NEW ENERGY TECHNOLOGIES, INC.

 

(A Development Stage Company)

 

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

NOTE 1 - Organization and Going Concern

 

Basis of Presentation

 

The unaudited financial statements of New Energy Technologies, Inc. as of November 30, 2012, and for the three months ended November 30, 2012 and 2011, have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for interim financial reporting. 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, 2012, 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 results of operations for any interim period are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations for the entire year.

 

Organization

 

New Energy Technologies, Inc. (the “Company”) was incorporated in the State of Nevada on May 5, 1998, under the name “Octillion Corp.” On December 2, 2008, the Company amended its Articles of Incorporation to effect a change of name to New Energy Technologies, Inc. The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Sungen Energy, Inc. (“Sungen”), Kinetic Energy Corporation (“KEC”), and New Energy Solar Corporation (“New Energy Solar”).

 

Sungen was incorporated on July 11, 2006, in the State of Nevada and is currently inactive.

 

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 has entered into a License Agreement, an Addendum to the License Agreement, an Option Agreement and a Sponsored Research Agreement with the University of South Florida Research Foundation, Inc.

 

On March 16, 2011, pursuant to the Consents, the Company filed a Certificate of Amendment to its Certificate of Incorporation increasing its authorized shares of common stock, $0.001 par value, from 100,000,000 to 300,000,000.

 

On August 19, 2011, the Company established Nakoda, a California corporation and wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, which began operations in September 2011. Nakoda is an energy savings and management corporation that provides a broad range of energy solutions and savings projects with the goal of implementing energy conservation, load management, and reducing building energy consumption in target markets. Due to the high costs associated with growing operations and difficult financing environment, management suspended all Nakoda related operations as of November 30, 2011. On January 20, 2012, management completed the sale of Nakoda Energy, Inc. as described pursuant to a Stock Purchase Agreement. The Company did not recognize any revenue from Nakoda related operations nor were there any recorded assets or liabilities as of and during the periods presented.

 

The Company is a renewable and alternative energy company, actively developing two novel technologies for generating sustainable electricity, one of which harvests light energy from the sun and artificial sources, and the other harvests kinetic energy present in moving vehicles. The Company’s proprietary, patent-pending technologies and products, which are the subjects of fifty-six (56) patent-filings, have been invented, designed, engineered, and prototyped in preparation for further field testing, product development, and commercial deployment.

The Company’s SolarWindow™ Technology generates electricity when the electricity-generating coating is applied to glass surfaces, creating, semi-transparent, see-through solar cells. If successfully developed, SolarWindow™ could potentially be used on any of the more than 85 million commercial and residential buildings in the United States alone (U.S. Census Bureau, 2007 American Housing Survey & U.S. Energy Information Administration, 2003 Commercial Buildings Energy Consumption Survey).

 

The Company’s MotionPower™ Technology harvests the "kinetic" or "motion" energy of cars, trucks, buses, and heavy commercial vehicles when they pass over the system or slow down before coming to a stop. MotionPower™ converts this captured energy into electricity. If successfully developed, MotionPower™ could potentially be used to harvest kinetic energy generated by any of the estimated 250 million vehicles registered in America (U.S. Department of Transportation Federal Highway Administration, 2008 Highway Statistics), which drive approximately six billion miles on our nation’s roadways every day (U.S. Environmental Protection Agency).

 

The Company’s 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.

 

Going Concern

 

The Company is a development stage company, does not have any commercialized products and has not generated any revenue since inception. The Company has an accumulated deficit of $13,188,819 as of November 30, 2012, and does not have positive cash flows from operating activities. The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America, which contemplates continuation of the Company as a going concern, which is dependent upon the Company’s ability to establish itself as a profitable business.

 

In its report with respect to the Company’s financial statements for the year ended August 31, 2012, the Company’s independent auditors expressed substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Because the Company has not yet generated revenues from its operations and does not expect to do so in the near future, its ability to continue as a going concern is wholly dependent upon its ability to obtain additional financing. Currently, the Company is seeking additional financing but has no commitments to obtain any such financing, and there can be no assurance that financing will be available in amounts or on terms acceptable to the Company, if at all.

