NOTE 1 – Organization

Organization

SolarWindow Technologies, Inc. was incorporated in the State of Nevada on May 5, 1998 (“SWT” and together with its controlled subsidiary companies, collectively, the “Company”). SolarWindow® technology harvests light energy from the sun and from artificial light sources using a transparent and ultra-lightweight coating of organic photovoltaic (“OPV”) solar cells applied to glass and plastics, thereby generating electricity. The Company’s ticker symbol is WNDW.

Liquidity and Management’s Plan

The Company has not generated any revenue since inception and has sustained recurring losses and negative cash flows from operations since inception. We expect to incur losses as we continue to develop and further refine and promote our technologies and potential product applications. As of February 28, 2023, the Company had $7,065,611 of cash, cash equivalents, and short-term investments on hand, and working capital of $7,102,928. The Company believes that it currently has sufficient cash to meet its funding requirements over the next twelve months following the issuance of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. However, 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 may need to raise additional capital to accomplish its business plan. If additional funding is required, the Company expects to seek to obtain that funding through financial or strategic investors. There can be no assurance as to the availability or terms upon which such financing and capital might be available.

NOTE 2 – Interim Statement Presentation

Basis of Presentation and Use of Estimates

The accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements of SolarWindow Technologies, Inc. and its controlled subsidiary companies (collectively, the “Company”) as of February 28, 2023, and for the three and six months ended February 28, 2023 and 2022 have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) for quarterly reports on Form 10-Q and do not include all of the information and note disclosures required by U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”) for complete financial statements. These Consolidated Financial Statements should therefore be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes thereto for the fiscal year ended August 31, 2022 included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on August 30, 2023.

The accompanying unaudited interim Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP, which requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect amounts reported in the Consolidated Financial Statements and accompanying disclosures. Actual results may differ from those estimates. The accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the same basis as the audited financial statements and include all adjustments (including normal recurring adjustments) that are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair presentation of the Company’s consolidated financial position as of February 28, 2023, results of operations, stockholders’ equity and cash flows for the three and six months ended February 28, 2023 and 2022. 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.

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the accounting period. The Company considers its accounting policies relating to stock-based compensation to be the most significant accounting policy that involves management estimates and judgments. The Company has made accounting estimates based on the facts and circumstances available as of the reporting date. Actual amounts could differ from these estimates, and such differences could be material.

These consolidated financial statements presented are those of SolarWindow Technologies, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiaries, SolarWindow Asia (USA) Corp., and SolarWindow Asia Co. Ltd. (the “Korean Subsidiary”). All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated.

As more fully described in Note 3, on January 13, 2023, the Board determined that it is in the best interests of the Company to discontinue operations in South Korea and to dissolve the Korean Subsidiary. In accordance with applicable accounting guidance, the results of the Korean Subsidiary are presented as discontinued operations in the Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Loss and, as such, have been excluded from continuing operations. Further, the Company reclassified the assets and liabilities of the Korean Subsidiary as assets and liabilities of discontinued operations in the Consolidated Balance Sheet as of August 31, 2022. The Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows are presented on a consolidated basis for both continuing operations and discontinued operations.

Information regarding the Company’s significant accounting policies is contained in Note 2, “Summary of significant accounting policies,” to the consolidated financial statements in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended August 31, 2022. Presented below and in the following notes is supplemental information that should be read in conjunction with “Notes to Financial Statements” in the Annual Report.

Fiscal quarter

The Company’s quarterly periods end on November 30, February 28, May 31, and August 31. The Company’s second quarter in fiscal 2023 and 2022 ended on February 28, 2023 and 2022, respectively.

Cash and Highly Liquid Investments

Cash includes cash on hand and highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less from the date of purchase. The Company had $7,065,611 of cash and short-term deposits as of February 28, 2023, including $118,296 held in the US and covered by FDIC insurance, and $6,946,280 held in Canadian bank accounts with $6,872,799 in excess of Canadian Deposit Insurance Corporation insured limits.

