NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

NOTE 1 - Basis of Presentation, Organization, Recent Accounting Pronouncements and Going Concern

 

Basis of Presentation

 

The unaudited financial statements of SolarWindow Technologies, Inc. (the “Company”) as of November 30, 2016, and for the three months ended November 30, 2016 and 2015, have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) in the United States for interim financial reporting and include the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiaries, Kinetic Energy Corporation (“KEC”), and New Energy Solar Corporation (“New Energy Solar”). Accordingly, they do not include all of the disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for complete financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended August 31, 2016, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission as part of the Company’s Form 10-K. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair presentation of the interim financial information have been included. The Company did not record an income tax provision during the periods presented due to net taxable losses. The results of operations for any interim period are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations for the entire year.

 

Organization

 

SolarWindow Technologies, Inc. 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. to align the company name with its brand identity. The Company’s ticker symbol changed to WNDW. 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.

 

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 (“OPV”) layers. The Company’s SolarWindow™ transparent electricity generating coatings are the subject of 14 patent pending technologies. SolarWindow™ coatings are being developed for application on glass, and flexible glass and plastic surfaces and 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. The Company’s activities are subject to significant risks and uncertainties, including, but not limited to, the Company’s failure to secure, on a timely basis, adequate additional funding to commercialize the Company’s SolarWindow™ technology or the development of a similar technology and products, by existing or potential future competitors, that may gain earlier market entry or greater market acceptance than the Company’s technology and products.

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 adoption of this accounting update did not 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. 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.

 

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 $35,398,856 and cash of $1,763,909 as of November 30, 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 and development programs; sell rights to its SolarWindow™ technology and/or MotionPower™ technology, or other technologies or products based upon these technologies; or license the rights to these 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 - 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 $550,010 (Includes an additional $10 related to wire fees). The December 2015 Loan was evidenced by a promissory note with an annual interest rate of 10% and maturity date of September 1, 2016. The December 2015 Loan was 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 and discount was accreted through March 31, 2016.

 

On March 31, 2016, the Investor received 177 PPM Units (as defined below under Note 3) 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 3).

 

During the three months ended November 30, 2016, the Company recognized $695 of interest expense.

 

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”) (which has since been 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 (the “Series L 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 Series L Warrant issued with the March 2015 Loan, amounted to $299,750 and 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 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.

 

During the three months ended November 30, 2016 and 2015, the Company recognized $11,617 and $10,836, respectively, of interest expense. Accretion related to the debt discount for the March 2015 Loan, Series L Warrant and Series M Warrant amounted to $55,720 and $6,516 during the three months ended November 30, 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 certain 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 modification did not result in a gain or loss due to the related party nature of the transaction.

 

The Company issued a Series N Warrant to purchase 767,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $3.38 through December 31, 2020. The fair value of the Series N Warrant was $2.102 per share, or $1,612,234 and the resulting debt discount is being accreted through December 31, 2017.

 

The maturity date of the Series I Warrant to purchase 921,875 shares of common stock was extended from October 6, 2018 to December 31, 2020. The Company recorded $233,234 as a debt discount to recognize the increase in value for the extension of the expiration date.

 

The maturity date of the Series J Warrant to purchase 3,110,378 shares of common stock was extended from November 9, 2019 to December 31, 2020. The Company recorded $304,817 as a debt discount to recognize the increase in fair value for the extension of the expiration date which is being accreted through December 31, 2017.

The maturity date of the Series K Warrant to purchase 3,110,378 shares of common stock was extended from November 9, 2019 to December 31, 2020. The Company recorded $326,590 as a debt discount to recognize the increase in fair value for the extension of the expiration date which is being accreted through December 31, 2017.

 

Interest expense related to the 2013 Loan Agreement, as amended, amounted to $64,036 and $59,732 during the three months ended November 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively.

 

Accretion of the debt discount related to the 2013 Loan Agreement as amended amounted to $308,339 and $656,250 during the three months ended November 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively. The remaining debt discount related to the Series N Warrants and Series I, J and K Warrant expiration date extensions totals $1,341,781 and will be amortized through December 31, 2017.

 

NOTE 3 - 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.

 

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, 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. The Reset Adjustment expired on September 30, 2016; no Reset Units were issued. The Reset Adjustment was accounted for as a derivative, measured at fair value, during the year ended August 31, 2016. The Company determined the Reset Adjustment had no value as of August 31, 2016.

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 November 30, 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 $3.09 on November 30, 2016 and 475,000 outstanding options have an exercise price below $3.09 per share, as of November 30, 2016, there is intrinsic value to the Company’s outstanding, in-the-money stock options.

 

During the three months ended November 30, 2016, there were 130,000 options exercised on a cashless basis resulting in the issuance of 46,520 shares of common stock. The aggregate intrinsic value of the options exercised was $186,500. Additionally, the Company granted 35,000 options with an exercise price of $3.28.

 

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 three months ended November 30, 2016 and 2015:

NOTE 6 - Net Loss Per Share

 

During the three months ended November 30, 2016 and 2015, 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.

 

Following is the computation of basic and diluted net loss per share for the three months ended November 30, 2016 and 2015:

Overview

 

We are a pre-revenue company developing our proprietary SolarWindow™ transparent electricity generating coatings. Our SolarWindow™ technology provides the ability to harvest light energy from the sun and artificial sources and generate electricity from a transparent, coating of OPV layers applied to glass, flexible glass and plastic surfaces and could potentially be used on any of the more than 85 million commercial and residential buildings in the United States alone. Our SolarWindow™ technology is the subject of 14 pending patents.

 

The development of our SolarWindow™ technology continues to advance under 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 and the application of our coatings on to glass at room temperature and pressure.