 

As of November 30, 2012, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $727,153. The Company will remain engaged in research and product development activities at least through February, 2013. Based upon its current and near term anticipated level of operations and expenditures, the Company believes that, absent any modification or expansion of its existing research, development and testing activities, cash on hand should be sufficient to enable it to continue operations through March 2013. However, any significant expansion in scope or acceleration in timing of the Company’s current research and development activities, or commencement of any marketing and sales activities, will require additional funds.

 

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 one or more of its research programs, sell rights to its SolarWindow™ Technology and/or MotionPowerTM Technology or other technologies or products based upon such technologies, or license the rights to such technologies or products on terms that are less favorable to the Company than might otherwise be available.

 

In view of these conditions, the ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is in substantial doubt and dependent upon achieving a profitable level of operations and on the ability of the Company to obtain necessary financing to fund ongoing operations. These consolidated financial statements do not give effect to any adjustments which will be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern and therefore be required to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in other than the normal course of business and at amounts different from those reflected in the accompanying consolidated financial statements.

NOTE 2 - Accounts Payable

 

At November 30, 2012, accounts payable totaling $58,976 consisted of $33,221 of professional services and $25,755 of trade payables. Accrued liabilities consisted of $44,141 of accrued interest on the Company's $1,000,000 outstanding bridge Loan agreement dated April 17, 2012.

 

At August 31, 2012, accounts payable totaling $63,403 consisted of $24,863 of professional services and $38,540 of trade payables. Accrued liabilities consisted of $26,231 of accrued interest on the Company's $1,000,000 outstanding bridge Loan agreement dated April 17, 2012.

 

NOTE 3 - Convertible Promissory Note

 

On April 17, 2012, the Company entered into a Bridge Loan Agreement (the “Loan Agreement”) with 1420524 Alberta Ltd. (the “Creditor”) pursuant to which the Company borrowed $1,000,000 at an annual interest rate of 7% (the “Loan”), compounded quarterly; following the occurrence of an event of default, as further specified in the Loan Agreement, the annual interest rate would increase to 15%. The Loan was evidenced by a promissory note with a maturity date of the earlier of: (a) the closing of any equity financing by us in excess of $1,000,000, or (b) April 16, 2013. As a condition to the Creditor’s entry into the Loan Agreement, we issued the Creditor 625,000 Series G Stock Purchase Warrants (the “Series G Warrants”), which are exercisable through April 17, 2016, with an initial exercise price of 84% of the average of the closing price for our common stock as reported on the OTCQB for the five trading days immediately preceding the closing of the Loan, or $1.92 per share, subject to adjustment as provided therein. Additionally, the Series G Warrants contain a cashless exercise provision and require us to file a registration statement with the SEC for the shares issuable upon exercise of the Series G Warrants within 60 days receipt of a written request by the Creditor. The Creditor may elect, in its sole discretion, to convert all or any portion of the outstanding principal amount of the Loan, and any or all accrued and unpaid interest thereon into shares of our common stock at an initial fixed conversion price equal to seventy (70%) percent of the average of the closing price for the Company’s common stock as reported on the OTCQB for the five trading days immediately preceding the closing of the Loan, or $1.60 per share subject to adjustment as provided therein.

 

The Company first allocated between the Loan and the warrants based upon their relative fair values. The estimated fair value of the warrants issued with the Loan of $1,207,750 was calculated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model and the following assumptions: market price of common stock - $2.12 per share; estimated volatility - 167%; risk free interest rate - 0.88%; expected dividend rate - 0% and expected life - 3.0 years. This resulted in allocating $547,050 to the warrants and $452,950 to the Loan.

 

Next, the intrinsic value of the beneficial conversion feature was computed as the difference between the fair value of the common stock issuable upon conversion of the Loan and the total price to convert based on the effective conversion price. The calculated intrinsic value was $872,050. As this amount resulted in a total debt discount that exceeds the loan proceeds, the amount recorded for the beneficial conversion feature was limited to $452,950. The resulting $1,000,000 discount to the Loan is being accreted over the one year term of the Loan using the effective interest method.

 

During the three months ended November 30, 2012, the Company recognized $17,910 of interest expense related to this Note and $15,796 of accretion related to the debt discount. The remaining debt discount of $983,689 will be amortized through April 16, 2013 with $499,501 recorded during the quarter ended February 28, 2013 and $484,188 recorded during the quarter ended May 31, 2013.

