on commercial skyscrapers. In contrast, our SolarWindowTM Products may be applied to the entire vertical glass façades of skyscrapers.

 

 

 

 

·

The electricity generated by our technologies is compatible for use with existing energy infrastructure. Our SolarWindow™ and MotionPower™ products are under development for seamless applications in order to avoid burdening potential customers with special utility management systems

 

 

 

 

·

SolarWindow™ repurposes passive windows as see-through energy generators.

 

 

 

 

·

Attractive, 'passive' product which addresses growing energy demand.

 

 

 

 

·

Anticipated price point should help deliver greater energy and cost savings when compared to alternatives.

 

 

 

 

·

SolarWindow™ technology offers a sustainable and disruptive clean technology play.

 

 

 

 

·

Being developed for high volume and speed production using low-cost, ambient area, manufacturing techniques.

 

 

 

 

·

Go-to-Market strategy focuses on deployment using glass companies in an existing large global market with total glass market focus (Raw Glass, Handling, Tempering, Processing, Glazing/Assembly, Installation).

 

 

 

 

·

The SolarWindow™ product is the element of value is the inherent benefit of turning a passive window into an active electricity-generating window.

Our Business Strategy

 

Our goal is to complete the product development phase for our SolarWindow™ technologies and then, to the extent warranted, work towards commercial launch of SolarWindow™ products. Key elements of our business strategy include:

 

 

·

Partner with research institutions, product development firms, and others with proven technology expertise. We are currently working with scientists at NREL for the ongoing development of our SolarWindow™ Products. We will seek to engage additional firms and institutions with important technical and product development competencies as needed.

 

 

 

 

·

Identify partnerships for technology out-licensing and in-licensing opportunities. We are actively engaged in identifying potential industry or commercial partnerships for the out-licensing of our technologies, or, if warranted, the in-licensing of certain enabling technologies that could help accelerate our product development programs by reducing our need for internal research and development

 

 

 

 

·

Foster commercial partnerships with industry partners. Work to develop commercial partnerships with third-parties, which we believe could help us accelerate the development of our sales and distribution pipeline for any products we are able to develop.

 

 

 

 

·

Develop pricing models that capitalize on available energy subsidies in order to make our products affordable andattractive to end-users. In developing pricing strategies for any products we are able to develop, we would seek to provide our potential customers with access to various subsidies, government incentives, tax credits, and other related financial mechanisms.

 

 

 

 

·

Develop cost-effective and efficient supply-chain management and manufacturing processes. Both our SolarWindow™ and MotionPower™ technologies and products would require manufacturing systems and supply-chain management expertise. We have begun to strategize and work towards addressing these needs in a cost-effective and efficient manner.

 

 

 

 

·

Identify and potentially acquire strategic and/or complementary technologies. We are actively engaged in identifying technologies which may be strategic and/or complementary to our SolarWindow™ and/or MotionPower™ technologies for potential acquisition.

 

 

·

Raise capital in new, engaging, and innovative ways; this process involves building shareholder value.

 

 

 

 

·

Formalize strategic relationships with glass, energy, and building industries - partnerships can provide commercial reach.

 

 

 

 

·

Work with strategic partners to design and build SolarWindow™ products that are ready for commercial production.

Competition for SolarWindow™ Technology and Products

 

Competition in the solar PV industry is growing. Although we are not aware of other products utilizing technology substantially similar to our SolarWindow™ technology, 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, titanium dioxide, and copper indium diselenide, and others to generate electricity from the sun's light. Given the 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, experience in obtaining regulatory approvals for their products, operating experience, research and development and marketing capabilities name recognition and production capabilities. We will face competition from companies marketing existing products or developing new products which may render our technologies (and products) obsolete. The descriptions 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:

 

 

·

BELECTRIC Solarkraftwerke GmbH (through the acquisition of Konarka Technologies, Inc. and its assets) is focused on the development and advancement of nano-enabled polymer PV materials that are lightweight, flexible and more versatile than traditional solar materials. Following Belectric's takeover of Konarka Technologies, the company plans to set up OPV production facilities in Germany in the coming months (Ref: October 24, 2012). Belectric has subsidiaries in seventeen (17) countries.

Solarmer is developing organic photovoltaic or OPV technology, targeting portable power, off-grid power, and building integrated photovoltaics (BIPV) markets. Solarmer will utilize its materials, devices, and roll-to-roll process technology to manufacture OPV modules with strategic partners throughout the world. Solarmer sells and provides OPV modules to product developers and system integrators who will integrate them into various products.

 

 

 

 

·

ONYX Solar is a new type of solar company, while they are not an OPV material company, the company is considered a competitor in the space for generating power under low light conditions. Their current technology is mixture of semitransparent amorphous Si, Crystalline Si and possibly Copper, Indium, Gallium, Selenide (CIS or CIGS) and is also working on OPV. They are currently in production, and are generating revenue.

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 licensee or 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, and market access outreach programs 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, marketing, distribution and patent position. Another important factor will be the timing of market introduction of any SolarWindowTM products we develop. Accordingly, the speed with which we can develop our SolarWindow™ products, complete safety approvals processes and ultimately supply commercial quantities of any products we develop 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.

Proprietary Assets

 

SolarWindowTM

 

Our SolarWindow™ technology is the subject of fourteen (14) patent filings.

 

MotionPowerTM

 

Our MotionPower™ technology, harvests "kinetic" or "motion" energy from vehicles when they slow down before coming to a stop and converts this captured energy into electricity. Our MotionPower™ systems can be engineered as either discreet or disruptive products, depending upon customer specifications. These systems are also designed to function independently of daily management, and do not require the presence of wind, sunlight, or other natural environmental influences in order to function. Although we are not currently further developing the MotionPowerTM technology, we are assessing potential market and commercialization options available to us with respect to the MotionPowerTM, and the technology is the subject of fifty-nine (59) patent filings.

 

Government Regulation

 

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 of the manufacturing and marketing of any products derived from such research and development activities.

 

The production and marketing of SolarWindow™ technology derived products would be 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 regulations, National Electrical Code as approved as an American National Standard by the American National Standards Institute or ANSI/NFPA-70, certification by Underwriters Laboratories and the Society of Automotive Engineers, 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.

Dividend Policy

 

We have not paid any dividends on our common stock and our Board of Directors (the "Board") 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 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:

 

 

·

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.

 

 
13
 

 

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.

 

Securities Authorized for Issuance Under Equity Compensation Plans

 

The following sets forth certain information regarding the common stock that may be issued upon the exercise of options, warrants and other rights that have been or may be granted to employees, directors or consultants under all of our existing equity compensation plans. The 2006 Incentive Stock Option Plan (see below) is our only equity based compensation plan as of August 31, 2015.

