Ideal Power Inc.
Notes to Financial Statements
(unaudited)
 
Note 1 – Organization and Description of Business
 
Ideal Power Inc. (the “Company”) was incorporated in Texas on May 17, 2007 under the name Ideal Power Converters, Inc. The Company changed its name to Ideal Power Inc. on July 8, 2013 and re-incorporated in Delaware on July 15, 2013. With headquarters in Austin, Texas, it develops power conversion solutions with an initial focus on stand-alone commercial and industrial energy storage, combined solar and storage, and microgrid applications. The principal products of the Company are power conversion systems, including 2-port and multi-port products.
 
Since its inception, the Company has generated limited revenues from the sale of products and has financed its research and development efforts and operations through the sale of common stock and, prior to its initial public offering, the issuance of convertible debt. 
 
Note 2 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
 
Basis of Presentation
 
The accompanying unaudited financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission for Form 10-Q. Accordingly, certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. The Balance Sheet at December 31, 2016 has been derived from the Company’s audited financial statements.
 
In the opinion of management, these financial statements reflect all normal recurring, and other adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016. Operating results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of operating results for an entire fiscal year or any other future periods.
 
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
 
In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board, or FASB, issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606), requiring an entity to recognize the amount of revenue to which it expects to be entitled for the transfer of promised goods or services to customers. The FASB has recently issued several amendments to the standard, including clarification on accounting for licenses of intellectual property and identifying performance obligations. The standard will replace most existing revenue recognition guidance in U.S. GAAP when it becomes effective and permits the use of either the retrospective or cumulative effect transition method. The updated standard becomes effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2017 and early adoption is permitted. The adoption of the standard is not expected to have a significant effect on the Company’s financial statements.

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842), a new standard related to leases to increase transparency and comparability among organizations by requiring the recognition of lease assets and lease liabilities on the balance sheet. Most prominent among the amendments is the recognition of assets and liabilities by lessees for those leases classified as operating leases under previous U.S. GAAP. Under the new standard, disclosures are required to meet the objective of enabling users of financial statements to assess the amount, timing, and uncertainty of cash flows arising from leases. The new standard will be effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2018, with early adoption permitted. While the Company is continuing to assess the potential impact of this standard, it expects its lease commitment will be subject to the updated standard and recognized as lease liabilities and right-of-use assets upon adoption.

In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-15, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230), in order to address eight specific cash flow issues with the objective of reducing the existing diversity in practice. The updated standard is effective for financial statements issued for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017 and interim periods within those fiscal years with early adoption permitted. The adoption of the standard will not have a significant effect on the Company’s financial statements.

Management does not believe that any other recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting standards, if adopted, would have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.

License Agreement
 

-6-



In 2015, the Company entered into licensing agreements which expire on February 7, 2033. Per the agreements, the Company has an exclusive royalty-free license which enhances its intellectual property portfolio related to semiconductor power switches. The agreements include both fixed and variable payments. The variable payments are a function of the number of associated patent filings pending and patents issued under the agreements. The Company will pay $10,000 for each patent filing pending and $20,000 for each patent issued within 20 days of December 21, 2017 and each subsequent year of the agreement, up to a maximum of $100,000 per year (i.e. five issued patents). At March 31, 2017, one patent associated with the agreements had been issued and the corresponding long-term liability for the estimated present value of future payments under the licensing agreement is $266,938 . The Company is accruing interest for future payments related to the issued patent associated with the agreement.
 
Note 9 — Equity
 
On March 3, 2017, the Company closed on a definitive securities purchase agreement, or Private Placement, to sell the Company’s common stock and preferred stock together with warrants to purchase shares of common stock. In the Private Placement, each share of common stock or preferred stock was sold together with a warrant to purchase one share of common stock at a collective price of $2.535. Investors purchased an aggregate of 5,220,826 shares of common stock and 708,430 shares of preferred stock together with warrants to purchase 5,929,256 shares of common stock in the Private Placement for aggregate gross proceeds of $15 million. Net cash proceeds were $13,657,331 after offering fees and expenses, including the placement agent fee of approximately $1.1 million. The Company expects to utilize net proceeds from the offering for working capital and general corporate purposes.

