HYPERSOLAR, INC.

MARCH 31, 2013
1. Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all normal recurring adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the nine months ended March 31, 2013 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending June 30, 2013. For further information refer to the financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the Company's Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2012.
Going Concern
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis of accounting, which contemplates continuity of operations, realization of assets and liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business. The accompanying financial statements do not reflect any adjustments that might result if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern. The Company does not generate revenue, and has negative cash flows from operations, which raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern and appropriateness of using the going concern basis is dependent upon, among other things, additional cash infusion. The Company has obtained funds from its shareholders since its inception through the period ended March 31, 2013. Management believes this funding will continue, and has also obtained funding from new investors. Management believes the existing shareholders and the prospective new investors will provide the additional cash needed to meet the Company’s obligations as they become due, and will allow the development of its core business.
2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
This summary of significant accounting policies of HyperSolar, Inc. is presented to assist in understanding the Company’s financial statements. The financial statements and notes are representations of the Company’s management, which is responsible for their integrity and objectivity. These accounting policies conform to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and have been consistently applied in the preparation of the financial statements.
Development Stage Activities and Operations
The Company has been in its initial stages of formation and for the six months ended March 31, 2013, and had no revenues. A development stage activity is one in which all efforts are devoted substantially to establishing a new business and even if planned principal operations have commenced, revenues are insignificant.
Revenue Recognition
The Company recognizes revenue when services are performed, and at the time of shipment of products, provided that evidence of an arrangement exists, title and risk of loss have passed to the customer, fees are fixed or determinable, and collection of the related receivable is reasonably assured. To date, the Company has had no revenues and is in the development stage.
Cash and Cash Equivalent
The Company considers all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the accompanying financial statements. Significant estimates made in preparing these financial statements include the estimate of useful lives of intangible assets, and the deferred tax valuation allowance. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
Fair Value of Financial Instruments, requires disclosure of the fair value information, whether or not recognized in the balance sheet, where it is practicable to estimate that value. As of March 31, 2013, the balances reported for cash, prepaid expenses, accounts payable, accrued expenses, and derivative liability approximate the fair value because of their short maturities.
We adopted ASC Topic 820 (originally issued as SFAS 157, “Fair Value Measurements”) as of January 1, 2008 for financial instruments measured as fair value on a recurring basis. ASC Topic 820 defines fair value, established a framework for measuring fair value in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States and expands disclosures about fair value measurements.
Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. ASC Topic 820 established a three-tier fair value hierarchy which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (level 3 measurements). These tiers include:
|
●
|
Level 1, defined as observable inputs such as quoted prices for identical instruments in active markets;
|
| ● |
Level 2, defined as inputs other than quoted prices in active markets that are either directly or indirectly observable such as quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets or quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active; and
|
| ● |
Level 3, defined as unobservable inputs in which little or no market data exists, therefore requiring an entity to develop its own assumptions, such as valuations derived from valuation techniques in which one or more significant inputs or significant value drivers are unobservable.
|
We measure certain financial instruments at fair value on a recurring basis. Assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis are as follows at March 31, 2013:

Loss per Share Calculations
Loss per Share dictates the calculation of basic earnings per share and diluted earnings per share. Basic earnings per share are computed by dividing income available to common shareholders by the weighted-average number of common shares available. Diluted earnings per share is computed similar to basic earnings per share except that the denominator is increased to include the number of additional common shares that would have been outstanding if the potential common shares had been issued and if the additional common shares were dilutive. A total of 69,838,762 shares for purchase warrants were not used in the calculation of the loss per share as they were all anti-dilutive. The Company’s diluted loss per share is the same as the basic loss per share for the period ended March 31, 2013, as the inclusion of any potential shares would have had an anti-dilutive effect due to the Company generating a loss.

8. CONVERTIBLE PROMISSORY NOTES (Continued)
ASC Topic 815 provides guidance applicable to convertible debt issued by the Company in instances where the number into which the debt can be converted is not fixed. For example, when a convertible debt converts at a discount to market based on the stock price on the date of conversion, ASC Topic 815 requires that the embedded conversion option of the convertible debt be bifurcated from the host contract and recorded at their fair value. In accounting for derivatives under accounting standards, the Company recorded a liability of $515,871 representing the estimated present value of the conversion feature considering the historic volatility of the Company’s stock, and a discount of $294,500 representing the imputed interest associated with the embedded derivative. The discount is amortized over the life of the convertible debt, which resulted in the recognition of $148,166 in interest expense for the nine months ended March 31, 2013, and the derivative liability is adjusted periodically according to stock price fluctuations. At the time of conversion, any remaining derivative liability will be charged to additional paid-in capital.