 

 
17
Table of Contents

 

A brief list of some of our more important milestones includes:

 

·entered into the NREL CRADA which is still in effect.

 

 

 

·filed fourteen patent applications for our electricity-generating coating and SolarWindow™ technology development efforts that are independent of both the USF sponsored research and NREL CRADA research.

 

 

 

·expanded the use of our SolarWindow™ coatings to include two 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 cells, which can successfully generate electricity on glass while remaining stable and transparent.

 

 

 

·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.

 

 

 

·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, sometimes otherwise creating visible lines on or “in” the window.

 

 

 

·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. In principle, this advance increases the efficiency of the solar cell and hence its ability to create more electricity from a given level of solar irradiation.

 

 

 

·discovered new, solution-based compounds that successfully mobilize the electrons necessary for generating electricity on SolarWindow™ and eliminated the use of other materials that could be prone to breakdown or failure. We have been able to produce these compounds from comparatively in-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-inch square (144 square inches in surface area).

 

 

 

·generated 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™.

 

 

 

·completed performance tests of its transparent electricity-generating coatings for glass and flexible plastics for glass-to-glass lamination processes.

 

 

 

·successfully demonstrated SolarWindow™ coatings performed under test conditions designed to simulate the high pressure and temperatures of the ‘autoclave’ manufacturing processes used by commercial glass and window producers.

Table of Contents

 

We are currently developing products (collectively, the “SolarWindow™ Products”) derived from our SolarWindow™ technology designed to address several potential markets, including:

 

 

·

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

 

 

 

 

·

SolarWindow™ – Structural Glass – Structural glass walls and curtains for tall structures;

 

 

 

 

·

SolarWindow™ – 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 “previously installed (window) glass, similar to aftermarket window tint films, for retrofit to existing commercial towers, buildings, and residential homes; Note these flexible films can also be applied to new construction windows;

 

 

 

 

·

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 on to existing windows.

 

Our focus is on the development and deployment of SolarWindow™-Commercial, Structural, and Architectural products. Our product development efforts have produced early working prototypes for these applications, which we are sharing with potential commercialization partners. Commercialization of the SolarWindowTM technology will require significant further capital, research, development and testing. This additional work should enable us to ascertain whether the SolarWindowTM technology can form the basis for a commercially viable technology or product and which products will be first to market.

 

SolarWindow™ Retrofit Veneer products are being developed as transparent, tinted, flexible veneers that can be applied directly on to 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 undergoing further development.

 

Recently, we have developed the capability to integrate transparent SolarWindow™ coatings on to flexible glass. This presents new product opportunities for curved and non-flat surfaces in automotive, aircraft, and military applications. By applying SolarWindow™ coatings on to flexible glass we can develop products with the flexibility of plastic and yet maintain the durability, scratch-resistance, and ease of maintenance of rigid glass.

 

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

Table of Contents

 

We plan to market any SolarWindow™ Products we commercialize through co-marketing and co-promotion, licensing, and distribution arrangements with third party collaborators. 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 which have established technical competencies, market reach, and mature distribution networks in the solar PV, building-integrated PV, and alternative and renewable energy market industries. We believe that this approach could provide immediate access to pre-existing distribution channels which can increase the market penetration and commercial acceptance of our products, and enable us to avoid expending significant funds for development of a large sales and marketing organization. We have not yet entered into any such arrangements.

 

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 November 30, 2016, we had working capital of $1,224,006 and cash of $1,763,909. 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.

Table of Contents

 

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 the three months ended November 30, 2016 compared to the three months ended November 30, 2015 as a result of increased R&D related to improving SolarWindow™ technology efficiency and transparency; optimizing electrical power (current and voltage) output; and improving performance, processing, reliability, and durability of SolarWindow™ coatings.

 

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 and issuance of common stock. Stock compensation expense increased during the three months ended November 30, 2016 compared to the three months ended November 30, 2015 due to a $35,386 increase in amortization related to our stock options as a result of the grant of 35,000 options and issuance of 120,000 shares of common stock to our directors valued at $393,600 compared to no such issuance during the three months ended November 30, 2015.

“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. See “NOTE 2 – Debt” and “NOTE 3 – Private Placements” to our Consolidated Financial Statements contained in this Form 10-Q.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

We have a retained deficit of $35,398,856 through November 30, 2016. Included in the deficit are non-cash expenses totaling $15,389,874 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 a timely basis or 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 November 30, 2016, we had a cash and cash equivalent balance of $1,763,909. We have financed our operations primarily from the sale of equity and debt securities. We currently do not have any agreements with any third party regarding a potential financing.

 

Net cash used in operating activities was $727,160 during the three months ended November 30, 2016, compared to net cash used in operating activities of $457,113 during the three months ended November 30, 2015.

Table of Contents

 

Net cash used in investing activities was $0 during the three months ended November 30, 2016, compared to net cash used in investing activities of $2,300 during the three months ended November 30, 2015. Cash used in investing activities substantially reflects amounts paid for office equipment.

 

Net cash used by financing activities was $18,146 during the three months ended November 30, 2016, compared to cash provided of $400,005 during the three months ended November 30, 2015. Cash used by financing activities during the three months ended November 30, 2016 was from the payment of the bridge loan whereas cash provided by financing activities during the three months ended November 30, 2015 was from the proceeds of the March 2015 Loan.

 

Other Contractual Obligations

 

In addition to our contractual obligations under the research agreements, as of November 30, 2016, we have lease payments of $1,165 each month under our month-to-month corporate office operating lease.

 

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

 

We have no off-balance sheet arrangements.

 

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

 

See Note 1 to our Consolidated Financial Statements for more information regarding recent accounting pronouncements and their impact to our consolidated results of operations and financial position.
