NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 1 - Basis of Presentation, Organization, Recent Accounting Pronouncements and Going Concern
Basis of Presentation
The unaudited financial statements of SolarWindow Technologies, Inc. (the "Company") as of November 30, 2015, and for the three months ended November 30, 2015 and 2014, have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for interim financial reporting and include the Company's wholly-owned subsidiaries, Kinetic Energy Corporation ("KEC"), and New Energy Solar Corporation ("New Energy Solar"). Accordingly, they do not include all of the disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for complete financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended August 31, 2015, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission as part of the Company's Form 10-K. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair presentation of the interim financial information have been included. The Company did not record an income tax provision during the periods presented due to net taxable losses. The results of operations for any interim period are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations for the entire year.
Organization
SolarWindow Technologies, Inc. was incorporated in the State of Nevada on May 5, 1998, under the name "Octillion Corp." On December 2, 2008, the Company amended its Articles of Incorporation to effect a change of name to New Energy Technologies, Inc. Effective as of March 9, 2015, the Company amended its Articles of Incorporation to change its name to SolarWindow Technologies, Inc. The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries, Kinetic Energy Corporation ("KEC") and New Energy Solar Corporation.
KEC was incorporated on June 19, 2008, in the State of Nevada and holds the patents related to the Company's MotionPower™ technology. The Company's business activities related to the MotionPower™ technology are conducted through KEC.
New Energy Solar was incorporated on February 9, 2009, in the State of Florida and entered into agreements with The University of South Florida Research Foundation ("USF") to sponsor research related to the Company's SolarWindow™ technology. On February 18, 2015, the Company terminated the license agreement entered into with USF which originated on June 21, 2010.
On March 9, 2015, the Company changed its name to "SolarWindow Technologies, Inc." in order to appropriately align the corporate name and brand identity. The Company's ticker symbol changed to WNDW.
The Company has been developing two (2) sustainable electricity generating systems. These novel technologies are branded as SolarWindow™ and MotionPower™. On March 2, 2015, the Company announced its exclusive focus on SolarWindow™.
The Company's SolarWindow™ technology provides the ability to harvest light energy from the sun and artificial sources and generate electricity from a see-through, semi-transparent, coating of organic photovoltaic solar cells. The Company's SolarWindow™ transparent electricity generating coatings are the subject of patent pending technologies. Initially being developed for application on glass surfaces, SolarWindow™ coatings could potentially be used on any of the more than 85 million commercial and residential buildings in the United States alone.
The Company's SolarWindow™ product development programs involve ongoing research and development efforts, and the commitment of significant resources to support the extensive invention, design, engineering, testing, prototyping, and intellectual property initiatives carried-out by its contract engineers, scientists, and consultants. As such, the Company's activities are subject to significant risks and uncertainties, including failing to secure additional funding to operationalize the Company's technology before another company develops similar technology and products.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In February 2015, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2015-02, "Amendments to the Consolidation Analysis", which amends the consolidation requirements in ASC 810 and significantly changes the consolidation analysis required under U.S. GAAP relating to whether or not to consolidate certain legal entities. Early adoption is permitted. The Company's effective date for adoption is January 1, 2016. The Company does not expect this accounting update to have a material effect on its consolidated financial statements in future periods, although that could change.
In January 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-01, "Simplifying Income Statement Presentation by Eliminating the Concept of Extraordinary Items", which eliminates the concept from U.S. GAAP the concept of an extraordinary item. Under the ASU, an entity will no longer (1) segregate an extraordinary item from the results of ordinary operations; (2) separately present an extraordinary item on its income statement, net of tax, after income from continuing operations; or (3) disclose income taxes and earnings-per-share data applicable to an extraordinary item. Early adoption is permitted. The Company's effective date for adoption is January 1, 2016. The Company does not expect this accounting update to have a material effect on its consolidated financial statements in future periods, although that could change.