8. CONVERTIBLE PROMISSORY NOTES
For purpose of determining the fair market value of the derivative liability, the Company used Black Scholes option valuation model. The significant assumptions used in the Black Scholes valuation of the derivative are as follows:

Overview
Inspired by the photosynthetic process that plants use to harness the power of the sun to create energy molecules, Hypersolar, Inc. we are developing a novel solar-powered nanoparticle system that mimics photosynthesis to separate hydrogen from water. On November 15, 2011, we filed a patent application to protect the intellectual property rights to the production of renewable hydrogen and natural gas using sunlight, water, and carbon dioxide.
Hydrogen is the lightest and abundant chemical element, constituting roughly 75% of the universe's chemical elemental mass (Palmer, D. (13 September 1997). "Hydrogen in the Universe".NASA). However, naturally occurring elemental hydrogen is relatively rare on earth and hydrogen gas is most often produced using fossil fuels. Industrial production is mainly from the steam reforming of natural gas and is usually employed near its production site, with the two largest uses being crude oil processing (hydrocracking) and ammonia production, mostly for the fertilizer market. We are developing what we believe is a cleaner and greener way to produce this high value product.
In addition to the many industrial uses of hydrogen, one of the most intriguing uses, is for fuel cells for transportation. A fuel cell is a device that converts the chemical energy from a fuel into electricity through a chemical reaction with oxygen or another oxidizing agent, using hydrogen as the most common fuel. Although there are currently no fuel cell vehicles available for commercial sale, carmakers are hopeful that hydrogen fuel cells and infrastructure technologies will be developed in the future. (http://world.honda.com/FuelCell/)
Market Opportunity
Hydrogen has number of applications from chemical processing, petroleum recovery and refining, metal production and fabrication, aerospace, and fuel cells. The sectors with the greatest demand for hydrogen are petroleum refineries for hydrocracking and ammonia production for fertilizer. Transportation fuel is an emerging sector which we believe has an enormous potential in the future. We believe fuel cell technology will be the major growth driver of hydrogen in the future as many major automobile manufacturers such as Honda and Nissan bring hydrogen powered cars to market.
Hydrogen production is a large and growing industry Market size of global hydrogen production was estimated to be 53 million metric tons in 2010, of which 12% was shared by merchant hydrogen and rest with captive production (Markets and Markets Research; Hydrogen Generation Market). With decreasing sulfur level in petroleum products, lowering crude oil quality and rising demand of hydrogen operated fuel cell applications, global hydrogen production volume is forecasted to grow by compound annual growth rate of 5.6% from 2011 to 2016. The hydrogen production market in terms of value was estimated to be approximately $82 billion in 2011. (Markets and Markets Research; Hydrogen Generation Market)
Critical Accounting Policies
Our discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based upon our financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities. On an ongoing basis, we evaluate our estimates, including those related to impairment of property, plant and equipment, intangible assets, deferred tax assets and fair value computation using the Black Scholes option pricing model. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions, such as the trading value of our common stock and estimated future undiscounted cash flows, that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying value of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions; however, we believe that our estimates, including those for the above-described items, are reasonable.
Revenue Recognition
Revenue on product sales is recognized when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, such as when a purchase order or contract is received from the customer, the selling price is fixed, title to the goods has changed and there is a reasonable assurance of collection of the sales proceeds. We obtain written purchase authorizations from our customers for a specified amount of product at a specified price and consider delivery to have occurred at the time of shipment. Revenue is recognized at shipment and we record a reserve for estimated sales returns, which is reflected as a reduction of revenue at the time of revenue recognition.
Use of Estimates
In accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, management utilizes estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements as well as the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. These estimates and assumptions relate to recording net revenue, collectibility of accounts receivable, useful lives and impairment of tangible and intangible assets, accruals, income taxes, inventory realization, stock-based compensation expense, Black Scholes valuation model inputs, and other factors. Management believes it has exercised reasonable judgment in deriving these estimates. Consequently, a change in conditions could affect these estimates.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The Company's cash, accounts payable, accrued interest, and note payable are stated at cost which approximates fair value due to the short-term nature of these instruments.
Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements
Management reviewed accounting pronouncements, and the following pronouncement was adopted during the nine months ended March 31, 2013.
The Company adopted ASC 815 "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities". This pronouncement addresses the accounting for derivative instruments including certain derivative instruments embedded in other contracts, and hedging activities. Derivative instruments that meet the definition of assets and liabilities should be reported in the financial statements at fair value, and any gain or loss should be recognized in current earnings. The adoption of this pronouncement did not have a material effect on the financial statements of the Company.
