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.

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.

At the time of this filing, our proprietary patent-pending SolarWindow™ see-through (“transparent”) electricity-generating coatings are the subject of fourteen 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 transparent, coating of organic photovoltaic (“OPV”) solar cells applied to glass and plastics. Our SolarWindow™ technology is the subject of fourteen pending patents. 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 through our Sponsored Research Agreement with the University of South Florida Research Foundation (“USF”) and continues to advance through the Stevenson-Wydler Cooperative Research and Development Agreement (the “NREL CRADA”) with the Alliance for Sustainable Energy, LLC (the “Alliance for Sustainable Energy”), which is the operator of The National Renewable Energy Laboratory (“NREL”).

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 transparent. We have 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 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.

To advance the technical development and subsequent commercialization of our SolarWindow™ products, we are actively seeking technology and product licensing and joint venture 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 not yet entered into any such arrangements.

Our Important Milestones

We have been working to further designing, testing, our SolarWindow™ technology, as well as developing a prototype of our SolarWindow™, for application to commercial flat glass in tall towers since November 2006.

To date we have achieved a number of important milestones in our development efforts, including:

SolarWindow™ generates electricity by harnessing the energy of the sun and artificial light to create a “photovoltaic” effect. Photovoltaics (“PV”) 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) and generate electricity with sun light, only. Our researchers have replaced these materials with compounds that allow our SolarWindow™ technology to remain see-through, while generating electricity when exposed to both sun and artificial light.

Products Derived from our SolarWindow^TM Technology

On September 16, 2010, we publicly unveiled a working four-inch by four-inch prototype of our proprietary SolarWindow™ technology. Scientists at the event powered lights on a scale-model house by exposing our transparent SolarWindow™ to artificial light from fluorescent lamps, mimicking lighting typically installed inside offices.

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 SolarWindow^TM 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, in collaboration 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 transparent 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 transparent, 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 for the same type device structure 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 transparent 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.

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

Our focus is 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 SolarWindow^TM technology will require significant further research, development and testing. This additional work should enable us to ascertain whether the SolarWindow^TM technology can actually form the basis for a commercially viable technology or product.

SolarWindow™ Retrofit Veneer products are being developed as transparent, tinted, flexible veneers that installers can apply directly over top of existing windows. 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 parallel to the SolarWindow™ products currently under product development.

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 increased cost of conventional electricity generation fuels and the easing of price 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 for 2016. Importantly, the global market value of fabricated flat glass is forecast to exceed $100 billion for 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

Based on initial market research, 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 rate for “Green Buildings” is 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. Market research shows the global flat glass market is estimated to be worth $8.3 Billion.

Our Competitive Strengths

We believe that the following strengths of our SolarWindow™ technology should enable us to compete successfully in the alternative energy industry:

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:

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:

These companies may have numerous competitive advantages, including:

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.

If our competitors were to succeed in developing products that are more effective than our SolarWindow™ technology, some or all of our SolarWindow™ Products could be rendered 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. Our competitive position will also depend upon our ability to attract and retain qualified personnel, to obtain patent protection or otherwise develop proprietary products or processes, and to secure sufficient capital resources for the often substantial period between technology development and commercial sales. Another important factor will be the timing of market introduction of any SolarWindow™ 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.

Proprietary Assets

SolarWindow^TM

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

MotionPower^TM

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 SolarWindow™ technology, we are assessing potential market and commercialization options available to us with respect to the SolarWindow™, and the technology is the subject of fifty-nine 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.

PART II

ITEM 5. MARKET FOR REGISTRANT’S COMMON EQUITY, RELATED STOCKHOLDER MATTERS AND ISSUER PURCHASES OF EQUITY SECURITIES

Market Information

Our common stock is quoted on the OTCQB under the symbol “WNDW”. Our warrants to purchase common stock are not currently traded on any market.

