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 May 31, 2013, and for the three and nine months ended May 31, 2013 and 2012, 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 agreements with the University of South Florida Research Foundation, Inc. to sponsor research related to the Company’s SolarWindow™ Technology.

On March 16, 2011, pursuant to a consent signed by the Company’s shareholders owning more than 50% of the Company’s issued and outstanding shares of common stock, 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 Energy, Inc., 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. 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 collects light energy from the sun and artificial sources (SolarWindow™), and the other harvests kinetic energy present in moving vehicles (MotionPower™). The Company’s proprietary, patent-pending technologies and products, which are the subjects of sixty-six (66) patent-filings, have been invented, designed, engineered, and prototyped in preparation for further field testing, product development, and eventual commercial deployment.

The Company’s SolarWindow™ Technology generates electrical energy when the electricity-generating coating is applied to glass and plastic 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 has filed seven (7) new Patent related to the SolarWindow™ Technology since our last 10-Q filing. The Company’s SolarWindow™ Technology is the subject of a total of twenty-one (21) patent filings.
 
The Company’s MotionPower™ Technology harvests, or captures, 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 MotionPower™ Technology is the subject of forty-five (45) patent filings.

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.
 
The Company continues to assess the ongoing development and value propositions of its novel SolarWindow™ and MotionPower™ technologies. This assessment helps us strategically focus on specific technology development which best delivers significant long-term commercial competitive advantages.

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 $16,547,420 as of May 31, 2013, and does not have positive cash flows from operating activities. Included in the deficit are non cash expenses totaling $4,570,869 relating to the issuance of stock for services, compensatory stock options, warrants granted for value and accretion of debt discount. 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.

On February 1, 2013, the Company received $1,200,000 from an equity financing through the sale of its securities. As of May 31, 2013, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $715,835. The Company will remain engaged in research and product development activities at least through January 2015. 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 October 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 public and investor relations 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 - 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 convertible promissory note with a maturity date of the earlier of: (a) the closing of any equity financing by the Company in excess of $1,000,000, or (b) April 16, 2013 (the “2012 Promissory Note”). As a condition to the Creditor’s entry into the Loan Agreement, the Company issued the Creditor 625,000 Series G Stock Purchase Warrants (the “Series G Warrants”), which are exercisable through April 17, 2015, with an initial exercise price of 84% of the average of the closing price for our common stock as reported on the OTC Markets Group Inc. QB tier (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. According to the original terms of the Loan Agreement, the Creditor could 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 debt discount attributable to the relative fair value of the warrants and the beneficial conversion feature amounted to $547,050 and $452,950, respectively, and was to be accreted over the term of the Loan using the effective interest method.

On February 1, 2013, the Company and the Creditor entered into a Loan Conversion Agreement (“LCA”) whereby the Creditor agreed to convert the entire balance outstanding, including $1,000,000 of principal and $56,556 of accrued interest payable into 1,650,869 shares of restricted common stock. In order to induce the Creditor to convert the Loan into shares of common stock, and eliminate the Company’s obligation to repay the Loan in cash, the effective conversion price was reduced to $0.64 (the price at which the Company sold shares pursuant to its self-directed registered offering; see “NOTE 3 – Stockholders’ Equity (Deficit)” below) from the initial conversion price of $1.60. In addition, as an inducement to convert, the Company issued to the Creditor 825,435 Series H Warrants and reduced the exercise price of the Series G Warrants to $0.64 (See “NOTE 3 – Stockholders’ Equity (Deficit)” below for additional information). No incremental expense was recognized in these consolidated financial statements related to the reduction in the exercise price of the Series G Warrants, and the conversion of the Loan, because the transaction did not meet the requirements for an inducement under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. As such, the Loan conversion was accounted for as a debt extinguishment with no gain or loss recognized due to the related party nature of the transaction. The Company recognized expense amounting to $1,059,038 for the issuance of the Series H warrants to the Creditor, representing additional financing costs associated with the Loan.

During the three and nine months ended May 31, 2013, the Company recognized $0 and $30,325, respectively, of interest expense related to the 2012 Promissory Note. During the three and nine months ended May 31, 2012, the Company recognized $8,438 of interest expense related to the 2012 Promissory Note.

