NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)
NOTE 1 – Organization
Organization
SolarWindow Technologies, Inc. was incorporated in the State of Nevada on May 5, 1998. On August 24, 2020, the Company formed wholly owned SolarWindow Asia (USA) Corp. as the holding company for SolarWindow Asia Co. Ltd., (collectively “SolarWindow Asia”) a company formed in the Republic of Korea for the purpose of expansion into the Asian markets. SolarWindow™ technology harvests light energy from the sun and from artificial light sources, by generating electricity from a transparent coating of organic photovoltaic (“OPV”) solar cells, applied to glass and plastics, thereby creating a “photovoltaic” effect. 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 November 30, 2021, the Company had $
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 November 30, 2021, and for the three months ended November 30, 2021 and 2020 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, 2021 included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on November 4, 2021.
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 November 30, 2021, results of operations, stockholders’ equity and cash flows for the three months ended November 30, 2021 and 2020. 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.
| 5 |
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. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated.
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, 2021. 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 first quarter in fiscal 2022 and 2021 ended on November 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively.
Cash and Highly Liquid Investments
As
of November 30, 2021, the Company’s cash, includes $
| November 30, | August 31, | |||||||
| 2021 | 2020 | |||||||
| Cash | $ | $ | ||||||
| Short-term investments | ||||||||
| Cash and cash equivalents | $ | $ | ||||||
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 August 31, 2021, the short-term investments consists of a fixed-term deposit with a twelve-month maturity at the time of purchase which matured on October 1, 2021.
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
In December 2019, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2019-12, Income Taxes – Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes. The guidance removes certain exceptions for recognizing deferred taxes for equity method investments, performing intra period allocation, and calculating income taxes in interim periods. The ASU also adds guidance to reduce complexity in certain areas, including recognizing deferred taxes for goodwill and allocating taxes to members of a consolidated group, among others. This guidance is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2020. Early adoption of the standard is permitted, including adoption in interim or annual periods for which financial statements have not yet been issued. The transition requirements are dependent upon each amendment within this update and applied either prospectively or retrospectively. The Company adopted of ASU 2019-12 beginning September 1, 2021 with no impact on its Financial Statements.

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).
Following is the computation of basic and diluted net loss per share for the three months ended November 30, 2021 and 2020:

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.

COVID-19 Pandemic and the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (“CARES”) Act
On January 30, 2020, the World Health Organization (“WHO”) announced a global health emergency because of a new strain of coronavirus originating in Wuhan, China (the “COVID-19 outbreak”) and the risks to the international community as the virus spreads globally beyond its point of origin. In March 2020, the WHO classified the COVID-19 outbreak as a pandemic, based on the rapid increase in exposure globally.
The full impact of the COVID-19 outbreak continues to evolve as of the date of this report. As such, it is uncertain as to the full magnitude that the pandemic may have on the Company’s financial condition, liquidity, and future results of operations. Management is actively monitoring the impact of the global situation on its financial condition, liquidity, operations, suppliers, industry, and workforce. Given the daily evolution of the COVID-19 outbreak and the global responses to curb its spread, the Company is not able to estimate the effects of the COVID-19 outbreak on its results of operations, financial condition, or liquidity for fiscal year 2022.
The pandemic may adversely affect our operations, our employees and our employee productivity. It may also impact the ability of our subcontractors, partners, and suppliers to operate and fulfill their contractual obligations, and result in an increase in costs, delays or disruptions in performance. Our employees are working remotely and using various technologies to perform their functions. In reaction to the spread of COVID-19 in the United States, many businesses have instituted social distancing policies, including the closure of offices and worksites and deferring planned business activity. The disruption and volatility in the global and domestic capital markets may increase the cost of capital and limit our ability to access capital. Both the health and economic aspects of the COVID-19 virus are highly fluid and the future course of each is uncertain. For these reasons and other reasons that may come to light if the coronavirus pandemic and associated protective or preventative measures expand, we may experience a material adverse effect on our business operations, revenues and financial condition; however, its ultimate impact is highly uncertain and subject to change.
On March 27, 2020, then President Trump signed into law the CARES Act. The CARES Act, among other things, includes provisions relating to refundable payroll tax credits, deferment of employer side social security payments, net operating loss carryback periods, alternative minimum tax credit refunds, modifications to the net interest deduction limitations, increased limitations on qualified charitable contributions, and technical corrections to tax depreciation methods for qualified improvement property. The CARES Act also appropriated funds for the SBA Paycheck Protection Program loans that are forgivable in certain situations to promote continued employment, as well as Economic Injury Disaster Loans to provide liquidity to small businesses harmed by COVID-19.
NOTE 9 – Leases
On
February 26, 2021, SolarWindow Asia entered into an apartment lease for the purposes of housing foreign personnel.
| 11 |
In
September 2020, SolarWindow Asia entered a lease for office space in South Korea.
The Company’s policy is to record all leases with a term of less than one year as an operating lease with rent expensed recorded on a straight-line basis and to not recognize lease assets or lease liabilities.
As of November 30, 2021, the Company has not entered into any leases other than those described above which have not yet commenced and would entitle the Company to significant rights or create additional obligations.
NOTE 10 – Subsequent Events
Management has reviewed material events subsequent of the period ended November 30, 2021 and through the date of filing of financial statements in accordance with FASB ASC 855 “Subsequent Events”. In managements opinion, no material subsequent events have occurred as of the date of this quarterly report.