In February 2017, the Company's Board of Directors authorized Series A Convertible Preferred Stock consisting of 3,000,000 shares. Each share of the preferred stock has a par value of $0.001 and a stated value of $2.535 and is convertible at any time at the option of the holder into one share of common stock. The holder cannot convert the preferred stock to the extent its beneficial ownership would exceed 4.99% of the Company's common stock outstanding, subject to adjustment as provided in the Certificate of Designation of Preferences, Rights and Limitations of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock. The shares have no voting power, no liquidation preference or additional dividend entitlements. In the three months ended March 31, 2017, the Company issued 1,518,430 shares of the Company's Series A Convertible Preferred Stock.

Note 10 — Equity Incentive Plan
 
On May 17, 2013, the Company adopted the 2013 Equity Incentive Plan (the “Plan”) and reserved shares of common stock for issuance under the Plan. The Plan is administered by the Compensation Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors. At March 31, 2017, 533,253 shares of common stock were available for issuance under the Plan.
 
During the three months ended March 31, 2017, the Company granted 83,625 stock options to Board members and 59,100 stock options to employees under the Plan. The estimated fair value of these stock options, calculated using the Black-Scholes option valuation model, was $262,070, of which $38,924 was recognized during the three months ended March 31, 2017.
 
During the three months ended March 31, 2017, 26,743 options to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock were exercised resulting in net proceeds of $11,143.

Note 11 — Warrants
 
In connection with the Private Placement, investors received warrants to purchase 5,929,256 shares of common stock. The warrants have an exercise price of $2.41 per share, are non-exercisable for the first six months and will expire three years from the date of issuance. The placement agent also received 237,170 warrants to purchase shares of common stock as part of its placement agent fee. The placement agent warrant has an exercise price of $2.89 per share, is non-exercisable for 12 months and has a three-year term. The warrants contain a provision to protect investors from potential future dilutive events, or a down-round provision.

OVERVIEW
 
Ideal Power is located in Austin, Texas. We design, market and sell electrical power conversion products using our proprietary technology called Power Packet Switching Architecture™, or PPSA™. PPSA™ is a power conversion technology that improves upon existing power conversion technologies in key product metrics, such as size and weight while providing built-in isolation and bi-directional and multi-port capabilities. PPSA™ utilizes standardized hardware with application specific embedded software. Our products are designed to be used in both on-grid and off-grid applications. Our advanced technology is important to our business and we make significant investments in research and development and protection of our intellectual property. Our PPSA™ and bi-directional switch technologies are protected by a patent portfolio of 50 US and 12 foreign issued patents at March 31, 2017.
 
We sell our products primarily to systems integrators as part of larger turn-key systems which enable end users to manage their electricity consumption by reducing demand charges or fossil fuel consumption, integrating renewable energy sources and forming their own microgrid. Our products are made by contract manufacturers to our specifications, enabling us to scale production to meet demand on a cost-effective basis without requiring significant expenditures on manufacturing facilities and equipment. As our products establish a foothold in key power conversion markets, we may begin to focus on licensing our proprietary PPSA™-based product designs to OEMs to reach more markets and customers. We may seek to build a portfolio of relationships that generate license fees and royalties from OEMs for sales of their products which integrate PPSA™.
 
We were founded on May 17, 2007. To date, operations have been funded primarily through the sale of common stock and, prior to our initial public offering, the issuance of convertible debt. Total revenue generated from inception to date as of March 31, 2017 amounted to $12,241,515 with approximately a quarter of that revenue coming from government grants. We may pursue additional research and development grants, if and when available, for the purpose of developing new products and improving current products. 
 
Our Technology
 
PPSA™ uses indirect power flow in which power flows through input switches and is temporarily stored in our proprietary AC link inductor. Our proprietary fast switching algorithms enable the transfer of quantum packets of power between ports in our system. As the AC link becomes charged, it disconnects from its input switches, resonates without being connected to either the input or output switches, and then reconnects to its output switches when it reaches the correct voltage and frequency for the application. PPSA™ is a power conversion technology that differentiates itself from traditional power conversion technology in key product metrics, such as size and weight while providing built-in isolation and bi-directional and multi-port capabilities. At March 31, 2017, we have been granted 32 US patents and six foreign patents related to PPSA™.
 
Products
 
We have developed products commercializing PPSA™ and make these products available for sale both directly to customers and through distributors. We currently sell several power conversion systems, or PCS, utilizing our patented PPSA™ technology. These products are described as follows:

The 30kW SunDial™ and the 30kW SunDial™ Plus, which are UL-1741 certified and are intended to be used for the commercial and industrial grid-tied solar and solar plus storage market. The SunDial™ is a PV string inverter which is field upgradable through the addition of a drop-in second DC port to connect batteries to a solar PV array. The SunDial™ Plus includes the PV inverter and the second DC battery port in one package. These products both include a built-in 6 string PV combiner and DC disconnects and are grid-tied, AC export only.