 

2006 Incentive Stock Option Plan (Equity Compensation Plan Approved by Security Holders)

 

On October 10, 2006, our Board adopted and approved, and on February 7, 2011, a majority of our shareholders approved, our 2006 Incentive Stock Option Plan (the "2006 Plan") that provides for the grant of stock options to employees, directors, officers and consultants. The 2006 Plan provides for the granting of options to purchase a maximum of 5,000,000 shares of our common stock. Stock options granted to employees under the 2006 Plan generally vest over one to five years or as otherwise determined by the plan administrator. Stock options to purchase shares of our common stock expire no later than ten years after the date of grant.

 

The per share exercise price for each stock option is determined by the Board and may not be below the closing price of our common stock on the date of grant, or, if our common stock is not traded on the date of grant, the first day of active trading following the date of grant.

 

We measure all stock-based compensation awards using a fair value method on the date of grant and recognize such expense in our consolidated financial statements over the requisite service period. We use the Black-Scholes option pricing model to calculate the fair value of stock option grants. The Black-Scholes option pricing model requires management to make assumptions regarding the option lives, expected volatility, and risk-free interest rates, all of which impact the fair value of the option and, ultimately, the expense that will be recognized over the life of the option.

 

The risk-free interest rate is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant for a bond with a similar term. We do not anticipate declaring dividends in the foreseeable future. Volatility is calculated based on the historical weekly closing stock prices for the same period as the expected life of the option. We use the "simplified" method for determining the expected term of our "plain vanilla" stock options. We recognize compensation expense for only the portion of stock options that are expected to vest. Therefore, we apply an estimated forfeiture rate that is derived from historical employee termination data and adjusted for expected future employee turnover rates. If the actual number of forfeitures differs from those estimated by us, additional adjustments to compensation expense may be required in future periods.

ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

 

The following Management's Discussion and Analysis ("MD&A") is intended to help the reader understand the consolidated results of operations and financial condition of SolarWindow Technologies, Inc. and its subsidiaries. The MD&A is provided as a supplement to, and should be read in conjunction with financial statements and the accompanying notes to the financial statements included in this Form 10-K.

 

Our discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations is based on 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 and expenses and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. Management bases its 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.

 

Overview

 

We are a pre-revenue company developing our proprietary SolarWindow™ technology as the world's first-of-their-kind systems able to generate electricity on glass windows and flexible plastic while remaining see-through. Our SolarWindow™ technology provides the ability to harvest light energy from the sun and artificial sources and generate electricity from a see-through, semi-transparent, coating of OPV solar cells applied to glass and plastics.

 

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.

 

 
16
 

 

Our product development programs involve ongoing research and development ("R&D") and product development efforts, and the commitment of significant resources to support the extensive invention, design, engineering, testing, prototyping, and intellectual property initiatives carried-out by our contract engineers, scientists, and consultants.

 

Ultimately, we plan to market any SolarWindow™ technology products through co-marketing, co-promotion, licensing and distribution arrangements with third party collaborators. We believe that this approach could provide immediate access to pre-existing distribution channels, therefore potentially increasing market penetration and commercial acceptance of our products and enabling us to avoid expending significant funds for development of a large sales and marketing organization.

 

We cannot accurately predict the amount of funding or the time required to successfully commercialize our SolarWindow™ technology. The actual cost and time required to commercialize our SolarWindow™ technology may vary significantly depending on, among other things, the results of our R&D efforts, the cost of developing, acquiring, or licensing various enabling technologies, changes in the focus and direction of our R&D programs, competitive and technological advances, the cost of filing, prosecuting, defending and enforcing claims with respect to patents, the regulatory approval process and manufacturing, marketing and other costs associated with commercialization of these technologies. Because of this uncertainty, even if financing is available to us, we may secure insufficient funding to effectuate our business plan.

 

As of August 31, 2015, we had negative working capital of $2,898,860 and cash of $228,465. Subsequent to our quarter end, we received $400,000 of bridge financing from Kalen Capital Corporation. Based upon current and near term anticipated level of operations and expenditures, we believe that cash on hand should be sufficient to enable us to continue operations through January 2016. Management recognizes that in order for us 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 for 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.

 

Research and Related Agreements

 

We are a party to certain agreements related to the development of our SolarWindow™ technology.

 

Stevenson-Wydler Cooperative Research and Development Agreement with the Alliance for Sustainable Energy

 

In efforts to advance the commercial development of the SolarWindow™ technology, on March 18, 2011, we entered into a CRADA with Alliance for Sustainable Energy, LLC ("Alliance"), the operator of NREL under its U.S. Department of Energy contract. Under terms of the CRADA, NREL researchers will make use of our exclusive intellectual property ("IP"), newly developed IP, and NREL's background IP in order to work towards specific product development goals. Under the terms of the CRADA, we agreed to reimburse Alliance for filing fees associated with all documented, out-of-pocket costs directly related to patent application preparation and filings, and maintenance of the patent applications.

 

On January 16, 2013, we entered into a modification to the CRADA for the purpose of extending the date pursuant to which NREL's researchers will make use of our exclusive IP and NREL's background IP. As part of the extension, we advanced $150,000 to Alliance as a retainer, which will be used once the development goals are met. Until such time, however, Alliance bills us monthly for R&D related costs as they are incurred.

 

 
17
 

 

On March 6, 2013, we entered into Phase II of our CRADA with Alliance. Under the terms of the agreement, researchers will additionally work towards:

 

 

·

further improving SolarWindow™ technology efficiency and transparency;

 

 

 

 

·

optimizing electrical power (current and voltage) output;

 

 

 

 

·

optimizing the application of the active layer coatings which make it possible for SolarWindow™ coatings to generate electricity on glass surfaces;

 

 

 

 

·

developing improved electricity-generating coatings by enhancing performance, processing, reliability, and durability;

 

 

 

 

·

optimizing SolarWindow™ coating performance on flexible substrates; and

 

 

 

 

·

developing high speed and large area roll-to-roll (R2R) and sheet-to-sheet (S2S) coating methods required for commercial-scale building integrated photovoltaic ("BIPV") products and windows.

Selling, General and Administrative

 

Selling, general and administrative costs include all expenditures incurred other than research and development related costs, including costs related to personnel, professional fees, travel and entertainment, public company costs, insurance and other office related costs. During 2015, we experienced an increase in personnel costs and patent and legal fees offset by decreases in investor communications related fees, travel and general costs.

 

 
18
 

 

Research and Development

 

Research and development ("R&D") costs represent costs incurred to develop our SolarWindow™ technology and are incurred pursuant to our research agreements and agreements with other third party providers and certain internal R&D cost allocations. Payments under these agreements include salaries and benefits for R&D personnel, allocated overhead, contract services and other costs. R&D costs are expensed when incurred, except for non-refundable advance payments for future research and development activities which are capitalized and recognized as expense as the related services are performed. R&D costs increased during 2015 as a result of increasing SolarWindow™ research and development activities.