The following table sets forth the high and low bid quotations of our common stock for each quarter during the past two fiscal years as reported by the OTCQB:

As of November 7, 2016, there were approximately 77 stockholders of record (this number does not include stockholders who hold their stock through brokers, banks and other nominees).

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:

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, 2016.

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

On October 10, 2006, the Board adopted and approved, and on February 7, 2011, shareholders owning a majority of our issued and outstanding stock 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™ transparent electricity generating coatings for glass and flexible plastic. Our OPV based SolarWindow™ transparent coating technology, when applied to glass and flexible plastics, generates electricity from harvesting light energy from the sun and artificial light sources.

Although we have identified and are currently developing seven SolarWindow™ Products using our SolarWindow™ technology, 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. Please refer to “ITEM 1. BUSINESS- Products Derived from our SolarWindow^TM Technology” for a description of the SolarWindow™ Products.

Our product development programs involve ongoing 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 SolarWindow™ 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 that should increase market penetration, commercial acceptance of our products, and enable 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, 2016, we had working capital of $2,079,681 and cash of $2,509,215. 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 June 2017.

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 our business operations. We will seek access to private or public equity markets 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

On March 18, 2011, we entered into the NREL CRADA with Alliance for Sustainable Energy, the operator of the NREL under its U.S. Department of Energy contract to advance the commercial development of the SolarWindow™ technology. Under terms of the NREL 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 NREL CRADA, we agreed to reimburse Alliance for Sustainable Energy 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 NREL 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 for Sustainable Energy as a retainer, which was used upon the development goals being met.

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

On December 28, 2015, we entered into another modification of the CRADA (“Modification”) to the NREL CRADA with Alliance for Sustainable Energy, previously entered into between us and NREL. The purpose of the CRADA Modification was to extend the date pursuant to which NREL’s researchers work towards specific product development goals. Specifically, we are preparing to commercialize our OPV-based SolarWindow™ transparent electricity-generating coatings for BIPV, and glass and flexible plastic applications. Under CRADA Modification, NREL and the Company will work jointly towards achieving specific commercialization goals and objectives. As of August 31, 2016, the Company made $349,302 of advances to Alliance for Sustainable Energy which is reflected as an asset on our balance sheet.

Results of Operations

Year Ended August 31, 2016 Compared with the Year Ended August 31, 2015

Operating Expenses

A summary of our operating expense for the years ended August 31, 2016 and 2015 follows:

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 2016, we experienced a decrease in investor communications related fees offset by increases in professional fees and other general and administrative costs.

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 2016 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 2016 due to a $253,500 increase in expense associated with the issuance of restricted stock grant to our directors offset by a $128,011 decrease in expense related to stock option grants.

Other Income (Expense)

A summary of our other income (expense) for the years ended August 31, 2016 and 2015 follows:

“Interest expense” relates to the stated interest of our convertible promissory notes and bridge note. “Accretion of debt discount” represents the accretion of the discount applied to our notes as a result of the issuance and modification of detachable warrants and the beneficial conversion feature contained in our notes. The “change in fair value of derivative liability” results from the accounting impact for the features included in the sale of Units pursuant to our Offering. The “loan conversion inducement expense” is the result of issuing PPM Units in exchange for repayment of the December 2015 Loan Agreement which terms were more favorable compared to the original conversion terms of the December 2015 Loan Agreement. See “NOTE 3 – Debt” and “NOTE 4 – Private Placement” and “NOTE 5 - Derivative Liability related to the Offering Units” to our Consolidated Financial Statements contained in this Form 10-K.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

We have a retained deficit of $33,676,327 through August 31, 2016. Included in the deficit are non-cash expenses totaling $14,533,615 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. On August 31, 2016, we had a cash and cash equivalent balance of $2,509,215. We have financed our operations primarily from the sale of equity and debt securities.

Net cash used in operating activities was $2,634,060 during the year ended August 31, 2016, compared to net cash used in operating activities of $2,594,725 during the year ended August 31, 2015.