Short-term investments

The Company determines the balance sheet classification of its investments at the time of purchase and evaluates the classification at each balance sheet date. Money market funds, certificates of deposit, and time deposits with maturities of greater than three months but no more than twelve months are carried at cost, which approximates fair value and are recorded in the consolidated balance sheets in short-term investments. As of February 28, 2023, short-term investments consists of a 12-month $4,000,000 fixed-term deposit earning interest of 5.3%, a 12-month $1,500,000 fixed term deposit earning interest of 4.25%, and a 6-month $500,000 fixed-term deposit earning interest of 4.85% purchased in February 2023.

Accounting Pronouncements

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.

Recent accounting pronouncements not yet adopted

None.

Recently adopted accounting pronouncements

NOTE 3 – Discontinued Operations

On January 13, 2023, the Board determined that it is in the best interests of the Company to discontinue operations in South Korea and to dissolve the Korean Subsidiary. The Company is working to dispose the Korean Subsidiary other than by sale in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 360-10-45-15, Long-Lived Assets to Be Disposed of Other Than by Sale

In accordance with ASC 205-20, Discontinued Operations, the results of the Korean Subsidiary are presented as discontinued operations in the Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Loss, and, as such, have been excluded from continuing operations. Further, the Company reclassified the assets and liabilities of the Korean Subsidiary as assets and liabilities of discontinued operations in the Consolidated Balance Sheet as of August 31, 2022. The Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows are presented on a consolidated basis for both continuing operations and discontinued operations.

The following table summarizes the significant items included in income from discontinued operations, net of tax in the Consolidated Statement of Operations and Comprehensive Loss for the three and six months ended February 28, 2023 and 2022:

The following table summarizes the carrying value of the significant classes of assets and liabilities classified as discontinued operations as of August 31, 2022 and February 28, 2023:

The cash flows related to discontinued operations have not been segregated and are included in the consolidated statements of cash flows for all periods presented. Korean Subsidiary depreciation expense for the six months ended February 28, 2023 and 2022, and included in the consolidated statement of cash flow was $0 and $7,532, respectively. Capital expenditures in the six months ended February 28, 2023 and 2022 were $0 and $581,648, respectively.

NOTE 4 - Net Income (Loss) Per Share

The computation of basic earnings per share (“EPS”) is based on the weighted average number of shares that were outstanding during the period, including shares of common stock that are issuable at the end of the reporting period. The computation of diluted EPS is based on the number of basic weighted-average shares outstanding plus the number of common shares that would be issued assuming the exercise of all potentially dilutive common shares outstanding using the treasury stock method. The computation of diluted net income per share does not assume conversion, exercise or contingent issuance of securities that would have an antidilutive effect on earnings per share. Therefore, when calculating EPS if the Company experienced a loss, there is no inclusion of dilutive securities as their inclusion in the EPS calculation is antidilutive. Furthermore, options and warrants will have a dilutive effect under the treasury stock method only when the average market price of the common stock during the period exceeds the exercise price of the options or warrants (they are in the money).

The shares listed below were not included in the computation of diluted losses per share because to do so would be antidilutive for the periods presented:

NOTE 5 – Property and Equipment

Property and equipment consists of the following:

During the three months ended February 28, 2023 and 2022, the Company recognized straight-line depreciation expense of $3,594 and $7,167, respectively. During the six months ended February 28, 2023 and 2022, the Company recognized straight-line depreciation expense of $7,521 and $15,809, respectively.

During the year ended August 31, 2019, the Company made deposits for in-process equipment totaling $1,292,655 towards the purchase of manufacturing equipment. The Company is currently evaluating configuration options in order to optimize the equipment for manufacturing of the Company’s initial product. Completion of the equipment may require additional payments of up to approximately $510,000.

NOTE 6 – Common Stock and Warrants

Common Stock

At February 28, 2023, the Company had 300,000,000 authorized shares of common stock with a par value of $0.001 per share, and 53,198,399 shares of common stock outstanding.