 

NOTE 4 - SolarWindow™ Technology

 

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

 

On March 18, 2011, in efforts to advance the commercial development of the SolarWindow™ Technology, the Company entered into a Stevenson-Wydler Cooperative Research and Development Agreement (the “CRADA”) with the Alliance for Sustainable Energy, LLC, which is the operator of The National Renewable Energy Laboratory (“NREL”) under its U.S. Department of Energy contract. Under terms of the CRADA, NREL researchers will make use of the Company’s exclusive intellectual property and NREL’s background intellectual property in order to work towards specific product development goals.

Pursuant to the CRADA, during the three months ended November 30, 2012 and 2011, we recorded $0 and $33,668, respectively, as research and development expense. From inception (May 5, 1998) to November 30, 2012, the Company recorded $287,079 as research and development expense.

 

University of South Florida Research Foundation, Inc. License Agreement, Option Agreement and Sponsored Research Agreement

 

Through New Energy Solar, we are a party to a License Agreement, an Addendum to the License Agreement, an Option Agreement and a Sponsored Research Agreement with the University of South Florida Research Foundation, Inc. These agreements provide for the Company's support of a project relating to the development of the SolarWindow™ Technology and grant it an exclusive worldwide commercial license under certain patents relating to the SolarWindow™ Technology.

 

On July 5, 2011, the Company entered into a letter agreement pursuant to which it agreed to reimburse the University of South Florida (“USF”) for filing fees associated with USF’s Provisional Patent and future PCT Applications (the “Applications”) for certain identified technologies (the “Letter Agreement”). Pursuant to the terms of the Letter Agreement, the Company committed to reimburse USF for all documented, out-of-pocket costs directly related to the filing and maintenance of the Applications. In return, USF granted the Company the exclusive right to negotiate a definitive option or license agreement with USF for the technologies underlying the Applications for a period of time after USF files a Provisional Patent for an identified technology (the “Negotiation Period”). Should the Negotiation Period expire without us entering into an agreement with USF, the Company could extend the Negotiation Period for an additional period of time by paying USF a one-time payment of a specified sum. If after this additional time the Company fails to enter into an agreement with USF, USF is free to enter into negotiations and license the underlying technologies to a third-party. The USF Research Foundation, Inc. granted the lead USF research scientist authorization to enter into discussions with the Company to extend the date of the Sponsored Research Agreement.  The Company anticipates the date of the Agreement will be extended until March 31, 2013.

 

During the three months ended November 30, 2012 and 2011, and from inception (May 5, 1998) to November 30, 2012, the Company recorded the following as research and development and patent related expense pursuant to these agreements:

 

   Three Months Ended November 30,   May 5, 1998
(Inception) to
 
   2012   2011   November 30, 2012 
University of South Florida:            
Research and development expense  $29,606   $17,853   $438,159 
Patent and PCT application expense   4,643    6,754    53,847 
Total  $34,249   $24,607   $492,006 

 

NOTE 5 - MotionPower™ Technology

 

Sigma Design Agreement

 

Through KEC, the Company continues to be a party to consulting agreements with Sigma Design Company, a Middlesex, New Jersey based engineering and design firm, pursuant to which Sigma Design provides ongoing engineering, product development and testing services primarily relating to the development of the MotionPower™ technology.

 

During the three months ended November 30, 2012 and 2011, the Company recorded $16,336 and $74,137, respectively, as research and development expense pursuant to these agreements. From inception (May 5, 1998) to November 30, 2012, the Company recorded $744,234 as research and development expense pursuant to these agreements. The Company continues to utilize Sigma Design Company on a consulting basis to further test, calibrate, and develop the MotionPower™ technology.

NOTE 6 - Stock Options

 

On October 10, 2006, the Company's Board of Directors (the "Board") adopted and approved the 2006 Incentive Stock Option Plan (the “2006 Stock Plan”) that provides for the grant of stock options to employees, directors, officers and consultants. Stock option grants vest over two to five years and expire ten years after the date of grant. Stockholders previously approved 5,000,000 shares for grant under the 2006 Plan, of which 4,064,995 remain available for grant at November 30, 2012. The Company does not repurchase shares to fulfill the requirements of options that are exercised. The Company issues new shares when options are exercised.