Net cash used in investing activities was $2,300 during the year ended August 31, 2016, compared to net cash used in investing activities of $15,561 during the year ended August 31, 2015. Cash used in investing activities substantially reflects amounts paid for office equipment.

Net cash provided by financing activities was $4,917,110 during the year ended August 31, 2016, compared to $2,053,514 during the year ended August 31, 2015. Cash provided by financing activities during the year ended August 31, 2016 was from the receipt of a bridge loan, sale of Units from our Offering and sale of units from our June 2016 Private Placement whereas cash provided by financing activities during the year ended August 31, 2015 was from the exercise of Series H Warrants and proceeds from the March 2015 Loan.

Other Contractual Obligations

In addition to our contractual obligations under the research agreements, as of August 31, 2016, we have lease payments of $1,165 each month under our month-to-month corporate and other office operating leases.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We have no off-balance sheet arrangements.

ITEM 8. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

INDEX TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

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, 2016 and 2015, 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, 2016 and 2015, 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 retained 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, 2016 AND 2015

NOTE 1 – Organization and Going Concern

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, KEC and New Energy Solar.

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.” to align the company name with its brand identity. The Company’s ticker symbol changed to WNDW.

The Company has been developing two 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 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 commercialize the Company’s SolarWindow™ technology before another company develops a similar technology and products.

Going Concern

The Company does not have any commercialized products and has not generated any revenue since inception. The Company has a retained deficit of $33,676,327 and cash of $2,509,215 as of August 31, 2016, 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.

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 June 2017.

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^TM technology and/or MotionPower^TM 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.

NOTE 2 – 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.

Depreciation 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 6 – Common Stock and Warrants” and “NOTE 7 - 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 8 - Net Loss Per Share” for further discussion.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In February 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2016-02 amending the accounting for leases. The new guidance requires the recognition of lease assets and liabilities for operating leases with terms of more than 12 months, in addition to those currently recorded, on our consolidated balance sheets. Presentation of leases within the consolidated statements of operations and consolidated statements of cash flows will be generally consistent with the current lease accounting guidance. The ASU is effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018, with early adoption permitted. The Company does not expect this accounting update to have a material effect on its consolidated financial statements.

In April 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-03, Interest - Imputation of Interest (Subtopic 835-30): Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs, which requires that debt issuance costs related to a recognized debt liability be presented in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of that debt liability, consistent with debt discounts. This ASU requires retrospective adoption and will be effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2015 and for interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company does not expect this accounting update to have a material effect on its consolidated financial statements.

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, to clarify the principles used to recognize revenue for all entities. In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-08 to further clarify the implementation guidance on principal versus agent considerations. The guidance is effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2017, and early adoption is permitted. The Company does not expect this accounting update to have a material effect on its consolidated financial statements.

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.

NOTE 3 - Debt

December 7, 2015, $550,000 Bridge Loan

On December 7, 2015, the Company entered into a Bridge Loan Agreement (the “December 2015 Loan Agreement”) with Kalen Capital Corporation (the “Investor”). Pursuant to the December 2015 Loan Agreement, the Company received advances of $400,000 on October 7, 2015 and $150,000 on December 22, 2015 (Each advance includes an additional $5 related to wire fees). The December 2015 Loan was evidenced by a promissory note with an annual interest rate of 10% (default rate of 18%), compounded quarterly, and an initial 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 was initially convertible at any time into shares of common stock at a conversion price equal to 85% of the thirty day volume weighted average price of the Company’s common stock. In connection with the December 2015 Loan Agreement, the Company issued the Investor a Series M Stock Purchase Warrant (the “Series M Warrant”) to purchase up to 275,000 shares of the Company’s common stock for a period of five years, with an exercise price of $2.34.

The debt discount attributable to the warrants and beneficial conversion feature amounted to $458,777 (including $400,000 recognized as of October 7, 2015 and $58,777 recognized on December 22, 2015). The estimated fair value of the Series M Warrants was calculated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model and the following assumptions: market price of common stock - $3.01 per share; estimated volatility – 79%; 5-year risk free interest rate – 1.67%; expected dividend rate - 0% and expected life - 5 years. The resulting $458,777 discount was accreted through March 31, 2016.