-10-



The 30kW Stabiliti™ series has two product offerings, two-port (AC-DC) and multi-port (AC-DC-DC) models, which are both UL-1741 certified. These products are intended to be used in the stand-alone storage and microgrid markets. They are bi-directional and operate in both grid-tied and grid-forming modes with near seamless transfer between operating modes. Grid-forming mode provides customers the ability to form and manage a microgrid. The products operate in both 50Hz and 60Hz environments and we plan to introduce these products in one or more markets other than North America in the second half of 2017.

125kW Grid-Resilient AC-DC PCS, which is certified for UL-1741 conformance, has over four times the power of the 30kW product and is also able to convert in both 50Hz and 60Hz AC environments and form and manage a microgrid. This product is intended for use in higher power stand-alone storage and microgrid applications.

Future Innovations
 
Bi-Directional Switches
 
Our existing products incorporate multiple insulated gate bipolar transistors, or IGBTs, which are power switches used in the process to convert power from one current form to another. IGBTs switch power in only one direction (DC to AC or AC to DC) and require the use of a blocking diode to prevent power from flowing back through the system. To enable our existing products to perform bi-directional power conversion, for each IGBT and diode used in our products, we must include a second IGBT and diode. These additional components have slight voltage drops that affect the electrical efficiency of our products and generate excess heat that must be dissipated. We have patented and are developing a new, highly efficient silicon switch called a bi-directional bipolar transistor, or B-TRAN™, that we believe will allow us to substitute one B-TRAN™ for two pairs of IGBTs and diodes used in our current products and is also a potential replacement for conventional power switches in the broader power semiconductor market.

Based on third party device software simulations, we believe that the B-TRAN™ may significantly improve electrical efficiency in our power converters and that higher efficiency would substantially reduce the heat generated by the operation of our products. As a result, products incorporating our B-TRAN™ would require less space for heat dissipation which would allow us to increase power density, or power per pound, and reduce material costs.

In April 2016, we announced one of our semiconductor fabricators successfully tested single-sided B-TRAN™ silicon dies and the results were consistent with third party simulations that predict significant performance and efficiency improvements over conventional power switches such as SCRs, IGBTs and MOSFETs. In October 2016, we announced one of our semiconductor fabricators successfully developed the initial manufacturing processes necessary for production of a B-TRAN™ and, utilizing those manufacturing processes, completed the fabrication of prototype B-TRAN™ devices. The next major milestone towards commercialization will be to complete, package and test prototype B-TRAN™ devices based on the latest fabrication process of record. The results of the testing and characterization of these prototype B-TRAN™ devices will be utilized to guide our further development and optimization efforts including potential changes in how the devices are manufactured or driven in an actual circuit.

We plan to first utilize the B-TRAN™ in our own power conversion products and then introduce it into the rapidly growing power semiconductor market, estimated to be $19 billion in 2017 according to research firm IHS Technology, or IHS, utilizing a licensing model. We believe our new B-TRAN™ technology may potentially address a significant portion of the power semiconductor market that currently relies on power semiconductor devices such as IGBTs. Potential addressable markets for B-TRAN™-based products include very low loss solid-state DC and AC contactors, electric vehicle drivetrains, variable frequency drives, solar PV inverters, bi-directional energy storage and microgrid power conversion systems, matrix converters and other power conversion products. At March 31, 2017, we have 18 US and six foreign issued patents covering the operation, control and manufacturing of the B-TRAN™ device.

EV Fast Chargers

Electric vehicles, or EVs, are emerging as a fast growth area of the overall automotive sector in the US and abroad. As EVs become a more significant section of the automotive market, the infrastructure to support them will need to be developed. Our PPSA™ technology can be a natural power conversion choice for system integrators looking for a highly efficient and compact system for an DC EV fast charger. In 2017, we expect to begin the development of products based on our existing product family to directly target this fast-growing market segment.