 

The Company measures all stock-based compensation based on the fair value on the grant date using the using the Black-Scholes-Merton formula and recognizes expense over the requisite service period. The Black-Scholes model requires management to make assumptions regarding option time to expiration, expected volatility, and risk-free interest rates, all of which have a significant impact on the fair value of the option.

 

The risk-free interest rate is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant for a bond with a similar term. The Company does not anticipate declaring dividends in the foreseeable future. Volatility is calculated based on the historical closing stock prices. The Company uses the “simplified” method for determining the expected term of its “plain vanilla” stock options. The Company recognizes compensation expense for only the portion of stock options that are expected to vest. Therefore, the Company applies an estimated forfeiture rate that is derived from historical employee termination data and adjusted for expected future employee turnover rates. If the actual number of forfeitures differs from those estimated by the Company, additional adjustments to compensation expense may be required in future periods.

 

A summary of the Company’s stock option activity for the three months ended November 30, 2012 and the years ended August 31, 2012 and 2011, and related information follows:

 

   Number of Options   Weighted Average Exercise Price ($)  Weighted Average Remaining Contractual Term  Aggregate Intrinsic Value ($)
              
Outstanding at August 31, 2010   900,003   1.71      
Grants   610,002   5.97      
Exercises   (73,334)  1.61      
Forfeitures   (476,666)  5.59      
Outstanding at August 31, 2011   960,005   2.49      
Forfeitures   (98,334)  5.93      
Outstanding at August 31, 2012    861,671   2.10      
Forfeitures   (5,000)  3.27      
Outstanding at November 30, 2012   856,671   2.09  7.06 years  $0
               
Exercisable at November 30, 2012   385,666   2.39  6.36 years  $0
               
Available for grant at November 30, 2012   4,064,995          

 

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 fiscal 2012 and the exercise price, multiplied by the number of shares) that would have been received by the option holders had all option holders exercised their options on November 30, 2012. 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 $0.81 on November 30, 2012 and no outstanding options have an exercise price below $1.32 per share, as of November 30, 2012, there is no intrinsic value to our outstanding stock options.

 

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, 2012 and 2011, and from May 5, 1998 (inception) to November 30, 2012:

As of November 30, 2012, the Company had $93,551 of unrecognized compensation cost related to unvested stock options which is expected to be recognized over a period of 2.75 years.

 

Stock Option Activity During the Three Months Ended November 30, 2012

 

On December 10, 2012, Mr. Peter Fusaro resigned from the Board. As a result of his resignation, Mr. Fusaro forfeited 5,000 unvested stock options and had vested 11,667 stock options. Total stock based compensation expense related to Mr. Fusaro's options was $48,850 of which $44,270 was expensed through August 31, 2012. On November 30, 2012, the Company reversed $10,075 of expense related to forfeited options on which expense was previously recorded resulting in total recognized expense related to Mr. Fusaro's options of $34,195. Mr. Fusaro has until December 10, 2014, to exercise his 11,667 vested stock options.

 

Stock Option Activity During the Years Ended August 31, 2012

 

On December 8, 2011, Mr. Todd Pitcher resigned from the Board. Mr. Pitcher had vested 6,667 stock options and forfeited 10,000 unvested stock options. During the year ended August 31, 2011, the Company recorded stock based compensation of $27,784 for the amortization of the fair value of his stock option. Since the stock option was forfeited prior to 10,000 options vesting, $8,243 previously recognized for stock based compensation was reversed on November 30, 2011, resulting in total stock based compensation expense related to Mr. Pitcher’s stock option grant of $19,541. Mr. Pitcher has until December 8, 2013, to exercise his 6,667 vested stock options.

 

On August 12, 2012, 83,334 vested options held by Mr. Andrew Farago, the Company's former Chief Operating Officer expired unexercised.

 

On September 30, 2012, Mr. Javier Jimenez resigned from the Board. As a result of his resignation, Mr. Jimenez forfeited 5,000 unvested stock options and had vested 11,667 stock options. During the years ended August 31, 2012 and 2011, the Company recorded stock based compensation of $66,252 and $25,528, respectively for the amortization of the fair value of his stock option of which $9,117 and $14,588 relate to the forfeited options. Since the stock option was forfeited prior to 5,000 options vesting, $23,705 previously recognized for stock based compensation was reversed on August 31, 2012, resulting in total stock based compensation expense related to Mr. Jimenez's stock option grant of $68,075. Mr. Jimenez has until September 30, 2014, to exercise his 11,667 vested stock options.