During the three and nine months ended May 31, 2013, the Company recognized $0 and $999,485, respectively, of accretion related to the Loan discount. As a result of the Loan conversion, the debt discount was fully amortized by February 1, 2013, the date of the LCA.

NOTE 3 – Stockholders’ Equity (Deficit)

On February 1, 2013, in full satisfaction of the 2012 Promissory Note, the Company issued to the Creditor 1,650,869 shares of restricted common stock upon the conversion of the 2012 Promissory Note, as adjusted in accordance with the terms of the LCA. Additionally, pursuant to the terms of the LCA, the Company issued to the Creditor 825,435 Series H Warrants and reduced the exercise price of the Series G Warrants to $0.64 (See “Note 2 - Convertible Promissory Note” above for additional information).

On February 1, 2013, the Company completed a self-directed registered offering of 1,875,000 units at a price of $0.64 per unit for $1,200,000 in aggregate proceeds (the “Registered Offering”). Each unit consisted of one share of the Company’s common stock and one-half Series H stock purchase warrant (“Series H Warrant”) to purchase one-half of a share of common stock at the initial exercise price of $0.83 per share for a period of three years from the date of issuance. The Company issued 937,503 Series H Warrants as part of the Registered Offering. The relative fair value of the common stock was estimated to be $638,717 and the relative fair value of the warrants was estimated to be $561,283 as determined based on the relative fair value allocation of the proceeds received. The Series H Warrants were valued using the Black-Scholes option pricing model using the following variables: $0.83 exercise price, $1.48 stock price, 161% volatility, 0.40% risk-free interest rate, 3 year term and no dividends.

On March 21, 2013, the Company issued 7,812 shares of common stock upon the exercise of an equal number of Series H Warrants and received proceeds of $6,484.
 
Warrants

Each of the Company’s warrants outstanding entitle the holder to purchase one share of the Company’s common stock for each warrant share held. A summary of the Company’s warrants outstanding and exercisable as of May 31, 2013 and August 31, 2012 is as follows:

The Series G Warrants were issued on April 17, 2012 as a condition to the Creditor entering into the Loan Agreement more fully described above under “Note 2 - Convertible Promissory Note.” In order to induce the Creditor to convert the Loan into shares of the Company’s common stock, the initial exercise price of $1.92 was reduced to $0.64. Additionally, the Series G Warrants contain a cashless exercise provision and registration rights requiring 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.

As inducement to convert the Loan, on February 1, 2013, the Company issued to the Creditor 825,435 Series H Warrants (See “Note 2 - Convertible Promissory Note” above for additional information). The warrants have an exercise price of $0.83 per share, expire on the third anniversary of the LCA, or on February 1, 2016 and may be exercised in whole or in part at any time from the date of issuance through expiration. Based on the following Black-Scholes Option Pricing Model assumptions: exercise price - $0.83; market price of common stock - $1.48 per share; estimated volatility - 161%; risk free interest rate - 0.40%; expected dividend rate - 0%; and expected life - 3.0 years, the Company calculated the fair value of these warrants to be $1,059,038.

On February 1, 2013, as part of the Registered Offering, the Company issued 937,503 Series H Warrants (See “Note 3 – Stockholders’ Equity (Deficit)” above for additional information).

During the three and nine months ended May 31, 2013, the Company received $6,484 upon the exercise of 7,812 Series H warrants by two warrant holders.

NOTE 4 - 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 3,892,495 remain available for grant and 136,667 options have been exercised as of May 31, 2013. All shares approved for grant and subsequently forfeited are available for future grant. The Company does not repurchase shares to fulfill the requirements of options that are exercised. The Company issues new shares when options are exercised.