In August 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-15, Presentation of Financial Statements - Going Concern (Subtopic 205 40): Disclosure of Uncertainties about an Entity's Ability to Continue as a Going Concern, which is intended to define management's responsibility to evaluate whether there is substantial doubt about an entity's ability to continue as a going concern and to provide related footnote disclosures. Specifically, ASU 2014-15 provides a definition of the term substantial doubt and requires an assessment for a period of one year after the date that the financial statements are issued (or available to be issued). It also requires certain disclosures when substantial doubt is alleviated as a result of consideration of management's plans and requires an express statement and other disclosures when substantial doubt is not alleviated. The new standard will be effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, with early adoption permitted. Management does not expect the adoption of ASU 2014-15 to have a material impact on our financial statements and disclosures.
In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (ASU 2014-09), which supersedes most existing revenue recognition guidance under US GAAP. The core principle of ASU 2014-09 is to recognize revenues when promised goods or services are transferred to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which an entity expects to be entitled for those goods or services. ASU 2014-09 defines a five step process to achieve this core principle and, in doing so, more judgment and estimates may be required within the revenue recognition process than are required under existing U.S. GAAP. The standard is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods therein, using either of the following transition methods: (i) a full retrospective approach reflecting the application of the standard in each prior reporting period with the option to elect certain practical expedients, or (ii) a retrospective approach with the cumulative effect of initially adopting ASU 2014-09 recognized at the date of adoption (which includes additional footnote disclosures). The Company does not expect this accounting update to have a material effect on its consolidated financial statements in future periods.
The Company reviews new accounting standards as issued. Although some of these accounting standards issued or effective after the end of the Company's previous fiscal year may be applicable, the Company has not identified any standards that the Company believes merit further discussion. The Company believes that none of the new standards will have a significant impact on the financial statements.
Going Concern
The Company does not have any commercialized products and has not generated any revenue since inception. The Company has an accumulated deficit of $30,362,963 as of November 30, 2015, 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.
8 |
In its report with respect to the Company's financial statements for the year ended August 31, 2015, 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, 2015, the Company had cash of $169,057 and commitments for an additional loan of $150,000. Based upon its current and near term anticipated level of operations and expenditures, the Company believes that cash on hand should be sufficient to enable it to continue operations through January 2016.
If adequate funds are not available on reasonable terms, or at all, it would result in a material adverse effect on the Company's business, operating results, financial condition and prospects. In particular, the Company may be required to delay, reduce the scope of or terminate its research 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 - Debt
December 7, 2015, $550,000 Bridge Loan
On December 7, 2015, the Company entered into a Bridge Loan Agreement (the "December 2015 Loan Agreement") with Kalen Capital Corporation (the "Investor"), a private corporation owning in excess of 10% of the Company's issued and outstanding shares of common stock. Pursuant to the December 2015 Loan Agreement, the Company may borrow up to $550,000; of which $400,005 was advanced on October 7, 2015 (the "October 2015 Loan Advance") and $150,000 on December 22, 2015 (the "December 2015 Loan Advance") (collectively, the "December 2015 Loan"). Following the occurrence of an event of default, as further specified in the December 2015 Loan Agreement; the annual interest rate would increase to 18%. The December 2015 Loan was evidenced by a promissory note with an annual interest rate of 10%, compounded quarterly, and a maturity date of the earlier of: (a) the closing of any equity financing by the Company in excess of $3,000,000, or (b) September 1, 2016. The December 2015 Loan is convertible at any time into shares of common stock at a conversion price equal to 85% of the thirty (30) day volume weighted average price of the Company's common stock. Also, as a condition to the Investor's entry into the December 2015 Loan Agreement, the Company issued the Investor a Series M Stock Purchase Warrant to purchase up to 275,000 shares of the Company's common stock for a period of five (5) years, with an exercise price of $2.34; the Series M Warrant contains a provision allowing the Investor to exercise the Series M Warrant on a cashless basis as further set forth therein.
The Company first allocated October 2015 Loan Advance principal between the October 2015 Loan Advance and the Series M Warrants based upon their relative fair values. The estimated fair value of the Series M Warrants was calculated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model and the following assumptions: market price of common stock - $3.01 per share; estimated volatility - 79%; 5-year risk free interest rate - 1.67%; expected dividend rate - 0% and expected life - 5 years. This resulted in allocating $234,360 to the Series M Warrants and $165,640 to the October 2015 Loan Advance. 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 October 2015 Loan Advance and the total price to convert based on the effective conversion price. The calculated intrinsic value was $348,890. As this amount resulted in a total debt discount that exceeds the October 2015 Loan Advance proceeds, the amount recorded for the beneficial conversion feature was limited to principal amount of the October 2015 Loan Advance. The resulting $400,005 discount is being accreted over the 9 month term of the October 2015 Loan Advance.