NOTE 7 - Net Loss Per Share

 

During the three months ended November 30, 2012 and 2011, 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 for the past two fiscal years because to do so would be antidilutive. Excluded from the computation of diluted net loss per share for the three months ended November 30, 2012, are stock options to acquire 856,671 shares of common stock with a weighted-average exercise price of $2.10 per share, warrants to acquire 625,000 shares of common stock with a weighted-average exercise price of $1.92 per share and convertible debt convertible into 625,000 shares of common stock upon conversion with a conversion price of $1.60 per share. Excluded from the computation of diluted net loss per share for the three months ended November 30, 2011, are stock options to acquire 950,005 shares of common stock with a weighted-average exercise price of $2.48 per share.

 

Following is the computation of basic and diluted net loss per share for the three months ended November 30, 2012 and 2011:

Forward-Looking Statements

 

This Report on Form 10-Q contains forward-looking statements which involve assumptions and describe our future plans, strategies, and expectations, and are generally identifiable by use of words such as “may,” “will,” “should,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “estimate,” “believe,” “intend,” or “project,” or the negative of these words or other variations on these words or comparable terminology. These statements are expressed in good faith and based upon a reasonable basis when made, but there can be no assurance that these expectations will be achieved or accomplished.

 

Such forward-looking statements include statements regarding, among other things, (a) the potential markets for our technologies, our potential profitability, and cash flows, (b) our growth strategies, (c) expectations from our ongoing research and development activities, (d) anticipated trends in the technology industry, (e) our future financing plans, and (f) our anticipated needs for working capital. This information may involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties, and other factors that may cause our actual results, performance, or achievements to be materially different from the future results, performance, or achievements expressed or implied by any forward-looking statements. These statements may be found under “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” as well as in this Form 10-Q generally. Actual events or results may differ materially from those discussed in forward-looking statements as a result of various factors, including, without limitation, the matters described in this Form 10-Q generally. In light of these risks and uncertainties, there can be no assurance that the forward-looking statements contained in this filing will in fact occur. In addition to the information expressly required to be included in this filing, we will provide such further material information, if any, as may be necessary to make the required statements, in light of the circumstances under which they are made, not misleading.

 

Although forward-looking statements in this report reflect the good faith judgment of our management, forward-looking statements are inherently subject to known and unknown risks, business, economic and other risks and uncertainties that may cause actual results to be materially different from those discussed in these forward-looking statements. Readers are urged not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date of this report. We assume no obligation to update any forward-looking statements in order to reflect any event or circumstance that may arise after the date of this report, other than as may be required by applicable law or regulation. Readers are urged to carefully review and consider the various disclosures made by us in our reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission which attempt to advise interested parties of the risks and factors that may affect our business, financial condition, results of operation and cash flows. If one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize, or if the underlying assumptions prove incorrect our actual results may vary materially from those expected or projected.

 

Except where the context otherwise requires and for purposes of this Form 10-Q only, “we,” “us,” “our,” “Company,” “our Company,” and “New Energy” refer to New Energy Technologies, Inc., a Nevada corporation, and its consolidated subsidiaries.

 

Overview

 

We were incorporated in the State of Nevada on May 5, 1998, under the name “Octillion Corp.” On December 2, 2008, we amended our Articles of Incorporation to effect a change of name to New Energy Technologies, Inc. The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Sungen, KEC and New Energy Solar. Sungen was incorporated on July 11, 2006, in the State of Nevada and is currently inactive. KEC was incorporated on June 19, 2008, in the State of Nevada and holds the patents related to our MotionPower™ technology. Our 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 has entered into a License Agreement, an Addendum to the License Agreement, an Option Agreement and a Sponsored Research Agreement with the University of South Florida Research Foundation, Inc.