 

Stock Compensation

 

Expense associated with equity based transactions is calculated and expensed in our financial statements as required pursuant to various accounting rules and is non-cash in nature. Stock compensation represents the expense associated with the amortization of our stock options, issuance of common stock and issuance of warrants to purchase our common stock. Stock compensation expense increased in 2015 primarily due to the current year absence of a prior year reversal of approximately $357,000 of expense associated with the forfeiture of stock options and absence of a 2015 option issuance to our directors offset by the 2015 increase in stock compensation expense associated with the January 1, 2014 grant of stock options to Mr. Conklin.

"Interest expense" relates to the stated interest of our convertible promissory notes and bridge note. "Interest expense - accretion of debt discount" represents the accretion of the discount applied to our notes as a result of the issuance of detachable warrants and the beneficial conversion feature contained in our notes. The amounts under each column relate to the 2013 Note and amendment thereto and to a lesser extent to the Series L Warrants issued in connection with the $600,000 bridge loan financing on March 4, 2015. See "NOTE 2 – Debt" to our Consolidated Financial Statements contained in this Form 10-K.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

We have an accumulated deficit of $29,039,014 through August 31, 2015. Included in the deficit are non-cash expenses totaling $10,985,992 relating to the issuance of stock for services, compensatory stock options, warrants granted for value and accretion of debt discount. Due to the "start-up" nature of our business, we expect to incur losses as we continue development of our technologies.

 

These conditions raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. Management recognizes that in order for us 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 maintain and/or expand the range and scope of our business operations; however, there is no assurance that such additional funds will be available for us on acceptable terms, if at all. If we are unable to raise additional capital when needed 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 August 31, 2015, we had a cash and cash equivalent balance of $228,465. Subsequent to our year end, we received $400,000 of bridge financing from Kalen Capital Corporation. We have financed our operations primarily from the sale of equity and debt securities.

 

Net cash used in operating activities was $2,594,725 for the year ended August 31, 2015, compared to net cash used in operating activities of $2,545,379 for the year ended August 31, 2014. The increase in cash used in operating activities of $49,346 substantially reflects increases in amounts paid for research and development expenses.

 

Net cash used in investing activities was $15,561 for the year ended August 31, 2015, compared to net cash used in investing activities of $16,877 for the year ended August 31, 2014. Cash used in operating activities substantially reflects increases in amounts paid for research and development equipment.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

 

To the Board of Directors 

SolarWindow Technologies, Inc.

Columbia, Maryland

 

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of SolarWindow Technologies, Inc. and Subsidiaries ("the Company") as of August 31, 2015 and 2014, and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders' equity (deficit), and cash flows for the years then ended. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits.

 

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the 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 SolarWindow Technologies, Inc. and Subsidiaries as of August 31, 2015 and 2014, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for the years then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.

 

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company does not have positive cash flows from operating activities, 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 consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

SOLARWINDOW TECHNOLOGIES, INC.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

FOR THE YEARS ENDED AUGUST 31, 2015 AND 2014

 

NOTE 1 - Organization, Recent Accounting Pronouncements, Going Concern and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

 

Organization

 

SolarWindow 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. Effective as of March 9, 2015, the Company amended its Articles of Incorporation to change its name to SolarWindow Technologies, Inc. The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries, Kinetic Energy Corporation ("KEC") and New Energy Solar Corporation.

 

KEC was incorporated on June 19, 2008, in the State of Nevada and holds the patents related to the Company's MotionPower™ technology. The Company's business activities related to the MotionPower™ technology are conducted through KEC.

 

New Energy Solar was incorporated on February 9, 2009, in the State of Florida and entered into agreements with The University of South Florida Research Foundation ("USF") to sponsor research related to the Company's SolarWindow™ technology. On February 18, 2015, the Company terminated the license agreement entered into with USF which originated on June 21, 2010.

 

On March 9, 2015, the Company changed its name to "SolarWindow Technologies, Inc." in order to appropriately align the corporate name and brand identity. The Company's ticker symbol changed to WNDW.

 

The Company has been developing two (2) sustainable electricity generating systems. These novel technologies are branded as SolarWindow™ and MotionPower™. On March 2, 2015, the Company announced its exclusive focus on SolarWindow™.

 

The Company's SolarWindow™ technology provides the ability to harvest light energy from the sun and artificial sources and generate electricity from a see-through, semi-transparent, coating of organic photovoltaic solar cells. The Company's SolarWindow™ transparent electricity generating coatings are the subject of patent pending technologies. Initially being developed for application on glass surfaces, SolarWindow™ coatings could potentially be used on any of the more than 85 million commercial and residential buildings in the United States alone.

 

The Company's SolarWindow™ product development programs involve ongoing research and development efforts, and the commitment of significant resources to support the extensive invention, design, engineering, testing, prototyping, and intellectual property initiatives carried-out by its contract engineers, scientists, and consultants. As such, the Company's activities are subject to significant risks and uncertainties, including failing to secure additional funding to operationalize the Company's technology before another company develops similar technology and products.

 

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

In February 2015, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2015-02, "Amendments to the Consolidation Analysis", which amends the consolidation requirements in ASC 810 and significantly changes the consolidation analysis required under U.S. GAAP relating to whether or not to consolidate certain legal entities. Early adoption is permitted. The Company's effective date for adoption is January 1, 2016. The Company does not expect this accounting update to have a material effect on its consolidated financial statements in future periods, although that could change.

 

In January 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-01, "Simplifying Income Statement Presentation by Eliminating the Concept of Extraordinary Items", which eliminates the concept from U.S. GAAP the concept of an extraordinary item. Under the ASU, an entity will no longer (1) segregate an extraordinary item from the results of ordinary operations; (2) separately present an extraordinary item on its income statement, net of tax, after income from continuing operations; or (3) disclose income taxes and earnings-per-share data applicable to an extraordinary item. Early adoption is permitted. The Company's effective date for adoption is January 1, 2016. The Company does not expect this accounting update to have a material effect on its consolidated financial statements in future periods, although that could change.

 

 
F-6
 

 

In August 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-15, Presentation of Financial Statements - Going Concern (Subtopic 205 40): Disclosure of Uncertainties about an Entity's Ability to Continue as a Going Concern, which is intended to define management's responsibility to evaluate whether there is substantial doubt about an entity's ability to continue as a going concern and to provide related footnote disclosures. Specifically, ASU 2014-15 provides a definition of the term substantial doubt and requires an assessment for a period of one year after the date that the financial statements are issued (or available to be issued). It also requires certain disclosures when substantial doubt is alleviated as a result of consideration of management's plans and requires an express statement and other disclosures when substantial doubt is not alleviated. The new standard will be effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, with early adoption permitted. Management does not expect the adoption of ASU 2014-15 to have a material impact on our financial statements and disclosures.