On March 31, 2016, the Investor received 177 PPM Units (as defined below under Note 4) from the conversion of $548,700 of the principal owed under the December 2015 Loan Agreement resulting in a remaining balance of $18,146. The remaining balance was evidenced by a new promissory note (the “March 2016 Note”) dated March 31, 2016. The March 2016 Note accrued interest at 10% and was due September 1, 2016. The March 2016 Note was repaid on November 14, 2016. The PPM Units issued in exchnge for the conversion of principal owed under the December 2015 Loan Agreement contained terms that were more beneficial to the Investor resulting in the Company recognizing a loan conversion inducement expense of $36,176 related to the common stock issued and $529,230 related to the warrant component of the PPM Units (i.e., the Series O Warrant and Series P Warrant as defined below under Note 4).

As consideration for the Investor agreeing to extend the 2013 Note (defined below) maturity date to December 31, 2017 (as described below), the Company extended the expiration date of all of the Investor’s existing warrants, including the Series M Warrant maturity date from December 7, 2020 to December 31, 2020. The difference in fair value of the Series M Warrant as a result of the extension of the expiration date was immaterial.

During the year ended August 31, 2016, the Company recognized $18,076 of interest expense. During the year ended August 31, 2016, the Company recognized $458,777 of accretion related to the debt discount of the December 2015 Loan Agreement.

March 4, 2015, $600,000 Bridge Loan

On March 4, 2015, the Company entered into a Bridge Loan Agreement (the “Bridge Loan Agreement”) with 1420468 Alberta Ltd. (the “Creditor”). On or about December 31, 2015, the Creditor merged with and into the Investor. Pursuant the Bridge Loan Agreement, the Company borrowed $600,000 at an annual interest rate of 7% (the “March 2015 Loan”), compounded quarterly, with a default rate of 15%. The March 2015 Loan was evidenced by a promissory note with an initial 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. In connection with the Bridge Loan Agreement, the Company issued Creditor a Series L Stock Purchase Warrant to purchase up to 500,000 shares of the Company’s common stock, which was initially exercisable from September 5, 2015 through March 4, 2020, with an exercise price of $1.20.

The debt discount attributable to the relative fair value of the warrants issued with the March 2015 Loan, amounted to $299,750. The estimated 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. The resulting discount was accreted over the original term of the March 2015 Loan through September 4, 2015.

On December 7, 2015, Creditor agreed to extend the maturity date of the March 2015 Loan from September 4, 2015 to December 31, 2016. As consideration the Company issued Creditor a Series M Stock Purchase Warrant to purchase 100,000 shares of the Company’s common stock through December 7, 2020, at an exercise price of $2.34 per share. As a result, the Company recognized an additional debt discount for the fair value of the Series M Stock Purchase Warrant amounting to $205,800.

The fair value of the Series M Warrant was $2.058 and was calculated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model and the following assumptions: exercise price - $2.34; market price of common stock - $3.01 per share; estimated volatility - 79%; risk free interest rate - 1.67%; expected dividend rate - 0% and expected life - 5 years.

The Company recorded $33,000 as additional debt discount to recognize the increase in fair value for the extension of the expiration date of the Series L Warrant from March 4, 2020 to December 7, 2020. The increase in fair value was calculated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model and the following assumptions: exercise price - $1.20; market price of common stock - $3.01 per share; estimated volatility - 79%; risk free interest rate - 1.67%; expected dividend rate - 0% and expected life - 5 years for the new warrant and 4.24 years for the original warrant.

During the years ended August 31, 2016, the Company recognized $44,742 and $20,891, respectively, of interest expense. Accretion related to the debt discount for the March 2015 Loan, Series L Warrant and Series M Warrant amounted to $170,614 and $293,234 during the years ended August 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively.