March 4, 2015, $600,000 Bridge Loan
On March 4, 2015, the Company entered into a Bridge Loan Agreement (the "Bridge Loan Agreement") with 1420468 Alberta Ltd. (the "Creditor") pursuant to which the Company borrowed $600,000 at an annual interest rate of 7% (the "March 2015 Loan"), compounded quarterly; following the occurrence of an event of default, as further specified in the Bridge Loan Agreement, the annual interest rate would increase to 15%. The March 2015 Loan was evidenced by a promissory note with a maturity date of the earlier of: (a) the closing of any equity financing by the Company in excess of $600,000, or (b) September 4, 2015. As a condition to the Creditor's entry into the Bridge Loan Agreement, the Company issued the Creditor a Series L Stock Purchase Warrant to purchase up to 500,000 shares of the Company's common stock, which are exercisable from September 5, 2015 through March 4, 2020, with an exercise price of $1.20; the Series L Warrant contains a provision allowing the Creditor to exercise the Series L Warrant on a cashless basis as further set forth therein.
The fair value of the Series L Warrant was $1.198 per share and was calculated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following assumptions: market price of common stock - $1.78 per share; estimated volatility - 76%; risk free interest rate - 1.55%; expected dividend rate - 0% and expected life - 4.5 years. This resulted in allocating $299,750 to the Series L Warrant and $300,250 to the March 2015 Loan. As a result, on March 4, 2015, the Company recorded a debt discount of $299,750 which is being accreted over the term of the March 2015 Loan.
On December 7, 2015, the maturity date of the March 2015 Loan was extended to December 31, 2016. As consideration the Company issued the Creditor a Series M Stock Purchase Warrant to purchase up to 100,000 shares of the Company's common stock through December 7, 2020, at an exercise price of $2.34 per share; the Series M Warrant contains a provision allowing the Creditor to exercise the Series M Warrant on a cashless basis as further set forth therein. The Company also agreed to extend the expiration date of the Series L Warrant to December 7, 2020.
Interest expense and accretion of the debt discount related to the March 2015 Loan amounted to $10,835 and $6,516, respectively, during the three months ended November 30, 2015.
Convertible Promissory Note
On October 7, 2013 (the "Closing Date"), the Company entered into a Bridge Loan Agreement (the "2013 Loan Agreement") with the Investor. Pursuant to the 2013 Loan Agreement, the Company received proceeds of $3,000,000 and issued a 7% unsecured Convertible Promissory Note (the "2013 Note") due on October 6, 2014, with interest compounded quarterly and issued a Series I Stock Purchase Warrant (the "Series I Warrant") for the purchase up to 921,875 shares of the Company's common stock at an initial exercise price of $1.37 for a period of five (5) years. The Series I Warrant is exercisable on a "cashless basis" and was unexercised as of November 30, 2015. According to the original terms of the 2013 Loan Agreement, the Investor may have elected, in its sole discretion, to convert all or any portion of the outstanding principal amount of the 2013 Note, and any or all accrued and unpaid interest thereon into units, with each unit consisting of (a) one share of common stock; (b) one Series J Stock Purchase Warrant for the purchase of one share of common stock (the "Series J Warrant"); and (c) one Series K Stock Purchase Warrant for the purchase of one share of common stock (the "Series K Warrant").