 

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (ASU 2014-09), which supersedes most existing revenue recognition guidance under US GAAP. The core principle of ASU 2014-09 is to recognize revenues when promised goods or services are transferred to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which an entity expects to be entitled for those goods or services. ASU 2014-09 defines a five step process to achieve this core principle and, in doing so, more judgment and estimates may be required within the revenue recognition process than are required under existing U.S. GAAP. The standard is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods therein, using either of the following transition methods: (i) a full retrospective approach reflecting the application of the standard in each prior reporting period with the option to elect certain practical expedients, or (ii) a retrospective approach with the cumulative effect of initially adopting ASU 2014-09 recognized at the date of adoption (which includes additional footnote disclosures). The Company does not expect this accounting update to have a material effect on its consolidated financial statements in future periods.

 

The Company reviews new accounting standards as issued. Although some of these accounting standards issued or effective after the end of the Company's previous fiscal year may be applicable, the Company has not identified any standards that the Company believes merit further discussion. The Company believes that none of the new standards will have a significant impact on the financial statements.

 

Going Concern

 

The Company does not have any commercialized products and has not generated any revenue since inception. The Company has an accumulated deficit of $29,039,014 as of August 31, 2015, 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.

 

In its report with respect to the Company's financial statements for the year ended August 31, 2015, the Company's independent auditors expressed substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. Because the Company has not yet generated revenues from its operations and does not expect to do so in the near future, its ability to continue as a going concern is wholly dependent upon its ability to obtain additional financing. Currently, the Company is seeking additional financing but has no commitments to obtain any such financing, and there can be no assurance that financing will be available in amounts or on terms acceptable to the Company, if at all.

 

As of August 31, 2015, the Company had cash of $228,465. Subsequent to its year end, the Company received $400,000 of bridge financing. Based upon its current and near term anticipated level of operations and expenditures, the Company believes that cash on hand should be sufficient to enable it to continue operations through January 2016.

 

 
F-7
 

 

If adequate funds are not available on reasonable terms, or at all, it would result in a material adverse effect on the Company's business, operating results, financial condition and prospects. In particular, the Company may be required to delay, reduce the scope of or terminate its research programs, sell rights to its SolarWindow™ technology and/or MotionPowerTM technology or other technologies or products based upon such technologies, or license the rights to such technologies or products on terms that are less favorable to the Company than might otherwise be available.

 

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.

 

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

 

Principles of Consolidation

 

These consolidated financial statements presented are those of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries, KEC, and New Energy Solar. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated.

 

Estimates

 

The preparation of the Company's consolidated financial statements requires management to make estimates and use assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues, and expenses. These estimates and assumptions are affected by management's application of accounting policies. On an on-going basis, the Company evaluates its estimates. Actual results and outcomes may differ materially from these estimates and assumptions.

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents

 

Cash and cash equivalents includes highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less. The Company has amounts deposited with financial institutions in excess of federally insured limits.

 

Property, Plant, and Equipment

 

Fixed assets are carried at cost, less accumulated depreciation and amortization. Major improvements are capitalized, while repair and maintenance are expensed when incurred. Renewals and betterments that materially extend the life of the assets are capitalized. When assets are retired or otherwise disposed of, the cost and related accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts, and any resulting gain or loss is reflected in income for the period.

 

For federal income tax purposes, depreciation is computed under the modified accelerated cost recovery system. Depreciation for financial statement purposes is computed on a straight-line basis over estimated useful lives of the related assets. The estimated useful lives of depreciable assets are:

Fair Value Measurement

 

The Company measures fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in an orderly transaction between market participants at the reporting date. The Company utilizes a three-tier hierarchy which prioritizes the inputs used in the valuation methodologies in measuring fair value:

 

Level 1. Valuations based on quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that an entity has the ability to access. The Company has no assets or liabilities valued with Level 1 inputs.

 

Level 2. Valuations based on quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities, quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities. The Company has no assets or liabilities valued with Level 2 inputs.

 

Level 3. Valuations based on inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities. The Company has no assets or liabilities valued with Level 3 inputs.

 

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

The carrying value of cash and cash equivalents, accounts payable and interest payable approximate their fair value because of the short-term nature of these instruments and their liquidity. It is not practical to determine the fair value of the Company's notes payable due to the complex terms. Management is of the opinion that the Company is not exposed to significant interest or credit risks arising from these financial instruments.

 

Research and Development

 

Research and development costs represent costs incurred to develop the Company's technology, including salaries and benefits for research and development personnel, allocated overhead and facility occupancy costs, supplies, equipment purchase and repair and other costs. Research and development costs are expensed when incurred, except for nonrefundable advance payments for future research and development activities which are capitalized and recognized as expense as the related services are performed.

 

Stock-Based Compensation

 

The Company measures all employee stock-based compensation awards using a fair value method on the date of grant and recognizes such expense in its consolidated financial statements over the requisite service period. The Company uses the Black-Scholes-Merton formula to determine the fair value of stock-based compensation awards on the date of grant. The Black-Scholes-Merton formula requires management to make assumptions regarding the option lives, expected volatility, and risk free interest rates. See "NOTE 3 – Common Stock and Warrants" and "NOTE 4 - Stock Options" for additional information on the Company's stock-based compensation plans.

 

Income Taxes

 

The Company accounts for income taxes using the asset and liability method. Under the asset and liability method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributed to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and tax credits and loss carry-forwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences and carry-forwards are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. A valuation allowance is established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to amounts expected to be realized. The Company reports a liability for unrecognized tax benefits resulting from uncertain income tax positions, if any, taken or expected to be taken in an income tax return. Estimated interest and penalties are recorded as a component of interest expense or other expense, respectively.

Segment Reporting

 

The Company's business is considered to be 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.

 

Net Income (Loss) Per Share

 

The computation of basic earnings per share ("EPS") is based on the weighted average number of shares that were outstanding during the period, including shares of common stock that are issuable at the end of the reporting period. The computation of diluted EPS is based on the number of basic weighted-average shares outstanding plus the number of common shares that would be issued assuming the exercise of all potentially dilutive common shares outstanding using the treasury stock method. The computation of diluted net income per share does not assume conversion, exercise or contingent issuance of securities that would have an antidilutive effect on earnings per share. Therefore, when calculating EPS if the Company experienced a loss, there is no inclusion of dilutive securities as their inclusion in the EPS calculation is antidilutive. Furthermore, options and warrants will have a dilutive effect under the treasury stock method only when the average market price of the common stock during the period exceeds the exercise price of the options or warrants (they are in the money). See "NOTE 5 - Net Loss Per Share" for further discussion.