Warrants

Each of the Company’s warrants outstanding entitles the holder to purchase one share of the Company’s common stock for each warrant share held. Other than the Series P Warrants, all of the following warrants may be exercised on a cashless basis. A summary of the Company’s warrants outstanding and exercisable as of February 28, 2023 and August 31, 2022 is as follows:

During the six months ended February 28, 2023, the Series M, N, P R, S-A and S Warrants expired unexercised.

NOTE 7 - Stock Options

The Company measures share-based compensation cost on the grant date, based on the fair value of the award, and recognizes the expense on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period for awards expected to vest. The Company estimated the grant date fair value of stock options using a Black-Scholes valuation model using the following weighted-average assumptions:

A summary of the Company’s stock option activity for the six months ended February 28, 2023 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 vested options on February 28, 2023. 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 $1.48 on February 28, 2023 and no outstanding options have an exercise price below $1.48 per share, as of February 28, 2023, there is no intrinsic value in the Company’s outstanding stock options and vested options.

Three and Six Months Ended February 28, 2022

Grants - On October 27, 2021, the Company’s Board granted 140,000 options to its officers and directors, with an exercise price of $6.21, exercisable on a cashless basis any time prior to the Company’s listing of any of its securities for trading on a national stock exchange, ten-year term and vesting as to 50% of the options on the six-month anniversary of the date of grant and as to the remaining 50% of the options on the twelve-month anniversary from the date of grant.

Forfeitures and cancellations - As a result of his resignation from the Board on November 10, 2021, Mr. Gary Parmar forfeited 58,600 unvested stock options, including 30,000 options granted on October 27, 2021.

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 Statements of Operations for the three and six months ended February 28, 2023 and 2022:

As of February 28, 2023, the Company had $118,400 of unrecognized compensation cost related to unvested stock options which is expected to be recognized over a period of 1.5 years.

The following table summarizes information about stock options outstanding and exercisable at February 28, 2023:

Overview

We are a developer of transparent electricity-generating coatings, and methods for their application to various materials (collectively, “LiquidElectricity® Coatings”). When applied in ultra-thin layers to rigid glass, and flexible glass and plastic surfaces our LiquidElectricity® Coatings transform otherwise ordinary surfaces into photovoltaic devices capable of generating electricity from natural sun, artificial light, and low, shaded, or reflected light conditions while maintaining transparency.

We have overcome major technical challenges and achieved many important milestones resulting in an expansion of the potential applications of LiquidElectricity® Coatings which span multiple industries, including architectural, automotive, agrivoltaic, aerospace, commercial transportation and marine. Our LiquidElectricity® Coatings are under development with support from commercial contract firms and at the U.S. Department of Energy’s National Renewable Energy Laboratory, through Cooperative Research and Development Agreements.

Research and Related Agreements

We are a party to certain agreements related to the development of our technology.

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

On March 18, 2011, we entered into the NREL CRADA with Alliance for Sustainable Energy, the operator of the NREL under its U.S. Department of Energy contract to advance the commercial development of our technology. Under terms of the NREL CRADA, NREL researchers 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, established by the Company. Under the terms of the NREL CRADA, we agreed to reimburse Alliance for Sustainable Energy 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 March 6, 2013, we entered into Phase II of our NREL CRADA. Under the terms of the agreement, researchers will additionally work towards:

On December 28, 2015, we executed another modification to the NREL CRADA (the “Modification”). Under the Modification, (i) the date of completion was extended to December 2017; and (ii) the Company and the NREL will work jointly towards achieving specific product development goals and objectives for the purpose of preparing to commercialize our OPV-based transparent electricity-generating coatings for various applications, including BIPV, glass and flexible plastics.