The Company measures all stock-based compensation based on the fair value on the grant date 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 nine months ended May 31, 2013 and the years ended August 31, 2012 and 2011, and related information follows:

The aggregate intrinsic value in the table above represents the total pretax intrinsic value for all “in-the-money” options (i.e. the difference between the Company’s closing stock price on the last trading day of the period covered by this report and the exercise price, multiplied by the number of shares) that would have been received by the option holders had all in-the-money option holders exercised their options on May 31, 2013. The intrinsic value of the option changes based upon the fair market value of the Company’s common stock. Since the closing stock price was $2.11 on May 31, 2013 and 828,335 outstanding options have an exercise price below $2.11 per share, as of May 31, 2013, there is intrinsic value to our outstanding in-the-money 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 and nine months ended May 31, 2013 and 2012, and from May 5, 1998 (inception) to May 31, 2013:

Stock Option Activity During the Nine Months Ended May 31, 2013

On December 20, 2012, the Company granted two stock options to purchase up to 15,000 (a 10,000 and 5,000 option grant, respectively) shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $0.80 per share, the fair market value of the Company’s common stock on the date of grant, to two employees as partial compensation for services. The stock options expire ten years from the date of grant, on December 20, 2022 and vest as follows: (a) 7,500 shares vest immediately on the date of grant and (b) 7,500 shares on the one-year anniversary on December 20, 2013. The stock options are further subject to the terms and conditions of a stock option agreement between the Company and the employees. Under the terms of the stock option agreement, the stock option agreement will terminate and there will be no further vesting of stock options effective as of the date that employees cease to be one of the Company’s employees. Upon termination of such service, the employee will have a specified period of time to exercise vested stock options, if any. The grant date fair value of the stock option granted was $11,700, or $0.78 per option, estimated using the Black-Scholes model containing the following assumptions: Exercise price / spot price of $0.80 per share, dividend yield of 0%, volatility of 160.1%, risk-free rate of 1.14%, and a term of 7.67 years. During the three and nine months ended May 31, 2013, the Company recognized $1,463 and $8,775, respectively of expense related to these two issuances.

On April 27, 2012, pursuant to his employment agreement, the Company’s Vice President of Business and Technology Development, Mr. John Patrick Thompson received a grant of 100,000 stock options. The options have an exercise price of $2.30, the fair market value of the Company’s common stock on the date of grant. The stock options expire ten years from the date of grant, on April 27, 2022 and vest in various amounts upon the meeting of certain milestones and which vesting is subject to Board approval. The stock option is further subject to the terms and conditions of a stock option agreement between the Company and the employee. Under the terms of the stock option agreement, the stock option agreement will terminate and there will be no further vesting of stock options effective as of the date the employee ceases to be one of the Company’s employees. Upon termination of such service, the employee will have a specified period of time to exercise vested stock options, if any. The grant date fair value of the stock option granted was $225,000, or $2.25 per option, estimated using the Black-Scholes model containing the following assumptions: Exercise price / spot price of $2.30 per share, dividend yield of 0%, volatility of 167.1%, risk-free rate of 1.34%, and term of 7.67 years. The Company recognizes compensation cost associated with this stock option grant with performance conditions when the Company determines that it is probable that certain milestones will be achieved. On December 20, 2012, the Company’s Board determined that milestones related to 2,500 options were substantially met and during the three and nine months ended May 31, 2013, the Company recognized $5,625 of expense related to this award.

On January 23, 2013, the Board approved, and the Company granted, a stock option to each of the Company’s four directors, including John Conklin, CEO, to purchase 40,000 shares of its common stock at an exercise price of $1.65 per share, the fair market value of the Company’s common stock on the date of grant. Each stock option expires ten years from the date the applicable stock option agreement was executed, on January 23, 2023, and vests as follows: (a) 20,000 shares vest immediately on the date of grant and (b) 20,000 shares on the one-year anniversary on January 23, 2014. The stock options are further subject to the terms and conditions of a stock option agreement between the Company and each director. Under the terms of the stock option agreement, the stock option agreement will terminate and there will be no further vesting of stock options effective as of the date that the director ceases to be one of the Company’s directors. Upon termination of such service, the director will have a specified period of time to exercise vested stock options, if any. The grant date fair value of each of the stock options granted to each of the Company’s directors was $64,386 estimated using a Black-Scholes model containing the following assumptions: Exercise price / spot price of $1.65 per share, dividend yield of 0%, volatility of 161.1%, risk-free rate of 1.24%, and a term of 7.67 years. During the three and nine months ended May 31, 2013, the Company recognized $32,193 and $193,157 of expense related to this issuance.