On November 10, 2014, the Company entered into an Amended Bridge Loan Agreement (the "2015 Loan Agreement") with Investor pursuant to which the Company and Investor amended the 2013 Loan Agreement by amending the 2013 Note to extend the maturity date to December 31, 2015 (the "Amended Note"). According to the terms of the 2015 Loan Agreement, the Investor may elect, in its sole discretion, to convert all or any portion of the outstanding principal amount of the Amended Note, and any or all accrued and unpaid interest thereon into units of the Company's equity securities (collectively, the "Units"), with each Unit consisting of (a) one share of common stock; and (b) one Series L Stock Purchase Warrant for the purchase of one share of common stock. The conversion price for each Unit is the lesser of (i) $1.37; or (ii) 70% of the 20 day average closing price of the Company's common stock prior to conversion, subject to a floor of $1.00 with the exercise price of each Series L Warrant included in the Units issued upon conversion being equal to sixty percent (60%) of the 20 day average closing price of the Company's common stock prior to conversion. The Series L Warrant will be exercisable for a period of five years from the date of issuance and will be exercisable on a cashless basis.
10 |
In order to induce Investor to enter into the 2015 Loan Agreement and extend the maturity date of the 2013 Note, the Company issued a Series J Warrant to purchase 3,110,378 shares of its common stock at an exercise price of $1.12 and a Series K Warrant to purchase 3,110,378 shares of its common stock at an exercise price of $1.20. Each of the Series J Warrant and Series K Warrant is exercisable through November 9, 2019 and contains a provision allowing the Investor to exercise the warrant on a cashless basis as further set forth therein.
For accounting purposes, the modification to the 2013 Loan Agreement did not result in a gain or loss, as an extinguishment under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, due to the related party nature of the transaction. As described above, the 2015 Loan Agreement resulted in the issuance of a Series J Warrant and a Series K Warrant. Prior to the 2015 Loan Agreement, the Series J and Series K Warrants were to be issued to the Investor only upon the Investor's election to convert the 2013 Note (according to the original terms of the 2013 note). Also as a result of the 2015 Loan Agreement, the principal amount of the Amended Note and accrued interest thereon is convertible into Units. As such, the fair value of the Series L Warrant, representing the value exchanged for the modification of the conversion option associated with the 2013 Loan Agreement, was recognized as a discount to the Amended Note with a corresponding increase in additional paid-in capital. The fair value of the Series L Warrant was $1.16 per share. The fair value of the Series L Warrant was calculated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model and the following assumptions: market price of common stock - $1.28 per share; estimated volatility - 138%; risk free interest rate - 1.57%; expected dividend rate - 0% and expected life - 5 years. Based on the terms of the Amended Note, 3,142,359 warrants were issuable on November 10, 2014 with a fair value of $3,645,137 (3,142,359 Warrants x $1.16 per share). The debt discount is limited to the face value of the Amended Note. As a result, on November 10, 2014, the Company recorded a debt discount of $3,000,000 which is being accreted over the term of the Amended Note using the effective interest method.
Interest expense related to the 2013 Loan Agreement as amended amounted to $59,732 and $55,727 during the three months ended November 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively.
During the three months ended November 30, 2015 and 2014, the Company recognized $656,250 and $2,457,910, respectively, of accretion of debt discount. The 2014 expense of $2,457,910 includes $2,313,680 of accretion related to the debt discount originally recorded on the 2013 Note and $144,230 related to the Series L Warrant issuable pursuant to the 2015 Loan Agreement. The remaining debt discount related to the Series L Warrants and totaling $223,558 will be amortized during the quarter ended February 29, 2016.

NOTE 4 - Stock Options
Stock option grants pursuant to the 2006 Plan vest either immediately or over one 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 3,332,498 remain available for grant and 326,667 were issued pursuant to the exercise of vested options as of November 30, 2015.

The aggregate intrinsic value in the table above represents the total pretax intrinsic value for all "in-the-money" options (i.e. the difference between the Company's closing stock price on the last trading day of the period covered by this report and the exercise price, multiplied by the number of shares) that would have been received by the option holders had all in-the-money option holders exercised their vested options on November 30, 2015. The intrinsic value of the option changes based upon the fair market value of the Company's common stock. Since the closing stock price was $3.05 on November 30, 2015 and 1,200,834 outstanding options have an exercise price below $3.05 per share, as of November 30, 2015, there is intrinsic value to the Company's 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 months ended November 30, 2015 and 2014:

NOTE 5 - Net Loss Per Share
During the three months ended November 30, 2015 and 2014, the Company recorded a net loss. Basic net loss per share is computed by dividing the net loss by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. The Company has not included the effects of warrants, stock options and convertible debt on net loss per share because to do so would be antidilutive.