October 7, 2013, $3,000,000 Convertible Promissory Note

On October 7, 2013, the Company entered into a Bridge Loan Agreement (the “2013 Loan Agreement”) with the Investor. 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”) initially due on October 6, 2014, with interest compounded quarterly and issued a Series I Stock Purchase Warrant (the “Series I Warrant”) for the 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 years. According to the original terms of the 2013 Loan Agreement, the Investor may have elected to convert all or any portion of the outstanding principal amount of the 2013 Note, and accrued 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 the Investor pursuant to which the maturity date was extended to December 31, 2015 (the “Amended Note”). According to the terms of the 2015 Loan Agreement, the Investor may elect to convert principal and accrued interest 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 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 being equal to 60% of the 20 day average closing price of the Company’s common stock prior to conversion. If issued, the Warrant included in the Units will be exercisable for a period of five years.

In order to induce the Investor to enter into the 2015 Loan Agreement and extend the maturity date to December 31, 2015, 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 was initially exercisable through November 9, 2019. As a result of the modification (which did not result in a gain or loss due to the related party nature of the transaction), the fair value of the Warrant amounting to $3,629,309 (limited to the $3,000,000 face value of the note) was recognized as a debt discount as of November 10, 2014.

On December 31, 2015, the Company entered into a Second Amended Bridge Loan Agreement (the “2015 Second Amended Loan Agreement”) with the Investor pursuant to which the Company and the Investor amended the 2015 Loan Agreement by amending the 2013 Note to extend the maturity date to December 31, 2017 (the “Second Amended Note”).

As consideration for the Investor agreeing to extend the 2013 Note maturity date to December 31, 2017, the Company issued a Series N Warrant and extended the maturity date of all of the Investor’s existing warrants, as described below, resulting in an additional debt discount of $2,476,875 as of December 31, 2015.

The Company recorded $304,817 as a debt discount to recognize the increase in fair value for the extension of the expiration date. The increase in fair value was calculated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model and the following assumptions: exercise price - $1.12; market price of common stock - $3.24 per share; estimated volatility – 81.81%; risk free interest rate - 1.76%; expected dividend rate - 0% and expected life - 5 years as a result of the extension and 3.86 years remaining at the time of extension.

NOTE 4 – Private Placements

June 2016 Private Placement

On June 20, 2016, the Company completed a self-directed offering of 937,500 units at a price of $3.20 per unit for $3,000,000 in aggregate proceeds (the “June 2016 Private Placement”). Each unit consisted of (a) one share of common stock; (b) one Series Q Stock Purchase Warrant to purchase one share of common stock at an exercise price of $3.20 per share through June 20, 2019; and (c) one Series R Stock Purchase Warrant to purchase one share of common stock at a price of $4.00 per share through June 20, 2021. The warrants may be exercised on a cashless basis.

The relative fair value of the common stock was estimated to be $1,338,000. The relative fair value of the Series Q Warrants and Series R Warrants was estimated to be $783,000 and $879,000, respectively, as determined based on the relative fair value allocation of the proceeds received. The Series Q Warrants were valued using the Black-Scholes option pricing model using the following variables: market price of common stock - $3.99 per share; estimated volatility – 83%; 3-year risk free interest rate – 0.87%; expected dividend rate - 0% and expected life - 3 years. The Series R Warrants were also valued using the Black-Scholes option pricing model using the following variables: market price of common stock - $3.99 per share; estimated volatility – 83%; 5-year risk free interest rate – 1.17%; expected dividend rate - 0% and expected life - 5 years.

