NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – UNAUDITED

FOR THE NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2020 AND 2019

The accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all normal recurring adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2020. For further information refer to the financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the Company’s Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019.

Going Concern 

The accompanying condensed financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis of accounting, which contemplates continuity of operations, realization of assets and liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business. The accompanying unaudited financial statements do not reflect any adjustments that might result if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern. The Company has not generated revenue, and has negative cash flows from operations, which raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern and appropriateness of using the going concern basis is dependent upon, among other things, additional cash infusion. The Company has historically obtained funds through private placements offerings of equity and debt. Management believes that it will be able to continue to raise funds by sale of its securities to its existing shareholders and prospective new investors to provide the additional cash needed to meet the Company’s obligations as they become due, and will allow the development of its core of business. No assurance can be given that any future financing will be available or, if available, that it will be on terms that are satisfactory to the Company. Even if the Company is able to obtain additional financing, it may contain undue restrictions on our operations, in the case of debt financing or cause substantial dilution for our stock holders, in case of equity financing. 

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

Revenue Recognition

The Company will recognize revenue when services are performed, and at the time of shipment of products, provided that evidence of an arrangement exists, title and risk of loss have passed to the customer, fees are fixed or determinable, and collection of the related receivable is reasonably assured. To date, the Company has not had significant revenues and is in the development stage.

Cash and Cash Equivalent

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

Use of Estimates

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

Intangible Assets

The Company has patent applications to protect the inventions and processes behind its proprietary bio-based back-sheet, a protective covering for the back of photovoltaic solar modules traditionally made from petroleum-based film. Intangible assets that have finite useful lives continue to be amortized over their useful lives.

Amortization expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and the year ended December 31, 2019 was $2,266 and $1,511, respectively.

FOR THE NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2020 AND 2019

Stock-Based Compensation

The Company measures the cost of employee services received in exchange for an equity award based on the grant-date fair value of the award. All grants under our stock-based compensation programs are accounted for at fair value and that cost is recognized over the period during which an employee, consultant, or director are required to provide service in exchange for the award (the vesting period). Compensation expense for options granted to employees and non-employees is determined in accordance with the standard as the fair value of the consideration received or the fair value of the equity instruments issued, whichever is more reliably measured. Compensation expense for awards granted is re-measured each period.

Determining the appropriate fair value of the stock-based compensation requires the input of subjective assumptions, including the expected life of the stock-based payment and stock price volatility.  The Company used Black Scholes to value its stock option awards which incorporated the Company’s stock price, volatility, U.S. risk-free rate, dividend rate, and estimated life. The stock options terminate seven (7) years from the date of grant or upon termination of employment. As of September 30, 2020, 15,950,000 stock options are outstanding.

Net Earnings (Loss) per Share Calculations

Net earnings (Loss) per share dictates the calculation of basic earnings (loss) per share and diluted earnings per share. Basic earnings (loss) per share are computed by dividing by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the year. Diluted net earnings (loss) per share is computed similar to basic earnings (loss) per share except that the denominator is increased to include the effect of stock options and stock based awards (Note 4), plus the assumed conversion of convertible debt (Note 5).   

For the nine months ended September 30, 2020, the Company’s diluted loss per share is the same as the basic loss per share, and the inclusion of any potential shares would have had an anti-dilutive effect due to the Company generating a loss. The Company has included 15,950,000 stock options and the shares issuable from convertible debt of $2,759,704, because their impact was dilutive.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2019, the Company’s diluted loss per share is the same as the basic loss per share, and the inclusion of any potential shares would have had an anti-dilutive effect due to the Company generating a loss. The Company has excluded 15,950,000 stock options, and the shares issuable from convertible debt of $2,602,220, because their impact was anti-dilutive.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

Fair Value of Financial Instruments, requires disclosure of the fair value information, whether recognized in the balance sheet, where it is practicable to estimate that value. As of September 30, 2020, the amounts reported for cash, inventory, prepaid expenses, accounts payable, and accrued expenses, approximate the fair value because of their short maturities.