 

NOTE 2 - Debt

 

Convertible Promissory Note

 

On October 7, 2013 (the "Closing Date"), the Company entered into a Bridge Loan Agreement (the "2013 Loan Agreement") with Kalen Capital Corporation (the "Investor"), a private corporation owning in excess of 10% of the Company's issued and outstanding shares of common stock. Pursuant to the 2013 Loan Agreement, the Company received proceeds of $3,000,000 and issued a 7% unsecured Convertible Promissory Note (the "2013 Note") due on October 6, 2014, with interest compounded quarterly and issued a Series I Stock Purchase Warrant (the "Series I Warrant") allowing the holder to purchase up to 921,875 shares of the Company's common stock at an initial exercise price of $1.37 for a period of five (5) years. The Series I Warrant is exercisable on a "cashless basis." According to the original terms of the 2013 Loan Agreement, the Investor may have elected, in its sole discretion, to convert all or any portion of the outstanding principal amount of the 2013 Note, and any or all accrued and unpaid interest thereon into units, with each unit consisting of (a) one share of common stock; (b) one Series J Stock Purchase Warrant for the purchase of one share of common stock (the "Series J Warrant"); and (c) one Series K Stock Purchase Warrant for the purchase of one share of common stock (the "Series K Warrant").

 

On November 10, 2014, the Company entered into an Amended Bridge Loan Agreement (the "2015 Loan Agreement") with Investor pursuant to which the Company and Investor amended the 2013 Loan Agreement by amending the 2013 Note to extend the maturity date to December 31, 2015 (the "Amended Note"). According to the terms of the 2015 Loan Agreement, the Investor may elect, in its sole discretion, to convert all or any portion of the outstanding principal amount of the Amended Note, and any or all accrued and unpaid interest thereon into units of the Company's equity securities (collectively, the "Units"), with each Unit consisting of (a) one share of common stock; and (b) one Stock Purchase Warrant for the purchase of one share of common stock (the "Warrant"). The conversion price for each Unit is the lesser of (i) $1.37; or (ii) 70% of the 20 day average closing price of the Company's common stock prior to conversion, subject to a floor of $1.00 with the exercise price of each Warrant included in the Units issued upon conversion being equal to sixty percent (60%) of the 20 day average closing price of the Company's common stock prior to conversion. The Warrant will be exercisable for a period of five years from the date of issuance and will be exercisable on a cashless basis.

 

In order to induce Investor to enter into the 2015 Loan Agreement and extend the maturity date of the 2013 Note, the Company issued a Series J Warrant to purchase 3,110,378 shares of its common stock at an exercise price of $1.12 and a Series K Warrant to purchase 3,110,378 shares of its common stock at an exercise price of $1.20. Each of the Series J Warrant and Series K Warrant is exercisable through November 9, 2019 and contains a provision allowing the Investor to exercise the warrant on a cashless basis as further set forth therein.

 

 
F-10
 

 

For accounting purposes, the modification to the 2013 Loan Agreement did not result in a gain or loss, as an extinguishment under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, due to the related party nature of the transaction. As described above, the Amended Bridge Loan Agreement resulted in the issuance of a Series J Warrant and a Series K Warrant. Prior to the Amended Bridge Loan Agreement, the Series J and Series K Warrants were to be issued to the Investor only upon the Investor's election to convert the 2013 Note (according to the original terms of the 2013 note). Also as a result of the Amended Bridge Loan Agreement, the principal amount of the Amended Note and accrued interest thereon is convertible into Units. As such, the fair value of the Warrant, representing the value exchanged for the modification of the conversion option associated with the 2013 Loan Agreement, was recognized as a discount to the Amended Note with a corresponding increase in additional paid-in capital. The fair value of the Warrant was $1.16 per share. The fair value of the Warrant was calculated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model and the following assumptions: market price of common stock - $1.28 per share; estimated volatility - 138%; risk free interest rate - 1.57%; expected dividend rate - 0% and expected life - 5 years. Based on the terms of the Amended Note, 3,142,359 warrants were issuable on November 10, 2014 with a fair value of $3,645,137 (3,142,359 Warrants x $1.16 per share). The debt discount is limited to the face value of the Amended Note. As a result, on November 10, 2014, the Company recorded a debt discount of $3,000,000 which is being accreted over the term of the Amended Note using the effective interest method.

 

Interest expense related to the 2013 Loan Agreement as amended amounted to $229,457 and $193,150 during the years ended August 31, 2015. Interest expense from the accretion of the debt discount related to the 2013 Loan Agreement as amended amounted to $4,433,872 and $686,320 during the years ended August 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively. The remaining debt discount related to the Warrants and totaling $879,808 will be amortized through December 31, 2015 with $656,250 amortized during the quarter ended November 30, 2015 and $223,558 amortized during the quarter ended February 29, 2016.

 

Bridge Loan

 

On March 4, 2015, the Company entered into a Bridge Loan Agreement (the "Bridge Loan Agreement") with 1420468 Alberta Ltd. (the "Creditor") pursuant to which the Company borrowed $600,000 at an annual interest rate of 7% (the "March 2015 Loan"), compounded quarterly; following the occurrence of an event of default, as further specified in the Bridge Loan Agreement, the annual interest rate would increase to 15%. The March 2015 Loan was evidenced by a promissory note with a maturity date of the earlier of: (a) the closing of any equity financing by the Company in excess of $600,000, or (b) September 4, 2015. As a condition to the Creditor's entry into the Bridge Loan Agreement, the Company issued the Creditor a Series L Stock Purchase Warrant (the "Series L Warrant") to purchase up to 500,000 shares of the Company's common stock, which are exercisable from September 5, 2015 through March 4, 2020, with an exercise price of $1.20; the Series L Warrant contains a provision allowing the Creditor to exercise the Series L Warrant on a cashless basis as further set forth therein.

 

The fair value of the Series L Warrant was $1.198 per share and was calculated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following assumptions: market price of common stock - $1.78 per share; estimated volatility - 76%; risk free interest rate – 1.55%; expected dividend rate - 0% and expected life – 4.5 years. This resulted in allocating $299,750 to the Series L Warrant and $300,250 to the March 2015 Loan. As a result, on March 4, 2015, the Company recorded a debt discount of $299,750 which is being accreted over the term of the March 2015 Loan.

 

Interest expense related to the March 2015 Loan amounted to $20,891 during the year ended August 31, 2015. Interest expense from the accretion of the debt discount related to the March 2015 Loan amounted to $293,234 during the year ended August 31, 2015. The remaining debt discount related to the Series L Warrant totaling $6,516 will be amortized during the quarter ended November 30, 2015.

 

Subsequent to year end, the maturity date of the March 2015 Loan was extended to December 31, 2016. As consideration the Company issued the Creditor a Series M Stock Purchase Warrant to purchase up to 100,000 shares of the Company's common stock through December 7, 2020, at an exercise price of $2.34 per share; the Series M Warrant contains a provision allowing the Creditor to exercise the Series M Warrant on a cashless basis as further set forth therein. The Company also agreed to extend the termination date of the Creditor's currently outstanding warrants to December 7, 2020.