Business Strategy

Our business strategy is to promote and expand the uses of PPSA™ initially through product development and product sales. To bring our products to market, we will seek out best-in-class partners who will distribute, white-label or integrate our innovative products into higher value systems resulting in multiple strategic sales channels for our PPSA™-based products and product designs. Although our primary market is the United States, we will increasingly target markets outside the United States. As our products gain broader acceptance in the power conversion market, we intend to license our proprietary PPSA™-based product designs to OEMs within our target markets, as well as license our technologies for other markets which we do not plan to enter directly. The basis for this approach is the belief that OEMs may achieve higher product margins and gain more market share by providing PPSA™-based products, which are differentiated from the traditional product offerings in the industry, to their customers. We believe such strategic relationships with key OEM licensees would enable us to reap the benefits of PPSA™ and gain market share more quickly than by strictly manufacturing and distributing our products.
 
Target Markets
 
Currently, our primary markets are stand-alone storage and PV + storage.

Stand-Alone Storage Market

Based on market studies and forecasts by IHS, the global stand-alone storage market is forecasted to grow to $13 billion cumulatively from 2017 through 2020. Based on our estimate that power conversion systems represent approximately 10% to 15% of the system cost, power conversion systems, such as ours, would account for approximately $2 billion of this market.
 
The stand-alone storage market is served by battery energy storage systems, or BESS. BESS are racks of batteries coupled with a system controller and a power conversion system, such as those manufactured by us, to enable electric power to be captured, stored, and used in conjunction with electric power grids. These systems can be large, megawatt-scale systems operated by utilities to better manage their system resources, or smaller kilowatt-scale systems used by businesses and designed to enable these businesses to manage their power use and mitigate utility imposed "peak demand charges", which are charges utilities levy on their business customers for delivery of power at peak usage times of the day, such as mid-afternoons in the summer. The growth of peak demand charges has been substantial over the past decade and now can make up 50% or more of a commercial utility bill in certain markets. This is a trend that may continue as more intermittent resources are added to the utility power grid causing grid instability. Utilities and aggregators of distributed generation resources are also expected to adopt BESS due to the proliferation of renewables and to take advantage of additional value streams such as energy arbitrage, frequency regulation and ancillary services, infrastructure upgrade deferral and locational capacity.
 
There are strong economic incentives available to commercial and industrial consumers in major US markets such as California and New York in the form of reduced demand charges for installing a BESS and reducing peak consumption. There is also strong regulatory support for such systems. For example, California has issued a mandate for over 1,000 megawatts of new energy storage to be installed by 2020. Our 30kW and 125kW power conversion systems enable these BESS to connect to the utility power grid and, when paired with batteries, may offer these customers a substantial cost saving opportunity on their monthly electric bill. This market is still nascent but we have established a strong brand and position in this market with our customers having many systems installed and operating today. We believe this market may offer a compelling value proposition today for our products.
 
We believe, as early as the second half of 2017, this market may begin to grow beyond pilot installations to higher volume installations driven by the underlying economics of BESS to commercial and industrial customers. A good indicator of this is the availability of third party financing for BESS. Several of our customers have signed, announced or are in negotiation for financing deals for their BESS products.
 
We expect the cost of commercial and industrial BESS to continue to decline due primarily to lower battery costs and, as a result, expect significant expansion in the addressable market for these systems. We also believe the combination of lower BESS costs, third-party financing, increases in utility demand charges, and the continued entrance of large, established companies to the BESS space may contribute to accelerating market growth for stand-alone storage.

PV + Storage and Microgrid Markets
 
The global solar PV + storage market is forecast by IHS to grow to over 4,000 mega-watts of PV, or MWPV, annually by 2020. Utilizing our estimate of $0.18 per watt, this translates to approximately $2 billion solar PV + storage power conversion market over the next four years.

PV has one of the lowest levelized costs of energy for new electrical generation capacity and we expect this to remain true in the near term. We expect distributed PV to continue to be a high growth business as system costs have fallen dramatically over the past several years. As such, the economics of generating PV for local consumption is expected to remain strong for several more years, especially given the investment tax credit, or ITC, extension passed by Congress and signed into law in 2015 for solar energy production. Our SunDial™ products were launched to directly address this market.

One shortcoming of distributed, behind-the-meter PV systems is that they require connection to the utility power grid in order to operate. For example, a business with PV on its roof will not, in most cases, benefit from the ability to generate power should the utility power grid go down. Another shortcoming of distributed PV systems is the instability they cause on the local power lines. Utility power grids were not designed to manage power inflow from the end of the lines. As such, distributed generation sources can lead to wide swings in line voltages when clouds pass and power output falls off, requiring the utility to ramp up its central power stations to make up for the shortfall in solar. We believe the proliferation of PV, its intermittency and the elimination of net metering in many states may drive growth in the PV + storage market.