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

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

If the Borrower fails to deliver shares in accordance with the time frame of three (3) business days, the Lender, at any time prior to selling all of those shares, may rescind any portion, in whole or in part of that particular conversion attributable to the unsold shares and have the rescinded conversion amount returned to the Principal Sum with the rescinded conversion shares returned to the Borrower. In addition, for each conversion, in the event shares are not delivered by the fourth business day (inclusive of the day of conversion), a penalty of $1,500 per day shall be assessed for each day after the third business day (inclusive of the day of the conversion) until the shares are delivered. The fair value of the May 2014 Note has been determined by using the Binomial lattice formula from the effective date of each tranche.

FOR THE NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2020 AND 2019

We evaluated the financing transactions in accordance with ASC Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging, and determined that the conversion feature of the convertible promissory note was not afforded the exemption for conventional convertible instruments due to its variable conversion rate. The note has no explicit limit on the number of shares issuable so they did not meet the conditions set forth in current accounting standards for equity classification. The Company elected to recognize the note under paragraph 815-15-25-4, whereby, there would be a separation into a host contract and derivative instrument. The Company elected to initially and subsequently measure the note in its entirety at fair value, with changes in fair value recognized in earnings. The Company recorded a derivative liability representing the imputed interest associated with the embedded derivative. The derivative liability is adjusted periodically per the stock price fluctuations.

The convertible notes issued and described in Note 5 do not have fixed settlement provisions because their conversion prices are not fixed. The conversion feature has been characterized as derivative liabilities to be re-measured at the end of every reporting period with the change in value reported in the statement of operations.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2020, as a result of the convertible notes (“Notes”) issued that were accounted for as derivative liabilities, we determined that the fair value of the conversion feature of the convertible notes at issuance was $478,000, based upon a Binomial-Model calculation. We recorded the full value of the derivative as a liability at issuance with an offset to valuation discount, which will be amortized over the life of the Notes.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2020, the Company converted $572,329 in principal of convertible notes, plus accrued interest of $61,115, and other fees of $4,750. At September 30, 2020, the fair value of the derivative liability was $25,261,322.

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

The Company rents office space on a yearly basis with a monthly rent payment in the amount of $550.

In the normal course of business, the Company may be involved in legal proceedings, claims and assessments arising. Such matters are subject to many uncertainties, and outcomes are not predictable with assurance. In the opinion of management, the ultimate disposition of these matters will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.

At September 30, 2020, there were no legal proceedings against the Company.

You should read the following description of our financial condition and results of operations in conjunction with the financial statements and accompanying notes included in this report.

Overview

We are developing innovative technologies to increase the capacity and reduce the cost of storing electrical energy. We have previously developed an innovative material technology to reduce the cost per watt of electricity produced by Photovoltaic, or PV, solar modules. We have been and will continue working on a silicon anode additive material technology intended to increase the storage capacity of current and future generation of lithium-ion batteries while lowering the cost of storing electrical energy.

While we had generally focused on energy storage technology and materials in the past, we are currently focusing on developing a new EV battery material processing technology intended to drastically reduce the cost of lithium-ion batteries for EVs.

We were incorporated in the State of Nevada on April 24, 2006, as BioSolar Labs, Inc. Our name was changed to BioSolar, Inc. on June 8, 2006. Our principal executive offices are located at 27936 Lost Canyon Road, Suite 202, Santa Clarita, California 91387, and our telephone number is (661) 251-0001. Our fiscal year end is December 31.

Recent Transactions

None.

Application of Critical Accounting Policies

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

Use of Estimates

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

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

Our cash, cash equivalents, investments, inventory, prepaid expenses, and accounts payable are stated at cost which approximates fair value due to the short-term nature of these instruments.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

Management reviewed currently issued pronouncements during the three months ended September 30, 2020, and does not believe that any other recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting standards if currently adopted would have a material effect on the accompanying condensed unaudited financial statements.