Over the course of our collaborative research and development efforts with the NREL under the CRADA, both parties have agreed to modifications to extend the date of completion. The Company and NREL have entered into eleven such No Cost Time Extensions (“NCTE”). Under the terms of each NCTE, all terms and conditions of the NREL CRADA remain in full force and effect without change. The current NCTE was executed on December 6, 2021, and extends the date of completion to December 31, 2024. As of February 28, 2023, the Company had a capitalized asset balance of $52,396 related to deferred research and development costs for advances to Alliance for Sustainable Energy for work to be performed under the NREL CRADA.

Results of Operations

Our quarterly periods end on November 30, February 28, May 31, and August 31. Our operating results for the fiscal quarter ended February 28, 2023 may not be indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year. Our quarterly results of operations have varied in the past and are likely to do so again in the future. As such, we believe that period-to-period comparisons of our results of operations should not be relied upon as an indication of our future performance.

The following table presents the components of our consolidated results of operations for the periods indicated:

Comparison of the three and six months ended February 28, 2023 to the three and six months ended February 28, 2022

Selling, general and administrative

Selling, general and administrative (“SG&A”) costs include all expenditures incurred other than research and development related costs, including costs related to personnel, professional fees, travel and entertainment, public company costs, insurance and other office related costs. During the three months ended February 28, 2023, compared to the three months ended February 28, 2022, SG&A costs decreased due to lower personnel costs ($261,000), professional fees ($11,000), offset by net increases in other administrative costs ($17,000). During the six months ended February 28, 2023, compared to the six months ended February 28, 2022, SG&A costs decreased due to lower personnel costs ($450,000), professional fees ($91,000), offset by net increases in other administrative costs ($19,000).

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. During the three months ended February 28, 2023, compared to the three months ended February 28, 2022, R&D costs increased as a result of a decrease in personnel ($13,000), offset by net increases in the CRADA and other costs ($16,000). During the six months ended February 28, 2023, compared to the six months ended February 28, 2022, R&D costs decreased primarily as a result of a decrease in personnel ($100,000), offset by net increases in the CRADA and other costs ($24,000).

Stock-based compensation

The Company grants stock options to its directors, employees and consultants. Stock compensation represents the expense associated with the amortization of our stock options. 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 based compensation expense decreased primarily due to current year expense excluding compensation expense related to the 2,500,000 stock purchase options granted in the fourth quarter of fiscal year ended August 31, 2020, to Mr. John Rhee, former President, CEO and Chairman.

Net loss from continuing operations

Consolidated net loss from continuing operations decreased $686,481 to $490,307 for the three months ended February 28, 2023 as compared to a net loss of $1,176,788 in the same period of the prior year. Consolidated net loss from continuing operations decreased $1,243,586 to $1,049,344 for the six months ended February 28, 2023 as compared to a net loss of $2,292,930 in the same period of the prior year. The decrease for the three and six months ended February 28, 2023 compared to 2022 is primarily due to lower costs related to stock compensation, personnel, and professional fees.

Net loss from discontinued operations

Net loss from discontinued operations of $37,390 in the three months ended February 28, 2023 is comprised of costs related to legal fees ($28,293) and administrative fees ($9,097).

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Our primary cash needs are for personnel, professional and R&D related fees and other administrative costs. Our principal sources of liquidity are cash and short-term investments. As of February 28, 2023, the Company had cash, cash equivalents, and short-term investments of $7,065,611. We have financed our operations primarily from the sale of equity and debt securities.

The following table presents a summary of our cash flows for the periods indicated:

Operating Activities - Operating activities consist of net loss adjusted for certain non-cash items, including depreciation, stock-based compensation expense, realized gains or losses on disposal of property and equipment, impairments and the effect of changes in working capital. The amount of cash used during the six months ended February 28, 2023 compared to cash used during the six months ended February 28, 2022 decreased $1,149,530 due to an approximate decrease in cash layouts related to the Korea office ($299,000), US based personnel ($550,000), the CRADA ($90,000), and other working capital items ($210,000).