As of March 31, 2013, we had a working capital deficit of $(821,844) as compared to $(106,059) as of June 30, 2012. This increase of $(715,785) was due primarily to a decrease in prepaid expenses, with an increase in accounts payable, accrued expense, derivative liability and convertible promissory notes for the current period.
Cash flow used in operating activities was $(277,774) for the nine months ended March 31, 2013 and $(477,688) for the prior period ended March 31, 2012. The decrease in cash used by operating activities was primarily due to an increase in deposits, prepaid expenses, accounts payable, and accrued expenses. Also, the overall increase in net loss was due to the increase in non-cash amortization of discount and change in derivative liability. The Company is in its development stage and has had no revenues.
Cash used in investing activities for the nine months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012, was $0, respectively. There were no purchases made during the respective periods for tangible or intangible assets.
Cash provided by financing activities during the nine months ended March 31, 2013 was $278,480 and $487,000 for the prior period ending March 31, 2012. The decrease of $(208,520) in financing activities was due to a decrease in equity financing and an increase in convertible promissory notes from investors during the current period.
Our financial statements as of March 31, 2013 have been prepared under the assumption that we will continue as a going concern from inception (February 18, 2009) through Mach 31, 2013. Our independent registered public accounting firm has issued their report dated September 28, 2012, that included an explanatory paragraph expressing substantial doubt in our ability to continue as a going concern without additional capital becoming available. Our ability to continue as a going concern ultimately is dependent on our ability to generate a profit which is dependent upon our ability to obtain additional equity or debt financing, attain further operating efficiencies and, ultimately, to achieve profitable operations. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
We believe our current cash balance as of May 14, 2013 will fund our operations for the next thirty days as we continue working to develop a prototype of our technology. As a result of our inability to raise sufficient financing in the third fiscal quarter, the CEO and certain vendors have not been fully compensated for their services. We are seeking further financing through the sales of additional equity securities. The sale of additional equity securities could result in additional dilution to our stockholders. The incurrence of indebtedness would result in increased debt service obligations and could result in operating and financing covenants that would restrict our operations. Financing may not be available in amounts and on terms acceptable to us, or at all. To the extent that additional capital is raised through the sale of equity or convertible debt securities, the issuance of these securities could result in further dilution to our stockholders. If we are unable to obtain additional financing, we may be forced to curtail our operations.
PLAN OF OPERATION AND FINANCING NEEDS
Our plan of operation within the next twelve months is to further research, develop, and protect our technology.
In May of 2012, we completed a lab scale prototype of our technology that can be seen on our website at www.hypersolar.com This prototype demonstrates hydrogen production from small scale solar devices coated with our unique, low-cost polymer coating, and submerged in waste water from a pulp and paper mill. This prototype will be used for demonstration purposes only and is not meant for commercial deployment. We are currently underway in the development of a larger field-scale demonstration prototype. We do not expect to purchase any significant plant and equipment for completing the prototype.
In addition to working on a field-scale prototype, we intend to explore other utilizations of our most recently filed patent. This invention is related to coatings, processes, and systems for stable operation of electrical, electrochemical, photoelectrochemical and photosynthetic devices with increased efficiency, unprecedented long term operational stability, and low cost. The present invention provides a stable functional coating material which when disposed on an electroactive device stabilizes it from electrical/chemical/electrochemical/photo degradation providing exceptional operational performance. We are exploring several possible systems that could benefit including “stabilization of a solar battery” and “enhancement and possible replacement for platinum in a fuel cell.” We will be working with our research partner, University of California Santa Barbara, to further explore the potentially valuable opportunities from this invention.
In March of 2013, we announced plans to build a renewable hydrogen generator named the H2Generator. We are still in development of this system that uses semiconductor devices immersed in water to split water to form hydrogen without the aid of an external solar panel and electrolyzer. We are currently working on a one square meter demonstration unit of this system.
Operating Expenses
Operating expenses for the nine months ended March 31, 2013 were $499,796 and $535,938 for the prior period March 31, 2012. The net change in operating expenses consisted primarily of a net decrease in investor relations expense of $(35,865), miscellaneous G&A expenses of (9,703), non-cash stock compensation of $(11,535), and an increase in research and development of $20,961.
Net Loss
For the nine months ended March 31, 2013, our net loss was $(757,536) and $(540,353) for the prior period March 31, 2013. The change in net loss was related primarily to a reduction in operating expenses of $36,142, an increase in other income and expenses of $(253,325), which consisted of interest expense and penalties of $(13,022), non-cash expense of a loss on change in derivative of $(85,860), amortization of debt discount of $(168,641), and an increase on gain for forgiveness of debt of $10,000. We recently began operating our business, and no revenues were generated to cover our operating costs, since we are in the development stage of our Company.