Following is the computation of basic and diluted net loss per share for the three months ended November 30, 2015 and 2014:

On December 7, 2015, the Company entered into a Bridge Loan Agreement with the Investor pursuant to which the Company may borrow up to $550,000; of which $400,005 was advanced to the Company on October 7, 2015, and the remaining $150,000 was forwarded to the Company on December 22, 2015; see "Note 2 - Debt" above for additional information.
March 2015 $600,000 Loan Amendment and Related Warrant Transactions
On December 7, 2015, the maturity date of the March 2015 Loan was extended to December 31, 2016. As consideration the Company issued the Creditor a Series M Stock Purchase Warrant to purchase up to 100,000 shares of the Company's common stock through December 7, 2020, at an exercise price of $2.34 per share; the Series M Warrant contains a provision allowing the Creditor to exercise the Series M Warrant on a cashless basis as further set forth therein.
The fair value of the Series M Warrant was $2.058 and was calculated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model and the following assumptions: exercise price - $2.34; market price of common stock - $3.01 per share; estimated volatility - 79%; risk free interest rate - 1.67%; expected dividend rate - 0% and expected life - 5 years. The Company recorded $205,800 as a debt discount related to the 100,000 Series M Warrants and will amortize through December 31, 2016.
Additionally, the expiration date of the currently outstanding Series L Warrant allowing the Creditor to purchase up to 500,000 shares of common stock was extended from March 4, 2020 to December 7, 2020. The difference in fair value of the Series L Warrant as a result of the extension of the expiration date was $33,000 and was calculated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model and the following assumptions: exercise price - $1.2; market price of common stock - $3.01 per share; estimated volatility - 79%; risk free interest rate - 1.67%; expected dividend rate - 0% and expected life - 5 years for the new warrant and 4.24 years for the original warrant. The Company recorded $33,000 as a debt discount related to the 500,000 Series L Warrant expiration date extension and will amortize through December 31, 2016.

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
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 "SolarWindow" refer to SolarWindow Technologies, Inc., a Nevada corporation, and its consolidated subsidiaries.
Overview
We are a pre-revenue company developing our proprietary SolarWindow™ technology as the world's first-of-their-kind systems able to generate electricity on glass windows and flexible plastic while remaining see-through. 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.
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 ("R&D") and product development efforts, and the commitment of significant resources to support the extensive invention, design, engineering, testing, prototyping, and intellectual property initiatives carried-out by our contract engineers, scientists, and consultants.
17 |
Ultimately, we plan to market any SolarWindow™ 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 our SolarWindow™ technology. The actual cost and time required to commercialize our SolarWindow™ technology may vary significantly depending on, among other things, the results of our R&D efforts, the cost of developing, acquiring, or licensing various enabling technologies, changes in the focus and direction of our R&D programs, competitive and technological advances, the cost of filing, prosecuting, defending and enforcing claims with respect to patents, the regulatory approval process and manufacturing, marketing and other costs associated with commercialization of these technologies. Because of this uncertainty, even if financing is available to us, we may secure insufficient funding to effectuate our business plan.
As of November 30, 2015, we had negative working capital of $3,759,115, cash of $169,057 and commitments for an additional loan of $150,000. Based upon current and near term anticipated level of operations and expenditures, we believe that cash on hand should be sufficient to enable us to continue operations through January 2016. 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.
Research and Related Agreements
We are a party to certain agreements related to the development of our SolarWindow™ technology.
Stevenson-Wydler Cooperative Research and Development Agreement with the Alliance for Sustainable Energy
In efforts to advance the commercial development of the SolarWindow™ technology, on March 18, 2011, we entered into a CRADA with Alliance for Sustainable Energy, LLC ("Alliance"), the operator of 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.