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 the period covered by this report and the exercise price, multiplied by the number of shares) that would have been received by the option holders had all in-the-money option holders exercised their vested options on August 31, 2015. The intrinsic value of the option changes based upon the fair market value of the Company's common stock. Since the closing stock price was $2.58 on August 31, 2015 and 395,834 outstanding options have an exercise price below $2.58 per share, as of August 31, 2015, there is intrinsic value to the Company's outstanding, in-the-money stock options.

NOTE 5 - Net Loss Per Share

 

During the years ended August 31, 2015 and 2014, the Company recorded a net loss. Basic net loss per share is computed by dividing the net loss by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. The Company has not included the effects of warrants, stock options and convertible debt on net loss per share because to do so would be antidilutive.

NOTE 6 - Related Party Transactions

 

A related party with respect to the Company is generally defined as any person (i) (and, if a natural person, inclusive of his or her immediate family) that holds 10% or more of the Company's securities, (ii) that is part of the Company's management, (iii) that directly or indirectly controls, is controlled by or is under common control with the Company, or (iv) 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.

 

The law firm of Sierchio & Partners, LLP (formerly Sierchio & Company, LLP), of which Joseph Sierchio, one of the Company's directors, is a principal, has provided counsel to the Company since its inception. During the years ended August 31, 2015 and 2014, the law firm of Sierchio & Partners, LLP provided $235,459 and $137,814, respectively, of legal services. At August 31, 2015, the Company owed Sierchio & Partners, LLP $20,335 which is included in accounts payable.

 

On October 7, 2013, the Company entered into the 2013 Loan Agreement with Investor and on November 10, 2014, the Company and Investor entered into the 2015 Loan Agreement resulting in the extension of the 2013 Note's maturity date to December 31, 2015 and the issuance of a Series J Warrant to purchase 3,110,378 shares of our common stock and a Series K Warrant to purchase 3,110,378 shares of our common stock (see "NOTE 2 - Debt" above).

 

Additionally, during 2015, the Company received $765,156 upon the Investor's exercise of 921,875 Series H Warrants, for an equal number of shares, originally issued on February 1, 2013 pursuant to the Company's $1.2 million self-directed financing.

 

All related party transactions are recorded at the exchange amount established and agreed to between related parties and are in the normal course of business.

NOTE 7 - Income Taxes

 

Deferred income taxes reflect the net tax effects of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes. Significant components of the Company's deferred tax assets at August 31, 2015 and 2014 are as follows:

The net increase in the valuation allowance for deferred tax assets was $759,565 and $1,372,511 for the years ended August 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively. 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, 2015 available to offset future federal taxable income, if any, of $14,168,462, which will fully expire by the fiscal year ended August 31, 2035. Accordingly, there is no current tax expense for the years ended August 31, 2015 and 2014. In addition, the Company has research and development tax credit carry forwards of $310,797 at August 31, 2015, which are available to offset federal income taxes and begin to expire during the fiscal year ending August 31, 2027.

 

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, 2015 and 2014.

 

The following is a reconciliation between expected income tax benefit and actual, using the applicable statutory income tax rate of 34% for the years ended August 31, 2015 and 2014:

NOTE 8 - Subsequent Events

 

Subsequent to year end, the maturity date of the March 2015 Loan was extended to December 31, 2016. As consideration the Company issued the Creditor a Series M Stock Purchase Warrant to purchase up to 100,000 shares of the Company's common stock through December 7, 2020, at an exercise price of $2.34 per share; the Series M Warrant contains a provision allowing the Creditor to exercise the Series M Warrant on a cashless basis as further set forth therein. The Company also agreed to extend the termination date of the Creditor's currently outstanding warrants to December 7, 2020.

 

On December 7, 2015, the Company entered into a Bridge Loan Agreement (the "December 2015 Loan Agreement") with the Investor pursuant to which the Company may borrow up to $550,000; of which $400,000 was advanced on October 7, 2015 (the "December 2015 Loan"). The remaining $150,000 is available upon written request by the Company to the Investor. Following the occurrence of an event of default, as further specified in the December 2015 Loan Agreement; the annual interest rate would increase to 18%. The December 2015 Loan was evidenced by a promissory note with an annual interest rate of 10%, compounded quarterly, and a maturity date of the earlier of: (a) the closing of any equity financing by the Company in excess of $3,000,000, or (b) September 1, 2016. The December 2015 Loan is convertible at any time into shares of common stock at a conversion price equal to 85% of the thirty (30) day volume weighted average price of the Company's common stock. Also, as a condition to the Investor's entry into the December 2015 Loan Agreement, the Company issued the Investor a Series M Stock Purchase Warrant to purchase up to 275,000 shares of the Company's common stock for a period of five (5) years, with an exercise price of $2.34; the Series M Warrant contains a provision allowing the Investor to exercise the Series M Warrant on a cashless basis as further set forth therein.

ITEM 9A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

 

(a) Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, we conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act, as of the end of the period covered by this annual report. Based on this evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded as of August 31, 2015, that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective such that the information required to be disclosed in our reports filed under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms, and is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

 

(b) Management's Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting

 

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as such term is defined in Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(f). Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, we conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting based on the framework in Internal Control - Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. Based on this evaluation, management concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was effective as of August 31, 2015.

 

This annual report does not include an attestation report of our registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management's report was not subject to attestation by our registered public accounting firm pursuant to the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, which permanently exempts non-accelerated filers (generally issuers with a public float under $75 million) from complying with Section 404(b) of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002.

 

(c) Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

 

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) that occurred during the period covered by this report that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Family Relationships and Other Matters

 

There are no family relationships among or between any of our officers and directors.

 

Legal Proceedings

 

None of or directors or officers are involved in any legal proceedings as described in Regulation S-K (§229.401(f)).

 

SECTION 16(a) BENEFICIAL OWNERSHIP REPORTING COMPLIANCE

 

Because we do not have a class of equity securities registered pursuant to section 12 of the Exchange Act we are not required to make the disclosures required by Item 405 of Regulation SK.

 

CODE OF ETHICS

 

We have adopted a Code of Ethics that applies to all of our officers, directors and employees, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer. The Code of Ethics is designed to deter wrongdoing, and to promote, among other things, honest and ethical conduct, full, fair, accurate, timely, and understandable disclosure in reports and documents that we file with, or submit to the SEC, compliance with applicable governmental laws, rules and regulations, the prompt internal reporting of violations of the Code of Ethics, and accountability for adherence to the Code of Ethics. Our Code of Ethics is available on our website at http://www.solarwindow.com. To access our Code of Ethics, click on "Investors", and then click on "Code of Ethics" located under "Corporate Governance."

 

A copy of our Code of Ethics may be obtained at no charge by sending a written request to our President and Chief Executive Officer, John A. Conklin, 10632 Little Patuxent Parkway, Suite 406, Columbia, Maryland 21044.

 

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE

 

We have adopted Corporate Governance Guidelines applicable to our Board. Our Corporate Governance Guidelines are available on our website at http://www.solarwindow.com. To access our Corporate Governance Guidelines, click on "Investors," and then click on "Corporate Governance Principles" located under "Corporate Governance."