Investing Activities - We have used cash primarily for liquid short-term investments, purchases of furniture, office equipment, leasehold improvements, and computers. During February 2023, we purchased $5,500,000 of twelve-month term deposits and $500,000 of a six-month term deposit.

Critical Accounting Policies and Significant Judgments’ and Use of Estimates

Management’s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations is based upon our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. The preparation of these consolidated financial statements required the use of estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of our assets, liabilities, and expenses. Management bases estimates on historical experience and other assumptions it believes to be reasonable under the circumstances and evaluates these estimates on an on-going basis. Actual results may differ from these estimates. There have been no significant changes to the critical accounting policies and estimates included in our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the three and six months ended February 28, 2023.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

Market risk represents the risk of loss that may impact our financial position due to adverse changes in financial market prices and rates. Our market risk exposure is primarily the result of fluctuations in interest rates and foreign currency exchange rates. We do not hold or issue financial instruments for trading purposes.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

We maintain a system of disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Exchange Act, which are designed to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. In designing and evaluating our disclosure controls and procedures, our management recognized that any system of controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, as ours is designed to do, and management necessarily was required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures. In addition, the design of any system of controls is also based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions. Over time, controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or the degree of compliance with policies or procedures may deteriorate. Because of the inherent limitations in a cost-effective control system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected.

Under supervision and with the participation of management, we carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures for the Company and its subsidiaries as of February 28, 2023. Based on that evaluation, our Acting Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures at the subsidiary level were not effective at a reasonable assurance level as of February 28, 2023, as discussed below.

Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting

Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act). Our internal control over financial reporting is a process designed under the supervision of our Acting Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of our financial statements for external reporting purposes in accordance with US GAAP. Because of inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

As of February 28, 2023, our Acting Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting using the criteria set forth in Internal Control — Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). Based on this assessment, our management concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was not effective at February 28, 2023 because of the material weaknesses described below.

Management identified control deficiencies at the subsidiary level that constituted material weaknesses. A “material weakness”, as defined by COSO, is a deficiency, or combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is more than a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the Company’s annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. Management identified the following material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting as of February 28, 2023:

The degree of compliance with established policies and procedures had deteriorated at the Korean Subsidiary. Due to jurisdictional challenges of operating the Korean Subsidiary from the U.S., the Company relied upon the cooperation of the Korean Subsidiaries management to maintain adherence to and comply with the documented internal control procedures, including the dissemination of its financial results and support thereof to SolarWindow Technologies, Inc, the parent company, for purposes of consolidating the Company’s financial results. Management is unable to assess compliance with the Korean Subsidiary’s documented and established policies and procedures due to the management of the Korean Subsidiary failing to provide the financial information required for consolidation thereby resulting in the inability of the Company’s auditors to complete their review procedures of the Korean Subsidiary.

Also, due to reductions in staffing at the Korean Subsidiary, there is inadequate segregation of duties consistent with control objectives. The Korean Subsidiary’s management is comprised of a single individual resulting in a situation where limitations of segregation of duties exist.

Accordingly, because of identifying the above material weaknesses we have concluded that these control deficiencies resulted in a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis by the Company’s internal controls.

Management believes that the material weaknesses set forth above are intrinsic to our small size and that these weaknesses are limited to the Korean Subsidiary.

Remedies Employed as of February 28, 2023

Management has retained counsel in South Korea to provide legal services with respect to the recovery of its assets, and with the dissolution of the Korean Subsidiary as resolved by the Board on January 13, 2023.

Remedies Employed as of the Date of this Quarterly Report

On April 25, 2023, management formally removed the Korean Subsidiary management and installed persons affiliated with the Company thus providing management with the authority, not previously held, to direct and oversee the Korean Subsidiary.

On May 25, 2023, management engaged a Korean accounting firm to provide accounting services, financial reporting and assist with the dissolution of the Korean subsidiary.

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.

We are not required by current SEC rules to include an auditor's attestation report. Our registered public accounting firm has not attested to Management's reports on our internal control over financial reporting.