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 Year 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 with an exercise price of $3.27 per share. 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 with an exercise price of $6.21 per share 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 with an exercise price of $3.27 per share. The Company recorded stock based compensation totaling $91,780 related to the amortization of the fair value of this stock option grant, including the recognition of $66,252 and $25,528 of expense for the years ended August 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively. 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 5 - Net Loss Per Share

During the three and nine months ended May 31, 2013 and 2012, 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.

Following is the computation of basic and diluted net loss per share for the three and nine months ended May 31, 2013 and 2012:

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 change our name to New Energy Technologies, Inc. The accompanying consolidated financial statements include our accounts and those of our 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 agreements with the University of South Florida Research Foundation, Inc. to sponsor research related to the Company’s SolarPower™ Technology. Although we are in the process of negotiating terms and conditions for a new world-wide licensing agreement for completed research and related patent filings, it is not certain when or if such a license will be finalized.
 
 
17

 

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 sixty-six (66) 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 applied to glass and plastics. Our SolarWindow™ Technology is the subject of twenty-one (21) 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 May 31, 2013, we had working capital of $852,949. 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 December, 2013. However, any significant expansion in scope or acceleration in time of our current research and development activities, or commencement of any marketing activities, and public and investor relations 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.

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

In efforts to advance the commercial development of the SolarWindow™ Technology, on March 18, 2011, we entered into a Stevenson-Wydler Cooperative Research and Development Agreement (the “CRADA”) with Alliance for Sustainable Energy, LLC (“Alliance”), 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 our exclusive intellectual property (“IP”), newly developed IP, and NREL’s background IP in order to work towards specific product development goals. Under the terms of the CRADA, we agreed to reimburse Alliance for filing fees associated with all documented, out-of-pocket costs directly related to patent application preparation and filings, and maintenance of the patent applications.
 
 
18

 

On January 16, 2013, we entered into a modification to the CRADA for the purpose of extending the date pursuant to which NREL’s researchers will make use of the Company’s exclusive IP and NREL’s background IP. As part of the extension, we advanced $150,000 to Alliance as a retainer, which will be used once the development goals are met. Until such time, however, Alliance bills us monthly for R&D related costs as they are incurred.

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

·  
Further improve SolarWindow™ efficiency and transparency;
·  
Optimize electrical power (current and voltage) output;
·  
Optimize the application of the active layer coatings which make it possible for SolarWindow™ to generate electricity on glass surfaces;
·  
Develop improved electricity-generating coatings by enhancing performance, processing, reliability, and durability;
·  
Optimize SolarWindow™ performance on flexible substrates; and
·  
Develop high speed and large area roll-to-roll (R2R) and sheet-to-sheet (S2S) coating methods required for commercial-scale BIPV and windows.

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 our support of a project relating to the development of the SolarWindow™ Technology and grant us an exclusive worldwide commercial license for patents relating to the SolarWindow™ Technology developed at the University of South Florida (“USF”).

On July 5, 2011, we entered into a letter agreement pursuant to which we agreed to reimburse USF for patent application preparation and filing fees associated with USF’s patent applications (the “Applications”) for certain identified technologies (the “Letter Agreement”). Pursuant to the terms of the Letter Agreement, we 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 us 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 patent for an identified technology (the “Negotiation Period”). Should the Negotiation Period expire without us entering into an agreement with USF, we 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 we fail 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 us to extend the date of the Sponsored Research Agreement. We mutually agreed with USF to terminate the sponsored research on February 23, 2013, as the scope of work of the sponsored research had been substantially comleted. We are in the process of negotiating terms to a new world-wide licensing agreement for completed research and related patent filings.

Sigma Design Agreement

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

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. During the three months ended May 31, 2013 compared to the three months ended May 31, 2012, SG&A costs increased by $78,620 due to higher public company costs primarily related to fees paid to publicize our SolarWindow™ and MotionPower™ technologies within the industry and investor community offset by a decrease in professional fees, personnel and other general costs.