Director Independence

 

We are not listed on a major U.S. securities exchange and, therefore, are not subject to the corporate governance requirements of any such exchange, including those related to the independence of directors; however, at this time, after considering all of the relevant facts and circumstances, our Board has determined that Mr. Livesey is independent from our management and qualifies as an "independent director" under the standards of independence of the FINRA listing standards. We do not currently have a majority of independent directors as required by the FINRA listing standards. Upon our listing on any national securities exchange or any inter-dealer quotation system, we will elect such independent directors as is necessary under the rules of any such securities exchange.

 

Board Leadership Structure

 

We currently have only one executive officer and three directors. Our Board has reviewed our current Board leadership structure — which consists of a Chief Executive Officer and no Chairman of the Board — in light of the composition of the Board, our size, the nature of our business, the regulatory framework under which we operate, our stockholder base, our peer group and other relevant factors, and has determined that this structure is currently the most appropriate Board leadership structure for our company. Nevertheless, the Board intends to carefully evaluate from time to time whether our Chief Executive Officer and Chairman positions should be combined based on what the Board believes is best for us and our stockholders.

 

Board Role in Risk Oversight

 

Risk is inherent in every business, and how well a business manages risk can ultimately determine its success. We face a number of risks, including strategic risks, enterprise risks, financial risks, and regulatory risks. While our management is responsible for day to day management of various risks we face, the Board, as a whole, is responsible for evaluating our exposure to risk and to satisfy itself that the risk management processes designed and implemented by management are adequate and functioning as designed. The Board reviews and discusses policies with respect to risk assessment and risk management. The Board also has oversight responsibility with respect to the integrity of our financial reporting process and systems of internal control regarding finance and accounting, as well as its financial statements.

 

Board of Directors Meetings, Committees of the Board of Directors, and Annual Meeting Attendance

 

During the fiscal year ended August 31, 2015, the Board held a total of ten meetings. All members of the Board attended at least 90% of all meetings of the Board. We do not maintain a policy regarding director attendance at annual meetings and we did not have an annual meeting during the fiscal year ended August 31, 2015.

 

We do not currently have any standing committees of the Board. The full Board is responsible for performing the functions of: (i) the Audit Committee, (ii) the Compensation Committee and (iii) the Nominating Committee.

 

Audit Committee

 

The Board does not currently have a standing Audit Committee. The full Board performs the principal functions of the Audit Committee. The full Board monitors our financial reporting process and internal control system and reviews and appraises the audit efforts of our independent accountants.

 

Compensation Committee

 

The Board does not currently have a standing Compensation Committee. The full Board establishes our overall compensation policies and reviews recommendations submitted by our management.

 

 
25
 

 

Nominating Committee

 

The Board does not currently have a standing Nominating Committee. We do not maintain a policy for considering nominees. Our Bylaws provide that the number of Directors shall be fixed from time to time by the Board, but in no event shall be less than the minimum required by law. The Board should be large enough to maintain our required expertise but not too large to function efficiently. Director nominees are recommended, reviewed and approved by the entire Board. The Board believes that this process is appropriate due to the relatively small number of directors on the Board and the opportunity to benefit from a variety of opinions and perspectives in determining director nominees by involving the full Board.

 

While the Board is solely responsible for the selection and nomination of directors, the Board may consider nominees recommended by stockholders as it deems appropriate. The Board evaluates each potential nominee in the same manner regardless of the source of the potential nominee's recommendation. Although we do not have a policy regarding diversity, the Board does take into consideration the value of diversity among Board members in background, experience, education and perspective in considering potential nominees for recommendation to the Board for selection. Stockholders who wish to recommend a nominee should send nominations to our Chief Executive Officer, John A. Conklin, 10632 Little Patuxent Parkway, Suite 406, Columbia, Maryland 21044, that include all information relating to such person that is required to be disclosed in solicitations of proxies for the election of directors. The recommendation must be accompanied by a written consent of the individual to stand for election if nominated by the Board and to serve if elected.

 

Compensation Consultants

 

We have not historically relied upon the advice of compensation consultants in determining Named Executive Officer compensation. Instead, the full Board reviews compensation levels and makes adjustments based on their personal knowledge of competition in the market place, publicly available information and informal surveys of human resource professionals.

 

Stockholder Communications

 

Stockholders who wish to communicate with the Board may do so by addressing their correspondence to the Board at SolarWindow Technologies, Inc., Attention: John A. Conklin, 10632 Little Patuxent Parkway, Suite 406, Columbia, Maryland 21044. The Board will review and respond to all correspondence received, as appropriate.

 

ITEM 11. EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

 

Our Board is responsible for establishing the compensation and benefits for our executive officers. The Board reviews the performance and total compensation package for our executive officers, and considers the modification of existing compensation and the adoption of new compensation plans. The board has not retained any compensation consultants.

 

The goals of our executive compensation program are to attract, motivate and retain individuals with the skills and qualities necessary to support and develop our business within the framework of our small size and available resources. We designed our executive compensation program to achieve the following objectives:

 

 

·

attract and retain executives experienced in developing and delivering products such as our own;

 

 

 

 

·

motivate and reward executives whose experience and skills are critical to our success;

 

 

 

 

·

reward performance; and

 

 

 

 

·

align the interests of our executive officers and stockholders by motivating executive officers to increase stockholder value.

Additionally, in the event that Mr. Conklin's employment is terminated without cause or a result of disability, he will be entitled to receive monthly salary payments as follows: 1) eight (8) monthly payments as in effect on the date of termination if terminated on or prior to December 31, 2014; 2) ten (10) monthly payments as in effect on the date of termination if terminated after December 31, 2014 but prior to December 31, 2015; 3) twelve (12) monthly payments as in effect on the date of termination if terminated after December 31, 2015 but prior to December 31, 2016; or 4) the lesser of (y) twelve (12) monthly payments as in effect on the date of termination, or (z) the remaining number of monthly payments as in effect on the date of termination due to the Executive through the Expiration Date if this Agreement is terminated after December 31, 2016. Upon termination of the 2014 Employment Agreement no further stock options will vest and the maximum number of option shares that Mr. Conklin may purchase is limited to the number of options that were vested as of the termination date and Mr. Conklin has the right to exercise the vested options within 120 days from the termination date, after which all unexercised vested options will terminate.

 

COMPENSATION OF DIRECTORS

 

We do not pay director compensation to directors who are also our employees. Our Board 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.

 

For their services as directors and actual expenses incurred to attend meetings of the Board, non-employee directors received $4,250 per quarter. Directors are entitled to participate in, and have been issued options under, our 2006 Plan.

 

The following table provides information as to compensation for services of the non-employee directors during the fiscal years ended August 31, 2015 and 2014.