Results of Operations – Three Months Ended September 30, 2020 Compared to the Three Months Ended September 30, 2019

OPERATING EXPENSES 

General and Administrative Expenses

General and administrative (“G&A”) expenses increased by $19,217 to $122,477 for the three months ended September 30, 2020, compared to $103,260 for the prior period ended September 30, 2019. This increase in G&A expenses was the result of an increase in salary expense and professional fees.

Research and Development

Research and Development (“R&D”) expenses decreased by $25,721 to $34,750 for the three months ended September 30, 2020, compared to $60,471 for the prior period ended September 30, 2019. This overall decrease in R&D expenses was the result of a decrease in consulting services.

Depreciation

Depreciation expense for the three months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019 was $1,092 and $2,752, respectively. 

Other Income/(Expenses)

Other income and (expenses) increased by $(15,214,304) to $(15,904,807) for the three months ended September 30, 2020, compared to $(689,503) for the prior period ended September 30, 2019. The increase in other income and (expenses) was the result of an increase in non-cash gain on change in fair value of the derivative instruments of $15,240,756, a decrease in interest expense of $26,405, which includes non-cash expense of amortization of debt discount in the amount of $21,708, and interest income of $47. The increase in other income and (expenses) was primarily due to the net change in the fair value of the derivative instruments.

Net Income (Loss)

Our net loss for the three months ended September 30, 2020 was $(16,062,126), compared to a net loss of $(855,986) for the prior period ended September 30, 2019. The increase in net loss was due to an increase in non-cash other income (expenses) associated with the net change in derivative instruments estimated each period. These estimates are based on multiple inputs, including the market price of our stock, interest rates, our stock price volatility, variable conversion prices based on market prices as defined in the respective agreements and probabilities of certain outcomes based on management projections. These inputs are subject to significant changes from period to period and to management’s judgment; therefore, the estimated fair value of the derivative liabilities will fluctuate from period to period, and the fluctuation may be material. The Company has not generated any revenues.  

Results of Operations – Nine months ended September 30, 2020 Compared to the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2019

OPERATING EXPENSES 

General and Administrative Expenses

General and administrative (“G&A”) expenses increased by $14,255 to $341,536 for the nine months ended September 30, 2020, compared to $327,281 for the prior period ended September 30, 2019. This increase in G&A expenses was the result of an increase in salary expense and professional fees.

Research and Development

Research and Development (“R&D”) expenses decreased by $62,022 to $118,582 for the nine months ended September 30, 2020, compared to $180,604 for the prior period ended September 30, 2019. This overall decrease in R&D expenses was the result of a decrease in consulting services and third-party services.

Depreciation

Depreciation expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019 was $3,274 and $5,798, respectively. 

Other Income/(Expenses)

Other income and (expenses) increased by $(18,728,371) to $(16,529,993) for the nine months ended September 30, 2020, compared to $2,198,378 for the prior period ended September 30, 2019. The decrease in other income and (expenses) was the result of an increase in non-cash loss on change in fair value of the derivative instruments of $18,775,145, and an increase in interest income of $42, with a decrease in interest expense of $46,732, which includes non-cash expense of amortization of debt discount in the amount of $38,816,. The increase in other income and (expenses) was primarily due to the net change in the fair value of the derivative instruments and amortization of debt discount.

Net Income (Loss)

Our net loss for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 was $(16,993,385), compared to a net income of $1,684,695 for the prior period ended September 30, 2019. The increase in net loss was due to an increase in non-cash other income (expenses) associated with the net change in derivative instruments estimated each period. These estimates are based on multiple inputs, including the market price of our stock, interest rates, our stock price volatility, variable conversion prices based on market prices as defined in the respective agreements and probabilities of certain outcomes based on management projections. These inputs are subject to significant changes from period to period and to management’s judgment; therefore, the estimated fair value of the derivative liabilities will fluctuate from period to period, and the fluctuation may be material. The Company has not generated any revenues during the nine months ended September 30, 2020. 