We are a development stage renewable and alternative energy company developing two (2) sustainable electricity generating systems. These novel technologies are branded as SolarWindow™ and MotionPower™. Our proprietary, patent-pending technologies are the subject of fifty-six (56) US and international Patent filings. Our SolarWindow™ Technology provides the ability to harvest light energy from the sun and artificial sources and generate electricity from a see-through, semi-transparent, coating of OPV solar cells. Our SolarWindow™ Technology is the subject of eleven (11) patent filings. Our MotionPower™ Technology, harvests “kinetic” or “motion” energy from vehicles when they slow down before coming to a stop and converts this captured energy into electricity. Our MotionPower™ Technology is the subject of forty-five (45) patent filings.

 

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 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 our contract engineers, scientists, and consultants.

 

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

 

We cannot accurately predict the amount of funding or the time required to successfully commercialize either the SolarWindow™ Technology or the MotionPower™ Technology. The actual cost and time required to commercialize these technologies may vary significantly depending on, among other things, the results of our research and development efforts, the cost of developing, acquiring, or licensing various enabling technologies, changes in the focus and direction of our research and development 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, 2012, we had working capital of $634,811. Based upon our current level of operations and expenditures, we believe that, absent any modification or expansion of our existing research, development and testing, cash on hand should be sufficient to enable us to continue operations through at least March 2013. However, any significant expansion in scope or acceleration in time of our current research and development activities, or commencement of any marketing activities, will require additional funds.

 

Research and Related Agreements

 

We are a party to certain agreements related to the development of our SolarWindow™ Technology and our MotionPower™ Technology. These agreements, and certain effects of these agreements on our financial statements for the periods presented in this prospectus, are summarized in the notes to our financial statements, see

 

NOTE 4 - SolarWindow™ Technology and NOTE 5 - MotionPower™ Technology above.

 

Results of Operations

 

Three Months Ended November 30, 2012 Compared with the Three Months Ended November 30, 2011

 

Operating Expenses

 

A summary of our operating expense for the three months ended November 30, 2012 and 2011 follows:

 

 

13
 

 

   Three Months Ended         
   November 30,   Increase /   Percentage 
   2012   2011   (Decrease)   Change 
Operating expense                    
Selling, general and administrative  $278,391   $440,843   $(162,452)   -37%
Research and development   72,225    130,192    (57,967)   -45%
Stock compensation   23,140    74,432    (51,292)   -69%
Total operating expense  $373,756   $645,467   $(271,711)   -42%

 

Selling, General and Administrative

 

Selling, general and administrative (“SG&A”) costs include all expenditures incurred other than research and development related costs, including costs related to personnel, professional fees, travel and entertainment, public company costs, insurance and other office related costs. The $162,452 year-over-year decrease is primarily due to a $105,020 decrease in patent related legal and filing fees, $50,965 decrease in legal, accounting and board fees, $17,483 decrease in travel and entertainment costs and $13,146 decrease in other general and administrative costs offset by a $24,162 increase in personnel related costs as a result of higher headcount.

 

Stock Compensation

 

Stock compensation represents the expense associated with the amortization of our stock options. During the three months ended November 30, 2012, stock compensation expense decreased $51,292 to $23,140 compared to $74,432 during the three months ended November 30, 2011. As of November 30, 2012, there is $93,551 remaining to be expensed through 2015 related to the currently outstanding stock options.

 

Research and Development

 

Research and development (“R&D”) costs represent costs incurred to develop our SolarWindow™ and MotionPower™ technologies and are incurred pursuant to our research agreements and agreements with other third party providers. Payments under these agreements include salaries and benefits for R&D personnel, allocated overhead and facility occupancy costs, contract services and other costs. R&D costs are expensed when incurred, except for nonrefundable advance payments for future research and development activities which are capitalized and recognized as expense as the related services are performed. See “Research and Related Agreements” above for disclosure regarding the terms and amounts incurred under our research agreements.

