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, 2023, and for the three months ended November 30, 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, 2023, included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on November 21, 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 November 30, 2023, results of operations, stockholders’ equity and cash flows for the three months ended November 30, 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. 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, 2023. 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.