Whether for emergency backup power or for baseload generation in remote locations with weak or no electric grids, microgrids are an emerging business case for PV paired with storage. A distributed PV system connected to a BESS that includes one of our Stabiliti™ multi-port PCS may enable a business to benefit from the ability to form and manage a local microgrid powered by the PV system and BESS even when the utility power grid is down. This capability is attractive to electricity consumers who need to power critical loads even in a blackout. Our Stabiliti™ PCS are also equipped to meet evolving utility requirements for low voltage ride-through and other key operating parameters, which may enable the PV and BESS it connects to the grid to help stabilize the utility power grid when voltage or frequency fluctuates due to imbalances in load and supply. In remote locations where there is no reliable electric grid, which may be as diverse as a military battlefield or remote tropical island resort, or in locations where local electric rates are high due to aging and inefficient generation technology, a trend towards self-generation microgrids is developing. These sites can use PV, batteries and other forms of generation all brought together by one or more of our Stabiliti™ PCS to form and manage a grid using maximum solar generation for lowest cost.
 
As such, we believe our products may become increasingly attractive to co-locate BESS with distributed PV. IHS, which has strong renewable industry focus, forecasts that global installations of grid-tied commercial BESS coupled with PV will grow to over 1,500 MW of commercial PV + storage systems being installed annually by 2020.
 
According to their research, IHS believes that systems will be deployed in two principal configurations. The present configuration is to have separate BESS and PV systems tied together through the AC wiring, which is supported by all of our current products. A second, emerging configuration will be to place the BESS and the PV system behind a single PCS with two DC inputs. Our SunDial™ Plus was designed specifically to enable this configuration which we believe is the lower cost and more efficient configuration. A key unique feature of the SunDial™’s patented technology is its ability to be deployed first as a standard commercial PV inverter and later be upgraded in the field to bring storage into the PV system using the same inverter. We believe this is the only product in the market today to have this unique field-upgrade capability for pairing PV with storage in one inverter.
 
Also according to IHS, the global commercial PV industry is projected to grow to over 33GW annually by 2020. IHS further forecasts that these commercial systems will have a 2% storage attachment rate by 2020, providing for a nearly 700MW annual commercial PV + storage market. These new PV + storage markets include providing backup power during blackouts, improving grid stability in high penetration PV areas and reducing fossil fuel consumption in remote and off-grid microgrids.
 
Other Markets
 
Although our technology may be suitable for other vertical markets within the global power conversion market landscape, we do not currently offer products for sale directly to other power conversion markets such as the VFD, uninterruptible power supply, rail, wind or EV traction drive markets.
 
In addition to the markets discussed above, we may also have opportunities for market expansion into fast electric vehicle chargers in certain applications where our products’ compact size and multi-port capabilities can unlock value for the system

-13-



integrator particularly in locations where battery storage is coupled with the charging system to eliminate demand charges or expand the charging systems response capabilities. We have provided PCS to multiple EV charging system integrators who have deployed initial projects using our products coupled with batteries at EV charging stations to prove out these concepts. As these initial installations begin to operate, the value propositions of these new opportunities will become clearer.
 
We plan to continue to monitor all power conversion markets for opportunities to create solutions for customers and unlock the broader value of our patented technology.

Critical Accounting Policies
 
There have been no significant changes during the three months ended March 31, 2017 to the critical accounting policies disclosed in Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2016.
 
Results of Operations
 
Comparison of the three months ended March 31, 2017 to the three months ended March 31, 2016
 
Revenues.   Revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2017 of $275,670 were $220,974, or 44%, lower than the $496,644 we earned in revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2016. The decrease in revenue was driven by the timing of, and the variability in, the early market for standalone storage.
  
Cost of Revenues.   Cost of revenues increased for the three months ended March 31, 2017 to $710,930 compared to $494,754 for the three months ended March 31, 2016. The increase was due to non-cash write-down of inventory of $349,216 primarily associated with our 125kW battery converter and $15,000 adjustment to the Company's warranty accrual related to its end-of-life IBC-30 battery converter, partially offset by lower sales volumes.
 
Gross Profit (Loss).   Gross loss for the three months ended March 31, 2017 was $435,260 compared to a gross profit of $1,890 for the three months ended March 31, 2016.
 