Overview
SolarWindow Technologies, Inc. is a developer of transparent electricity-generating coatings (“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. Potential applications of LiquidElectricity™ Coatings span multiple industries, including architectural, automotive, agrivoltaic, aerospace, commercial transportation and marine. Our LiquidElectricity™ Coatings and SolarWindow™ products 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:
| · | further improving our technology efficiency and transparency; |
| · | optimizing electrical power (current and voltage) output; |
| · | optimizing the application of the active layer coatings and application processes which make it possible for LiquidElectricity™ Coatings to generate electricity on glass surfaces; |
| · | developing improved electricity-generating coatings by enhancing performance, processing, reliability, and durability; |
| · | optimizing LiquidElectricity™ Coating performance on flexible substrates; and |
| · | developing high speed and large area roll-to-roll (R2R) and sheet-to-sheet (S2S) coating application methods required for commercial-scale building integrated photovoltaic (“BIPV”) products and windows. |
On December 28, 2015, we entered into 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 ten 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 November 30, 2021, the Company had a capitalized asset balance of $136,508 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 November 30, 2021 may not be indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year ending August 31, 2022 because of the COVID-19 pandemic and other potential beneficial or detrimental unforeseen occurrences. In addition, 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 months ended November 30, 2021 to the three months ended November 30, 2020
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 November 30, 2021 compared to the three months ended November 30, 2020, SG&A costs increased due primarily to a $188,298 increase in personnel costs and $101,438 increase in professional fees offset by a decrease of $25,396 in other administrative 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. During the three months ended November 30, 2021 compared to the three months ended November 30, 2020, R&D costs increased as a result of a $9,706 increase in CRADA costs, $83,685 increase in personnel costs and $4,941 increase in other R&D related costs.
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 related to the prior year which included expense related to 2,500,000 stock purchase options granted in the fourth quarter of fiscal year ended August 31, 2020 to each of Mr. Jatinder S. Bhogal, CEO and Chairman and Mr. John Rhee, President and Director.

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 November 30, 2021, the Company had cash of $11,394,950. 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:
| Three Months Ended November 30, | ||||||||||||
| 2021 | 2020 | 2021 compared to 2020 | ||||||||||
| Net cash used in operating activities | $ | (725,443 | ) | $ | (579,314 | ) | $ | 146,129 | ||||
| Net cash used in investing activities | 4,996,858 | (5,025,565 | ) | (10,022,423 | ) | |||||||
| Effect of exchange rate changes on cash | (3,921 | ) | 2,866 | 6,787 | ||||||||
| Net increase (decrease) in cash and cash equivalents | $ | 4,267,494 | $ | (5,602,013 | ) | $ | (9,869,507 | ) | ||||
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, and the effect of changes in working capital. The increase in cash used in operating activities over the prior period is mainly due to an increase in R&D Costs, personnel costs and professional fees offset by a decrease in other administrative costs.