March 2016 Private Placement

Beginning on February 18, 2016 and closing on March 31, 2016, the Company completed an offering pursuant to a Private Placement Memorandum dated February 16, 2016 (the “Offering”) for the sale to accredited investors of units of the Company’s equity securities (each a “PPM Unit” and collectively, the “"PM Units”) at a price of $3,100 per PPM Unit with each PPM Unit comprised of (a) one thousand shares of common stock; (b) one warrant to purchase one thousand shares of common stock at a price, subject to certain adjustments, of $3.10 per Warrant Share through October 31, 2017 (the “Series O Warrant”); and (c) one warrant to purchase five hundred shares Common Stock at a price, subject to certain adjustments, of $3.70 per Warrant Share through April 30, 2018 (the “Series P Warrant”). Pursuant to the Offering, the Company issued 618 PPM Units consisting of 441 PPM Units in exchange for cash of $1,367,100 and 177 PPM Units for the conversion of $548,700 of the principal owed under the December 2015 Loan Agreement.

The terms of the Offering provided for a onetime reset adjustment (the “Reset Adjustment”) such that if, within 6 months from the Offering Termination Date on September 30, 2016, the Company sells equity securities at a price less than $3.10 per share (“Reset Price”), each of the subscribers having purchased Units in the Offering will receive additional Units (the “Reset Units”) equal to the difference between the number of Units that would have been issuable to such subscribers if the price per share of common stock included in the Units was equal to the Reset Price less the number of Units actually received by such subscriber.

NOTE 5 - Derivative Liability related to the PPM Units

The Reset Adjustment contained in the Offering did not have fixed settlement provisions because the number of PPM Units issued may be adjusted higher if the Company sells securities at lower prices in the future; therefore, the Company concluded that the Reset Adjustment feature was not indexed to the Company’s stock and is to be treated as a derivative liability for accounting purposes. The accounting treatment for derivative financial instruments requires that the Company allocate a portion of the equity proceeds to the derivative for an amount equal to its initial fair value. Subsequently, on each reporting date, the fair value of the derivative is measured with changes in value recorded to other income/expense. In determining the fair value of the derivative liabilities, the Company used a Monte Carlo simulation at the date the instrument was issued and at each quarter end until the termination date of the Reset Adjustment on September 30, 2016.

A summary of quantitative information with respect to valuation methodology and significant unobservable inputs used for the Company’s derivative liability that is categorized within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy during the year ended August 31, 2016 as follows:

As of August, 31, 2016, as a result of the June 2016 Private Placement, the Company had no plans to raise capital prior to the expiration date of the Reset Adjustment. As a result, the Company determined that the Reset Adjustment had no value as of August 31, 2016 resulting in the recognition of other income.

The following table sets forth the Company’s derivative liabilities that were accounted for at fair value on a recurring basis categorized within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy during the year ended August 31, 2016:

NOTE 7 - Stock Options

Stock option grants pursuant to the 2006 Plan vest either immediately or over one to five years and expire ten years after the date of grant. Stockholders previously approved 5,000,000 shares for grant under the 2006 Plan, of which 3,216,665 remain available for grant and 883,334 were issued pursuant to the exercise of vested options as of August 31, 2016. All shares approved for grant and subsequently forfeited are available for future grant. The Company does not repurchase shares to fulfill the requirements of options that are exercised. The Company issues new shares when options are exercised.

The Company employs the following key weighted-average assumptions in determining the fair value of stock options, using the Black-Scholes option pricing model and the simplified method to estimate the expected term of “plain vanilla” options:

A summary of the Company’s stock option activity for the years ended August 31, 2016 and 2015 and related information follows:

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, 2016. 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 $2.92 on August 31, 2016 and 605,000 outstanding options have an exercise price below $2.92 per share, as of August 31, 2016, there is intrinsic value to the Company’s outstanding, in-the-money stock options.

There were 556,667 options exercised during the year ended August 31, 2016 on a cashless basis resulting in the issuance of 282,106 shares of common stock. The aggregate intrinsic value of the options exercised during the year ended August 31, 2016 was $1,237,333.

The following table sets forth the share-based compensation cost resulting from stock option grants, including those previously granted and vesting over time, that were recorded in the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Operations for the years ended August 31, 2016 and 2015:
