SOLARWINDOW TECHNOLOGIES, INC.

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, 2017, and for the three months ended November 30, 2017 and 2016, have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) 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, 2017, 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. to align the company name with its brand identity. The Company’s ticker symbol changed to WNDW.

 

The Company has been developing two 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 transparent coating of organic photovoltaic solar cells, applied to glass and plastics, thereby creating a “photovoltaic” effect. Photovoltaics are best known as a method for generating electric power by using solar cells to convert energy from the sun into a flow of electrons. Typically, conventional PV power is generated by making use of solar modules composed of a number of cells containing PV and electricity-conducting materials. These materials are usually opaque (i.e., not see-through) and only effectively generate electricity with sun light. The Company’s researchers have replaced these materials with compounds that allow our SolarWindow™ technology to remain see-through or “transparent,” while generating electricity when exposed to either sun or artificial light.

 

The Company’s SolarWindow™ product development programs involve ongoing 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 its contract engineers, scientists, and consultants. The Company’s activities are subject to significant risks and uncertainties, including, but not limited to, the Company’s failure to secure, on a timely basis, adequate additional funding to commercialize its SolarWindow™ technology or the development of a similar technology and products, by existing or potential future competitors, who may gain earlier market entry or greater market acceptance than the Company’s technology and products.

 

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

In March 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2016-09, “Compensation-Stock Compensation: Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting (Topic 718)”, which is intended to simplify several aspects of the accounting for share-based payment award transactions. The guidance is effective for our fiscal year beginning in the current quarter. The adoption of ASU 2016-09 did not have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements.

Table of Contents

 

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842)”, which supersedes ASC Topic 840, Leases, and creates a new topic, ASC 842, Leases. The new guidance requires the recognition of lease assets and liabilities for operating leases with terms of more than 12 months. Presentation of leases within the consolidated statements of operations and consolidated statements of cash flows will be generally consistent with the current lease accounting guidance. The ASU is effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018, with early adoption permitted. The Company does not expect this accounting update to have a material effect on its consolidated financial statements.

 

In November 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-17, “Income Taxes (Topic 740): Balance Sheet Classification of Deferred Taxes” (“ASU 2015-17”). The standard requires that deferred tax assets and liabilities be classified as noncurrent on the balance sheet rather than being separated into current and noncurrent. ASU 2015-17 is effective for our fiscal year beginning in the current quarter. The adoption of ASU 2015-17 did not have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements.

 

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606)”, to clarify the principles used to recognize revenue for all entities. In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-08 to further clarify the implementation guidance on principal versus agent considerations. The guidance is effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2017. The Company does not expect this accounting update to have a material effect on its consolidated financial statements.

 

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, has not generated any revenue since inception and has sustained recurring losses and negative cash flows from operations since inception. Due to the “start-up” nature of our business, we expect to incur losses as we continue development of our products and technologies. 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.

 

As of the date of filing of the Company’s most recent Form 10-K on November 22, 2017, based on management’s assessment, the Company had sufficient cash to meet its funding requirements over the next twelve months. Currently, based upon its near term anticipated level of operations and expenditures, management believes that cash on hand should be sufficient to enable the Company to continue operations through November 2018 or approximately ten months from the date of this quarterly report. 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.

 

The Company has experienced and continues to experience negative cash flows from operations, as well as an ongoing requirement for substantial additional capital investment. The Company expects that it will need to raise substantial additional capital to accomplish its business plan over the next several years. The Company expects to seek additional funding through private equity or convertible debt. 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 and development programs; sell rights to its SolarWindow™ technology and/or MotionPower™ technology, or other technologies or products based upon these technologies; or license the rights to these technologies or products on terms that are less favorable to the Company than might otherwise be available.

March 2015 Loan as Amended

 

On March 4, 2015, the Company entered into a Bridge Loan Agreement with 1420468 Alberta Ltd. (which has since been merged with and into Kalen Capital Corporation (the “Investor”)). Pursuant the Bridge Loan Agreement, the Company borrowed $600,000 at an annual interest rate of 7% (the “March 2015 Loan”), compounded quarterly, with a default rate of 15%.

 

On November 3, 2017, the Company entered into the Third Amendment related to the March 2015 Loan pursuant to which the Company and the Investor amended the March 2015 loan to extend the maturity date to December 31, 2019. As consideration for the note extension, the interest rate was increased to 10.5% and all outstanding warrants held by the Investor had their maturity date extended to December 31, 2022.

 

During the three months ended November 30, 2017 and 2016, the Company recognized $14,436 and $11,617, respectively, of interest expense. During the three months ended November 30, 2017 and 2016, the Company recognized debt discount accretion of $0 and $55,720, respectively.

 

2013 Note as Amended

 

On October 7, 2013, the Company sold to the Investor an unsecured Convertible Promissory Note (the “2013 Note”) in the amount of $3,000,000 with 7% interest compounded quarterly. According to the terms of the amended 2013 Note, the Investor may elect to convert principal and accrued interest into units of the Company’s equity securities, with each Unit consisting of (a) one share of common stock; and (b) one 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 Warrant being equal to 60% of the 20 day average closing price of the Company’s common stock prior to conversion. If issued, the Warrant included in the Units will be exercisable for a period of five years. As of November 30, 2017, if the investor elected to convert the entirety of amounts owing under the 2013 Note, the Company would be obligated to issue a warrant for the purchase of 2,928,826 shares of common stock.

NOTE 3 – Private Placements

 

September 2017 Private Placement

 

On September 11, 2017, the Company initiated and on September 29, 2017, completed a self-directed offering of 821,600 units at a price of $3.11 per unit for $2,555,176 in aggregate proceeds (the “September 2017 Private Placement”). The unit price was based on a 15% discount to the average of the 30 day closing price (last day being Friday September 8, 2017) of the Company’s common stock as reported on the OTCQB. Each unit consisted of one share of common stock and one Series S Stock Purchase Warrant to purchase one (1) share of common stock at an exercise price of $3.42 per share through September 29, 2022. The warrants may be exercised on a cashless basis. All the units were purchased by unrelated parties.

 

The relative fair value of the common stock was estimated to be $1,540,000. The relative fair value of the Series S Warrants was estimated to be $1,015,000 as determined based on the relative fair value allocation of the proceeds received. The Series S Warrants were valued using the Black-Scholes option pricing model using the following variables: market price of common stock - $3.95 per share; estimated volatility – 77.96%; 5-year risk free interest rate – 1.71%; expected dividend rate - 0% and expected life - 5 years.

NOTE 5 - 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 1,700,832 remain available for grant, 1,185,834 have been exercised in total and 562,763 net shares issued pursuant to the exercise of vested options from inception of the 2006 Plan through November 30, 2017. 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 2006 Plan was approved by stockholders on February 7, 2011 and expires according to its terms on February 7, 2021.

 

The Company employs the following key weighted-average assumptions in determining the fair value of stock options, using the Black-Scholes option pricing model and the simplified method to estimate the expected term of “plain vanilla” options:

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, 2017. 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 $4.75 on November 30, 2017 and 1,902,500 outstanding options have an exercise price below $4.75 per share, as of November 30, 2017, there is intrinsic value to the Company’s outstanding, in-the-money stock options, including 32,500 options that are exercisable and in-the-money.

The 1,500,000 stock options granted to consultants had a grant date fair value of $1.84 per option. As of November 30, 2017, the Company determined the achievement of the performance conditions was not probable. Compensation expense will be recorded for the options with performance conditions when and if the performance conditions become probable of being achieved.

NOTE 6 - Net Loss Per Share

 

During the three months ended November 30, 2017 and 2016, 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, 2017 and 2016:

Overview

 

We are a pre-revenue company developing proprietary SolarWindow™ transparent electricity generating coatings. SolarWindow™ organic photovoltaic (“OPV”) coatings are used to produce a device comprised of ultra-thin layers that can be applied to glass, flexible glass and plastic surfaces. Our SolarWindow™ transparent electricity-generating coatings and technology is capable of harvesting light energy from the sun and artificial sources and could potentially be used on any of the more than 85 million commercial and residential buildings in the United States alone. Our SolarWindow™ technology is the subject of sixty (60) pending U.S. and international patent filings.