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 our 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 improving SolarWindow™ technology efficiency and transparency; |
|
|
|
| · | optimizing electrical power (current and voltage) output; |
|
|
|
| · | optimizing the application of the active layer coatings which make it possible for SolarWindow™ coatings to generate electricity on glass surfaces; |
|
|
|
| · | developing improved electricity-generating coatings by enhancing performance, processing, reliability, and durability; |
|
|
|
| · | optimizing SolarWindow™ coating performance on flexible substrates; and |
|
|
|
| · | developing high speed and large area roll-to-roll (R2R) and sheet-to-sheet (S2S) coating methods required for commercial-scale building integrated photovoltaic ("BIPV") products and windows. |

Selling, General and Administrative
Selling, general and administrative 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 November 30, 2015, we experienced a decrease in professional fees and investor communications related fees offset by increases in travel and general costs.
Research and Development
Research and development ("R&D") costs represent costs incurred to develop our SolarWindow™ technology and are incurred pursuant to our research agreements and agreements with other third party providers and certain internal R&D cost allocations. Payments under these agreements include salaries and benefits for R&D personnel, allocated overhead, contract services and other costs. R&D costs are expensed when incurred, except for non-refundable advance payments for future research and development activities which are capitalized and recognized as expense as the related services are performed. R&D costs decreased during the three months ended November 30, 2015 as a result of slightly more R&D related activity in the prior year.
Stock Compensation
Expense associated with equity based transactions is calculated and expensed in our financial statements as required pursuant to various accounting rules and is non-cash in nature. Stock compensation represents the expense associated with the amortization of our stock options, issuance of common stock and issuance of warrants to purchase our common stock. Stock compensation expense decreased during the three months ended November 30, 2015 compared to the same period last year due to the lack of stock option grants and stock issuances in the current period in addition to the decay of option related compensation expense associated with grants made in prior periods.
Other Income (Expense)

"Interest expense" relates to the stated interest of our convertible promissory notes and bridge note. "Accretion of debt discount" represents the accretion of the discount applied to our notes as a result of the issuance of detachable warrants and the beneficial conversion feature contained in our notes. The amounts under each column relate to the 2013 Note and amendment thereto and to a lesser extent to the Series L Warrants issued in connection with the $600,000 bridge loan financing on March 4, 2015. See "NOTE 2 - Debt" to our Consolidated Financial Statements contained in this Form 10-Q.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
We have an accumulated deficit of $30,362,963 through November 30, 2015. Included in the deficit are non-cash expenses totaling $11,627,972 relating to the issuance of stock for services, compensatory stock options, warrants granted for value and accretion of debt discount. Due to the "start-up" nature of our business, we expect to incur losses as we continue development of our technologies.
These conditions raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. Management recognizes that in order for us to meet our capital requirements, and continue to operate, additional financing will be necessary. We expect to raise additional funds through private or public equity investment in order to maintain and/or expand the range and scope of our business operations; however, there is no assurance that such additional funds will be available for us on acceptable terms, if at all. If we are unable to raise additional capital when needed or generate positive cash flow, it is unlikely that we will be able to continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
Our principal source of liquidity is cash in the bank. At November 30, 2015, we had a cash and cash equivalent balance of $169,057 and a commitment to borrow up to $150,000 which was funded on December 22, 2015. We have financed our operations primarily from the sale of equity and debt securities.
Net cash used in operating activities was $457,113 for the three months ended November 30, 2015, compared to net cash used in operating activities of $518,305 for the three months ended November 30, 2014. The decrease in cash used in operating activities of $61,192 substantially reflects decreases in amounts paid for general, administrative and research and development expenses.
Net cash used in investing activities was $2,300 for the three months ended November 30, 2015, compared to net cash used in investing activities of $14,208 for the three months ended November 30, 2014. Cash used in investing activities substantially reflects amounts paid for office equipment.
Net cash provided by financing activities was $400,005 for the three months ended November 30, 2015, compared to $3,242 for the three months ended November 30, 2014. Cash provided by financing activities during the three months ended November 30, 2015 was from the receipt of a bridge loan whereas cash provided by financing activities during the three months ended November 30, 2014 was from the exercise of Series H Stock Purchase Warrants.
Other Contractual Obligations
In addition to our contractual obligations under the research agreements, as of November 30, 2015, we have lease payments of $1,150 each month under our month-to-month corporate and other office operating leases.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We have no off-balance sheet arrangements.