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Liquidity is the ability of a company to generate funds to support its current and future operations, satisfy its obligations, and otherwise operate on an ongoing basis. Significant factors in the management of liquidity are funds generated by operations, levels of accounts receivable and accounts payable and capital expenditures.

The unaudited condensed financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis of accounting, which contemplates continuity of operations, realization of assets and liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business. The accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements do not reflect any adjustments that might result if we are unable to continue as a going concern. During the nine months ended September 30, 2020, we did not generate any revenues, incurred a net loss of $16,993,385, due to an overall change in non-cash derivative liability, and used cash of $449,028 in operations. As of September 30, 2020, we had a working capital deficit of $27,066,309 and a shareholders’ deficit of $28,570,902. These factors, among others, raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.

In the three months ended September 30, 2020, we obtained funding through the sale of our convertible debt. Management believes that we will be able to continue to raise funds through the sale of our securities to existing and new investors. Management believes that funding from existing and prospective new investors and future revenue will provide the additional cash needed to meet our obligations as they become due and will allow the development of our core business operations. No assurance can be given that any future financing will be available or, if available, that it will be on terms that are satisfactory to the Company. Even if the Company is able to obtain additional financing, it may contain undue restrictions on our operations, in the case of debt financing or cause substantial dilution for our stockholders, in case of equity financing. 

As of September 30, 2020, we had a working capital deficit of $27,066,309 compared to a working capital deficit of $10,048,922 for the year ended December 31, 2019. This increase in working capital deficit of $17,289,203 was due primarily to an increase in accounts payable, and accrued expenses, derivative liability associated with our outstanding notes, with a decrease in prepaid expenses, and convertible notes.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2020, we used $449,028 of cash for operating activities, as compared to $532,620 for the prior period ended September 30, 2019. The decrease in the use of cash for operating activities for the current period was a result of a decrease in prepaid expenses, compared to the prior nine months ended September 30, 2019.

Cash provided from financing activities was $478,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2020, as compared to $523,500 for the prior period ended September 30, 2020. The decrease was due to decline in equity financing during the current period. The convertible notes are convertible into shares of common stock, which have limitations on conversion. The lender is limited to no more than a 4.99% beneficial ownership of the outstanding shares of common stock. Beneficial ownership is determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Our ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon raising capital through financing transactions and future revenue. Our capital needs have primarily been met from the proceeds of the sale of our securities, as we currently have not generated any revenues. 

Our independent auditors, in their report on our audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2019, expressed substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. Our financial statements as of September 30, 2020 have been prepared under the assumption that we will continue as a going concern. Our ability to continue as a going concern ultimately is dependent upon our ability to generate revenue, which is dependent upon our ability to obtain additional equity or debt financing, attain further operating efficiencies and, ultimately, to achieve profitable operations. Our financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

PLAN OF OPERATION AND FINANCING NEEDS

We are engaged in the development of innovative technologies that increase the capacity and reduce the cost of storing electrical energy. We are currently focusing on developing a high capacity silicon anode material technology to increase the storage capacity and reduce cost of the future generation of lithium-ion batteries for electric vehicles by 2021.  

Our plan of operation within the next three months is to utilize our cash balances to work on developing a new EV battery material processing technology.  We believe that our current cash and investment balances will be sufficient to support development activity and general and administrative expenses for the next two months. Management estimates that it will require additional cash resources during 2020, based upon its current operating plan and condition. We do not expect increased expenses during the third quarter of 2020.  We will be investigating additional financing alternatives, including equity and/or debt financing. There is no assurance that capital in any form would be available to us, and if available, on terms and conditions that are acceptable. If we are unable to obtain sufficient funds during the next three months, we may be forced to reduce the size of our organization, which could have a material adverse impact on, or cause us to curtail and/or cease the development of our products

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

As of September 30, 2020, we did not have any off- balance sheet arrangements that are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, revenues, result of operations, liquidity or capital expenditures.