Research and Development Expenses.   Research and development expenses decreased by $289,816, or 20%, to $1,190,169 in the three months ended March 31, 2017 from $1,479,985 in the three months ended March 31, 2016. The decrease was due primarily to the timing of costs associated with bi-directional power switch development of $406,186, partially offset by higher product development costs of $86,380.
 
General and Administrative Expenses.   General and administrative expenses decreased by $14,368, or 2%, to $905,963 in the three months ended March 31, 2017 from $920,331 in the three months ended March 31, 2016.
 
Sales and Marketing Expenses.   Sales and marketing expenses increased by $129,003, or 31%, to $541,533 in the three months ended March 31, 2017 from $412,530 in the three months ended March 31, 2016. The increase was due primarily to the higher consulting costs of $73,506 and bad debt expense of $60,703.
 
Loss from Operations.   Our loss from operations for the three months ended March 31, 2017 was $3,072,925 compared to $2,810,956 loss from operations for the three months ended March 31, 2016.
 
Interest Income, net.    Net interest income was $4,541 for the three months ended March 31, 2017 compared to $8,609 for the three months ended March 31, 2016.
 
Net Loss.   Our net loss for the three months ended March 31, 2017 was $3,068,384 as compared to a net loss of $2,802,347 for the three months ended March 31, 2016.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
 
We do not currently generate enough revenue to sustain our operations. We have funded our operations through the sale of common stock and, prior to our initial public offering, the issuance of convertible debt.
 
At March 31, 2017, we had cash and cash equivalents of $15,350,915. Our net working capital and long-term debt at March 31, 2017 were $15,678,764 and $0, respectively.
 
Operating activities in the three months ended March 31, 2017 resulted in cash outflows of $2,445,721, which were due primarily to the net loss for the period of $3,068,384 and negative working capital changes of $295,323, partly offset by non-

-14-



cash items of $917,986, related primarily to stock-based compensation of $384,329, inventory write-downs of 348,793 and depreciation and amortization of $113,068. Operating activities in the three months ended March 31, 2016 resulted in cash outflows of $2,575,871, which were due primarily to the net loss for the period of $2,802,347 and negative working capital changes of $274,026, partly offset by non-cash items of $500,502, related primarily to stock-based compensation and depreciation and amortization.
 
Investing activities in the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016 resulted in cash outflows of $76,754 and $203,493, respectively, for the acquisition of fixed assets and intangible assets.
 
Financing activities in the three months ended March 31, 2017 resulted in cash inflows of $13,668,474 related primarily to our Private Placement net proceeds of $13,657,331. In the Private Placement, each share of common stock or preferred stock was sold together with a warrant to purchase one share of common stock at a collective price of $2.535. Investors purchased an aggregate of 5,220,826 shares of common stock and 708,430 shares of preferred stock together with warrants to purchase 5,929,256 shares of common stock in the Private Placement for aggregate gross proceeds of $15.0 million. Net cash proceeds are after offering fees and expenses, including the placement agent fee of $1.1 million. Financing activities in the three months ended March 31, 2016 resulted in cash inflows of $35,536 from the exercise of stock options and warrants.

On December 1, 2014, we filed a Form S-3 shelf registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The registration statement allows us to offer up to an aggregate $75 million of common stock, preferred stock, warrants to purchase common stock or preferred stock or any combination thereof and provides us with the flexibility over three years to potentially raise additional equity in public or private offerings on commercial terms. After our May 2015 follow-on offering, $58 million is available to us under the registration statement.
 
Off-Balance Sheet Transactions
 
We do not have any off-balance sheet transactions.
 
Trends, Events and Uncertainties
 
Other than as discussed elsewhere in this report, we are not aware of any trends, events or uncertainties that are likely to have a material effect on our financial condition.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

As a smaller reporting company we are not required to provide this information.
 
ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
 
Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by an issuer in the reports that it files or submits under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, is accumulated and communicated to the issuer’s management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer (principal executive officer) and our Chief Financial Officer (principal financial and accounting officer), has concluded that, as of March 31, 2017, our disclosure controls and procedures are effective.
 
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
 
There have been no other material changes in our internal controls over financial reporting that occurred during the quarter ended March 31, 2017 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal controls over financial reporting.
 
Limitations on the Effectiveness of Controls
 
Control systems, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the control systems’ objectives are being met. Further, the design of any system of controls must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of all controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent

-15-



limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the Company have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty and that breakdowns can occur because of error or mistake. Control systems can also be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by management override of the controls. The design of any system of controls is also based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions. Over time, controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions or deterioration in the degree of compliance with policies or procedures.