 

The amount of R&D expense incurred for our various research related agreements follows:

 

      Three Months Ended   May 5, 1998 
   Development  November 30,   (Inception) to 
   Activity  2012   2011   November 30, 2012 
University of Illinois  Solar WindowTM  $-   $-   $422,818 
Alliance for Sustainable Energy, LLC  Solar WindowTM   -    33,668    287,079 
University of South Florida  Solar WindowTM   29,606    17,853    438,159

Other Income (Expense)

 

A summary of our other income (expense) for the three months ended November 30, 2012 and 2011 follows:

 

   Three Months Ended     
   November 30,   Increase/ 
   2012   2011   (Decrease) 
Other income (expense)               
Interest expense-other  $(17,910)  $-   $(17,910)

Payable written off   -    156,109    (156,109)
Total other income (expense)  $(33,706)  $156,077   $(189,783)

 

Interest Expense

 

Interest expense of $17,910 relates to the 7% stated interest of the April 17, 2012 Bridge Loan. Interest expense - accretion of debt discount also relates to the April 17, 2012, Bridge Loan and represents the accretion of the discount applied to the loan as a result of the issuance of 625,000 detachable warrants and the beneficial conversion feature contained in the Bridge Loan and is calculated according to the effective interest method.

 

Payable written off

 

Through our wholly-owned subsidiary, Sungen Energy, Inc., we were a party to a Sponsored Research Agreement with the UIUC that provided for our support of the development of a new technology to integrate films of silicon nanoparticle material on glass substrates. This agreement expired on August 22, 2008. As of such date, we had advanced a total of $266,709 to UIUC pursuant to the terms of the agreement. Pursuant to the terms of the agreement, we were to advance an additional $156,109 UIUC, which is included in other accrued liabilities at August 31, 2011. We had not made the advance pending determination as to whether funds previously paid to UIUC under the terms of the agreement had been fully expended. We were of the opinion that to the extent these funds were not expended by UCIC, we were not obligated to make any further payments to UCIC. During the year ended August 31, 2012, we evaluated the status of the aforementioned agreement and related contingent liability to UIUC and determined that the $156,109 liability is no longer valid and has been reclassified to other income.

 

Discontinued Operations

 

On August 19, 2011, we established Nakoda, a California corporation and wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, which began operations in September 2011. Nakoda was an energy savings and management corporation that provided a broad range of energy solutions and savings projects with the goal of implementing energy conservation, load management, and reducing building energy consumption in target markets. In January, 2012, we divested ourselves of Nakoda due to the high costs associated with growing operations and difficult financing environment resulting in a loss of $135,461 recorded as discontinued operations for the three months ended November 30, 2011.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming we will continue as a going concern. We have an accumulated deficit of $13,188,819 through November 30, 2012. Due to the “start-up” nature of our business, we expect to incur losses as we continue development of our photovoltaic and energy harvesting technologies and expand. 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 expand the range and scope of its business operations. We will seek access to private or public equity but there is no assurance that such additional funds will be available for us to finance our operations on acceptable terms, if at all. If we are unable to raise additional capital or generate positive cash flow, it is unlikely that we will be able to continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

 

 

15
 

 

Our principal source of liquidity is cash in the bank. At November 30, 2012, we had a cash and cash equivalent balance of $727,153. We have financed our operations primarily pursuant to a securities purchase agreement in which we received net proceeds of $3,395,955 in February 2008, from the exercise of warrants and stock options and $1,000,000 of proceeds from a bridge loan on April 17, 2012.

 

Net cash used in operating activities was $319,765 for the three months ended November 30, 2012, compared to net cash used in operating activities of $599,776 for the three months ended November 30, 2011. The decrease in cash used in operating activities, excluding the loss from discontinued operations of $135,461, substantially reflects decreases in amounts paid for research and selling, general and administrative costs.

 

Net cash used by investing activities was $0 and $20,299 for the three months ended November 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively.

 

No cash was provided by financing activities during the three months ended November 30, 2012 or 2011.

 

Other Contractual Obligations

 

In addition to our contractual obligations under the research agreements, as of November 30, 2012, we have future minimum lease payments of $1,100 each month under our corporate and other office operating leases. In addition, we have future minimum payments totaling $13,000 pursuant to agreements with third party providers that we utilize for investor and public relations and marketing and business development.

 

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

 

We have no off-balance sheet arrangements.

 

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

 

We review new accounting standards as issued. Although some of these accounting standards issued or effective after the end of our previous fiscal year may be applicable to us, we have not identified any standards that we believe merit further discussion. We believe that none of the new standards will have a significant impact on our consolidated financial statements.

 

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

 

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, we conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”), as of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report. Based on this evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that as of November 30, 2012 that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective such that the information required to be disclosed in our United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) reports is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms, and is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