 

The development of our SolarWindow™ technology continues to advance under the Stevenson-Wydler Cooperative Research and Development Agreement (the “NREL CRADA”) with the Alliance for Sustainable Energy, LLC (the “Alliance for Sustainable Energy”), which is the operator of The National Renewable Energy Laboratory (“NREL”).

On August 2, 2017, we entered into a Process Integration and Production Agreement with TriView Glass Industries, LLC (“Triview”). Triview is a glass fabricator operating a manufacturing facility in City of Industry, California. The purpose and primary goals of agreement are to:

 

 

1. establish commercial scale manufacturing methodologies and processes to fabricate products based on WNDW technologies and

 

 

 

 

2. integrate SolarWindow™ process technologies into the Triview manufacturing process, to fabricate specific transparent electricity-generating SolarWindow™ Products.

 

We have achieved numerous important milestones and overcome major technical challenges in the development of our SolarWindow™ technology, including the ability to generate electricity on glass while remaining transparent and the application of our coatings on to glass at room temperature and pressure.

 

A brief list of some of our more important milestones includes:

 

 

·

our SolarWindow™ transparent electricity-generating glass modules were successfully processed through the rigorous autoclave system for window glass lamination at a commercial window fabricator;

 

 

 

 

·

successfully completed important freeze/thaw performance testing necessary for the commercialization of our transparent electricity-generating coatings; modules were subjected to more than 200 freeze/thaw cycles, which yielded favorable performance results of the edge sealing processes and minimal impact on the device electrical performance; 

 

 

 

·

expanded product development and successfully applied our electricity-generating coatings onto flexible glass – as thin as a business card (only 0.1-millimeter-thick) – that is flexible enough to be bent without breaking or cracking;

 

 

 

·

entered into the NREL CRADA which is still in effect;

 

 

 

·

filed sixty (60) U.S. and international patent applications for our electricity-generating coating and SolarWindow™ technology development efforts;

 

 

 

·

expanded the use of our SolarWindow™ coatings to include two new product lines for commercial and military aircraft, and the safety and security of military pilots;

 

 

 

·

generated electricity on flexible plastic using novel see-through SolarWindow™ coatings;

 

 

 

·

developed new SolarWindow™ coatings with increased transparency and improved color;

 

 

 

·

produced the largest OPV device ever fabricated at NREL in the institute’s history; and

 

 

 

·

successfully collected and transported electricity using a virtually ‘invisible’ conductive wiring system developed for SolarWindow™

 

We are currently developing “SolarWindow™ Products” derived from our SolarWindow™ technology designed to address several potential markets, including:

 

 

· SolarWindow™ – Commercial – A flat glass product for installation in new commercial towers under construction and replacement windows;

 

 

 

 

· SolarWindow™ – Structural Glass – Structural glass walls and curtains for tall structures;

 

 

 

 

· SolarWindow™ – Architectural Glass – Textured and decorative interior glass walls, room dividers, etc.;

 

 
17
 
Table of Contents

 

 

· SolarWindow™ – Residential – A window glass for installation in new residential homes under construction and replacement windows;

 

 

 

 

· SolarWindow™ – Flex – Flexible glass and plastic films which may be applied directly to different surfaces; and

 

 

 

 

· SolarWindow™ Retrofit Veneer - Transparent, tinted, and flexible veneers that installers can apply directly on to existing, previously installed, window glass.

 

Our focus is on the development and deployment of SolarWindow™ Commercial, Structural, and Architectural glass products. Our product development efforts have produced early working prototypes for these applications, which we are sharing with potential commercialization partners. Commercialization of the SolarWindow™ technology will require significant further capital, product development and testing, and validation. This additional work should enable us to ascertain whether the SolarWindowTM technology can form the basis for a commercially viable technology or product and which products will be first to market.

 

SolarWindow™ Retrofit Veneer products are being developed as transparent, tinted, flexible and rigid veneers that can be applied directly on to existing windows. This expanded product line broadens our market reach beyond new and replacement installations, to include windows currently installed on the estimated five million commercial buildings constructed in the U.S. alone. This retrofit veneer product will be developed in parallel to the other SolarWindow™ Products currently undergoing further development.