ITEM 13. CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS, AND DIRECTOR INDEPENDENCE

 

We do not have a formal written policy for the review and approval of transactions with related parties; however, our Code of Ethics and Corporate Governance Principles require actual or potential conflict of interest to be reported to the Board. Our employees are expected to disclose personal interests that may conflict with ours and they may not engage in personal activities that conflict with their responsibilities and obligations to us. Periodically, we inquire as to whether or not any of our Directors have entered into any transactions, arrangements or relationships that constitute related party transactions. If any actual or potential conflict of interest is reported, our entire Board and outside legal counsel review the transaction and relationship disclosed and the Board makes a formal determination regarding each Director's independence. If the transaction is deemed to present a conflict of interest, the Board will determine the appropriate action to be taken.

 

Transactions with Related Persons

 

The Board is responsible for review, approval, or ratification of "related-person transactions" entered into between us and related persons. Under SEC rules (Section 404 (a) of Regulation S-K), a related person is a director, officer, nominee for director, or 5% stockholder of our outstanding shares of common stock since the beginning of the previous fiscal year, and their immediate family members. We are required to report any transaction or series of transactions in which we or a subsidiary is a participant, the amount involved exceeds $120,000, and a related person has a direct or indirect material interest.

 

 
30
 

 

The Board has determined that, barring additional facts or circumstances, a related person does not have a direct or indirect material interest in the following categories of transactions:

 

 

·

any transaction with another company for which a related person's only relationship is as an employee (other than an executive officer), director, or beneficial owner of less than 10% of that company's shares, if the amount involved does not exceed the greater of $1 million or 2% of that company's total annual revenue;

 

 

 

 

·

compensation to executive officers determined by the Board;

 

 

 

 

·

compensation to directors determined by the Board;

 

 

 

 

·

transactions in which all security holders receive proportional benefits; and

 

 

 

 

·

banking-related services involving a bank depository of funds, transfer agent, registrar, trustee under a trust indenture, or similar service.

 

The Board reviews transactions involving related persons who are not included in one of the above categories and makes a determination whether the related person has a material interest in a transaction and may approve, ratify, rescind, or take other action with respect to the transaction in its discretion. The Board reviews all material facts related to the transaction and takes into account, among other factors it deems appropriate, whether the transaction is on terms no less favorable than terms generally available to an unaffiliated third party under the same or similar circumstances; the extent of the related person's interest in the transaction; and, if applicable, the availability of other sources of comparable products or services.

 

The following are related party transactions for the fiscal years ended August 31, 2015 and 2014:

 

On October 7, 2013 (the "Closing Date"), we entered into a Bridge Loan Agreement (the "2013 Loan Agreement") with Kalen Capital Corporation (the "Investor"), a private corporation owning in excess of 10% of our issued and outstanding shares of common stock. Pursuant to the 2013 Loan Agreement, we received proceeds of $3,000,000 and issued a 7% unsecured Convertible Promissory Note (the "2013 Note") due on October 6, 2014, with interest compounded quarterly and issued a Series I Stock Purchase Warrant (the "Series I Warrant") allowing the holder to purchase up to 921,875 shares of our common stock at an initial exercise price of $1.37 for a period of five (5) years. The Series I Warrant is exercisable on a "cashless basis." According to the original terms of the 2013 Loan Agreement, the Investor may have elected, in its sole discretion, to convert all or any portion of the outstanding principal amount of the 2013 Note, and any or all accrued and unpaid interest thereon into units, with each unit consisting of (a) one share of common stock; (b) one Series J Stock Purchase Warrant for the purchase of one share of common stock (the "Series J Warrant"); and (c) one Series K Stock Purchase Warrant for the purchase of one share of common stock (the "Series K Warrant").

 

On November 10, 2014, we entered into an Amended Bridge Loan Agreement (the "2015 Loan Agreement") with Investor pursuant to which we and Investor amended the 2013 Loan Agreement by amending the 2013 Note to extend the maturity date to December 31, 2015 (the "Amended Note"). According to the terms of the 2015 Loan Agreement, the Investor may elect, in its sole discretion, to convert all or any portion of the outstanding principal amount of the Amended Note, and any or all accrued and unpaid interest thereon into units of our equity securities (collectively, the "Units"), with each Unit consisting of (a) one share of common stock; and (b) one Stock Purchase Warrant for the purchase of one share of common stock (the "Warrant"). The conversion price for each Unit is the lesser of (i) $1.37; or (ii) 70% of the 20 day average closing price of our common stock prior to conversion, subject to a floor of $1.00 with the exercise price of each Warrant included in the Units issued upon conversion being equal to sixty percent (60%) of the 20 day average closing price of our common stock prior to conversion. The Warrant will be exercisable for a period of five years from the date of issuance and will be exercisable on a cashless basis.

 

In order to induce Investor to enter into the 2015 Loan Agreement and extend the maturity date of the 2013 Note, we issued a Series J Warrant to purchase 3,110,378 shares of its common stock at an exercise price of $1.12 and a Series K Warrant to purchase 3,110,378 shares of its common stock at an exercise price of $1.20. Each of the Series J Warrant and Series K Warrant is exercisable through November 9, 2019 and contains a provision allowing the Investor to exercise the warrant on a cashless basis as further set forth therein.

 

Additionally, during 2015, we received $765,156 upon Investor's exercise of 921,875 Series H Warrants, for an equal number of shares, originally issued on February 1, 2013 pursuant to our $1.2 million self-directed financing.

 

 
31
 

 

The law firm of Sierchio & Partners, LLP (formerly Sierchio & Company, LLP), of which Joseph Sierchio, one of the our directors, is a principal, has provided us counsel since our inception. During the years ended August 31, 2015 and 2014, the law firm of Sierchio & Partners, LLP provided $235,459 and $137,814, respectively, of legal services. At August 31, 2015, we owed Sierchio & Partners, LLP $20,335 which is included in accounts payable.

 

For related party transactions that do not exceed $120,000 please see "Note 6 - Related Party Transactions" in the consolidated notes to the financial statements included in this Form 10-K.

 

Review, Approval or Ratification of Transactions with Related Persons

 

Our unwritten policy with regard to transactions with related persons is that all material transactions are to be reviewed by the entire Board for any possible conflicts of interest. In the event of a potential conflict of interest, the Board will generally evaluate the transaction in terms of the following standards: (i) the benefits to us; (ii) the impact on a director's independence in the event the related person is a director, an immediate family member of a director or an entity in which a director is a partner, shareholder or executive officer; (iii) the availability of other sources for comparable products or services; (iv) the terms and conditions of the transaction; and (v) the terms available to unrelated parties or the employees generally. The Board will then document its findings and conclusion in written minutes.

 

Director Independence

 

Please refer to "Director Independence" under the section titled "CORPORATE GOVERNANCE" in "ITEM 10. DIRECTORS, EXECUTIVE OFFICERS AND CORPORATE GOVERNANCE."