During the nine months ended May 31, 2013 compared to the nine months ended May 31, 2012, SG&A costs decreased by $991 due to higher personnel costs, travel related costs and public company costs primarily related to fees paid to publicize our SolarWindow™ and MotionPower™ technologies within the industry and investor community offset by a decrease in professional fees, patent application costs and other general costs

Stock Compensation

Stock compensation represents the expense associated with the amortization of our stock options and other equity based payments. During the nine months ended May 31, 2013, stock compensation expense increased $1,148,827 due to 1) $1,059,038 recognized upon the issuance of Series H Warrants granted as an inducement to convert the 2012 Promissory Note and accrued interest payable of $56,556 into shares of common stock and 2) the expense associated with the grant of 177,500 stock options during the nine months ended May 31, 2013 and related vesting.

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 and certain internal R&D cost allocations. 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 certain terms under our research agreements.

R&D costs decreased during the three and nine months ended May 31, 2013 compared to the three and nine months ended May 31, 2012 due to the phase of technology development associated with the CRADA conducted at the Stevenson-Wydler with the Alliance for Sustainable Energy, LLC, which is the operator of The National Renewable Energy Laboratory under its U.S. Department of Energy contract; and a decrease in R&D costs related to services being performed by Sigma due to prototype fabrication and, an analysis of data and information associated with tested prototypes.

Interest Expense

“Interest expense – other” relates to the 7% stated interest of the Loan. “Interest expense - accretion of debt discount” also relates to the 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 Loan and is calculated according to the effective interest method. As a result of the conversion of the 2012 Promissory Note, the entire balance of the debt discount was recorded as interest expense during 2013.

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 $16,541,195 as of May 31, 2013. Included in the deficit are non cash expenses totaling $4,570,869 relating to the issuance of stock for services, compensatory stock options, warrants granted for value and accretion of debt discount. Due to the “start-up” nature of our business, we expect to incur losses as we continue development of our 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 likely be necessary. We expect to raise additional funds through private or public equity investment in order to expand the range and scope of 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.

Our principal source of liquidity is cash in the bank. At May 31, 2013, we had a cash and cash equivalent balance of $715,835. 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, $1,000,000 of proceeds from the Loan and most recently $1,200,000 from the consummation of a self-directed registered offering of shares and warrants on February 1, 2013.

Net cash used in operating activities was $1,537,566 for the nine months ended May 31, 2013, compared to net cash used in operating activities of $1,778,898 for the nine months ended May 31, 2012. Excluding the loss from discontinued operations of $242,210 during the nine months ended May 31, 2012, net cash used in operating activities decreased $878.

Net cash used by investing activities was $0 and $24,458 for the nine months ended May 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively.

Net cash provided by financing activities was $1,206,483 and $1,000,000 for the nine months ended May 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively.

Other Contractual Obligations

In addition to our contractual obligations under the research agreements, as of May 31, 2013, we have future minimum lease payments of $1,341 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 May 31, 2013 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.

Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) that occurred during the period covered by this report that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II – OTHER INFORMATION

Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds

On February 1, 2013, the Company and 1420524 Alberta Ltd. (the “Creditor”) entered into a Loan Conversion Agreement (“LCA”) whereby the Creditor agreed to convert the entire outstanding balance of the bridge loan the Creditor provided to the Company on April 17, 2012, consisting of $1,000,000 of principal (the “Loan”) and $56,556 of accrued interest payable, into 1,650,869 shares of restricted common stock. In order to induce the Creditor to convert the Loan into shares of common stock, and eliminate the Company’s obligation to repay the Loan in cash, the effective conversion price was reduced to $0.64 (the price at which the Company sold shares pursuant to its self-directed registered offering) from the initial conversion price of $1.60. In addition, as an inducement to convert, the Company issued to the Creditor 825,435 Series H Warrants with an exercise price of $0.83 and three-year term, and reduced the exercise price of the Series G Warrants originally issued in conjunction with the convertible note to $0.64. The Company intends to use the proceeds of the Loan, and any funds received from the exercise of the Series G Warrants and/or Series H Warrants, for general and administrative working purposes. The shares were issued in reliance upon an exemption from registration pursuant to Section 4(2) of the Securities Act.