 

In May 2017, our SolarWindow™ transparent electricity-generating coatings on glass were successfully processed through the rigorous autoclave system for window glass lamination at a commercial window fabricator. Layered with SolarWindow™ electricity-generating liquid coatings, glass modules were subjected to the extremely high heat and pressure of autoclave equipment located at the fabricator’s facility. Despite the SolarWindow™ modules being subjected to the harsh pressure and temperature conditions, subsequent performance testing confirmed that the modules continued to produce power.

 

We also developed the capability to integrate transparent SolarWindow™ coatings on to flexible glass. This presents new product opportunities for curved and non-flat surfaces in automotive, aircraft, and military applications. By applying SolarWindow™ coatings on to flexible glass and plastic and maintain the durability, scratch-resistance, and ease of maintenance of rigid glass.

 

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 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.

 

We plan to market any SolarWindow™ Products we commercialize through co-marketing and co-promotion, licensing, and distribution arrangements with third party collaborators, to advance the technical development and subsequent commercialization of our SolarWindow™ products. We are actively seeking technology and product licensing, joint venture arrangements, and manufacturing process integration relationships with commercial partners and industry; and organizations which have established technical competencies, market reach, and mature distribution networks in the solar PV, building-integrated PV, and alternative and renewable energy market industries. We believe that this approach could provide immediate access to existing distribution channels which can increase market penetration and commercial acceptance of our products, and enable 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 or fabricate SolarWindow™ products. The actual cost and time required to commercialize our SolarWindow™ technology may vary significantly depending on, among other things, the results of our product development efforts; the cost of developing, acquiring, or licensing various enabling technologies; changes in the focus and direction of our business or product development plans; competitive and technological advances; the cost of patent filing, prosecuting, defending and enforcing claims; demonstrating compliance with regulations and standards; and manufacturing, marketing and other costs that may be associated with product fabrication. Because of this uncertainty, even if financing is available to us, we may secure insufficient funding to effectuate our business and/or product development plans.

Table of Contents

 

As of November 30, 2017, we had working capital of $2,632,567 and cash of $2,802,044. 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 November 2018.

 

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 our business operations. We will seek access to private or public equity markets 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.

Stock Compensation

 

The Company grants stock options to its Directors, employees and consultants and issues stock to its Directors. Stock compensation represents the expense associated with the amortization of our stock options and issuance of common stock 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 expense increased during the three months ended November 30, 2017 compared to the three months ended November 30, 2016 due to the grant of 255,000 options and issuance of 210,000 shares of common stock to our directors. In the prior year, the Company issued 120,000 shares to the Board valued at $393,600 compared to the current quarter Board share issuance of 210,000 shares valued at $1,022,700. Additionally, in the prior year, the Company issued 35,000 stock purchase options with vesting related expense of $47,000 compared to the grant of 255,000 stock purchase options in the current quarter with vesting related expense of $493,000.

“Interest expense” relates to the stated interest of our outstanding debt. “Accretion of debt discount” represents the accretion of the discount applied to our outstanding debt as a result of the issuance and modification of detachable warrants and the beneficial conversion feature contained in our notes.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

We have a retained deficit of $41,728,905 through November 30, 2017. Included in the deficit are non-cash expenses totaling $16,415,735 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 and products.

 

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 a timely basis or 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. On November 30, 2017, we had a cash and cash equivalent balance of $2,802,044. We have financed our operations primarily from the sale of equity and debt securities. We currently do not have any agreements with any third party regarding a potential financing.

 

Net cash used in operating activities was $671,985 during the three months ended November 30, 2017, compared to net cash used in operating activities of $727,160 during the three months ended November 30, 2016. Cash used in operating activities decreased during the three months ended November 30, 2017 due to less cash used for investor communications and professional fees.

 

Net cash used in investing activities was $0 during the three months ended November 30, 2017 and 2016.

 

Net cash provided by financing activities was $2,803,176 during the three months ended November 30, 2017, compared to cash used of $18,146 during the three months ended November 30, 2016. Cash provided by financing activities during the three months ended November 30, 2017 was from exercise of 80,000 Series O Warrants for proceeds of $248,000 and the September 29, 2017 private placement of 821,600 units of our securities resulting in proceeds of $2,555,176. Cash used by financing activities during the three months ended November 30, 2016 was from the re-payment of the bridge loan.
