NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)
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.
On August 24, 2020, the SolarWindow Technologies, Inc. formed wholly owned SolarWindow Asia (USA) Corp., a Nevada Corporation, as the holding company for SolarWindow Asia Co. Ltd., (the “Korean Subsidiary”) a company formed in the Republic of Korea for the purpose of expansion into the Asian markets.
During the three months ended May 31, 2022, the
Company recognized an impairment of all assets related to the Korean Subsidiary totaling $
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 May 31, 2022, the Company
had $
NOTE 2 – Interim Statement Presentation
Basis of Presentation and Use of Estimates
The accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements of the Company as of May 31, 2022, and for the three and nine months ended May 31, 2022 and 2021 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 May 31, 2022, results of operations, stockholders’ equity and cash flows for the three and nine months ended May 31, 2022 and 2021. 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.
| 5 |
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.
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 third quarter in fiscal 2022 and 2021 ended on May 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively.
Cash and Highly Liquid Investments
As of May 31, 2022, the Company’s 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 consist 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 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 and nine months ended May 31, 2022 and 2021:

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
A novel strain of coronavirus (COVID-19) was first identified in December 2019, and subsequently declared a global pandemic by the World Health Organization on March 11, 2020. As a result of the outbreak, many companies have experienced disruptions in their operations and in markets served. The Company considered the impact of COVID-19 on the assumptions and estimates used and determined that there was no material adverse impact on the Company’s results of operations and financial position as of May 31, 2022. The full extent of the future impact of COVID-19 on the Company’s plan of operations is uncertain. A prolonged outbreak could have a material adverse impact on the Company’s ability to identify and implement business opportunities or continue to effectuate its business plan.
NOTE 9 – Leases
On February 26, 2021, the Korean Subsidiary entered
into an apartment lease for the purposes of housing foreign personnel.
| 11 |
In September 2020, the Korean Subsidiary entered

Forward-Looking Statements
This Report on Form 10-Q contains forward-looking statements which involve assumptions and describe our future plans, strategies, and expectations, and are generally identifiable by use of words such as “may,” “will,“ “should,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “estimate,” “believe,” “intend,” or “project,” or the negative of these words or other variations on these words or comparable terminology. These statements are expressed in good faith and based upon a reasonable basis when made, but there can be no assurance that these expectations will be achieved or accomplished.
Such forward-looking statements include statements regarding, among other things, (a) the potential markets for our technologies, our potential profitability, and cash flows, (b) our growth strategies, (c) expectations from our ongoing research and development activities, (d) anticipated trends in the technology industry, (e) our future financing plans, and (f) our anticipated needs for working capital.

These statements may be found under “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” as well as in this Form 10-Q generally. Actual events or results may differ materially from those discussed in forward-looking statements as a result of various factors, including, without limitation, the matters described in this Form 10-Q generally. In light of these risks and uncertainties, there can be no assurance that the forward-looking statements contained in this filing will in fact occur. In addition to the information expressly required to be included in this filing, we will provide such further material information, if any, as may be necessary to make the required statements, in light of the circumstances under which they are made, not misleading.
Although forward-looking statements in this report reflect the good faith judgment of our management, forward-looking statements are inherently subject to known and unknown risks, business, economic and other risks and uncertainties that may cause actual results to be materially different from those discussed in these forward-looking statements. Readers are urged not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date of this report. We assume no obligation to update any forward-looking statements in order to reflect any event or circumstance that may arise after the date of this report, other than as may be required by applicable law or regulation. Readers are urged to carefully review and consider the various disclosures made by us in our filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission which attempt to advise interested parties of the risks and factors that may affect our business, financial condition, results of operation and cash flows. If one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize, or if the underlying assumptions prove incorrect our actual results may vary materially from those expected or projected.
Except where the context otherwise requires and for purposes of this Form 10-Q only, the terms “we,” “us,” “our,” “Company” “our Company,” and “SolarWindow” refer to SolarWindow Technologies, Inc., a Nevada corporation.
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.

During the three months ended May 31, 2022, the Company recognized an impairment of all assets related to the Korean Subsidiary totaling $674,200. The impairment was recognized due to the Company’s inability to obtain from the management of the Korean Subsidiary the complete financial statements and related documentation for the three months ended May 31, 2022 thereby placing into doubt the recoverability of assets located in South Korea. Any amounts that become recoverable will be recognized accordingly. SWT has retained counsel in South Korea to provide legal services on behalf of SWT with respect to the recovery of these assets.
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 May 31, 2022, the Company had a capitalized asset balance of $130,970 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 May 31, 2022 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.

Comparison of the three and nine months ended May 31, 2022 to the three and nine months ended May 31, 2021
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 May 31, 2022 compared to the three months ended May 31, 2021, SG&A costs decreased due primarily to a $57,206 decrease in professional fees and $3,740 decrease in personnel costs offset by an increase of $13,208 in other administrative costs. During the nine months ended May 31, 2022 compared to the nine months ended May 31, 2021, SG&A costs increased due primarily to a $426,931 increase in personnel costs and $120,877 increase in professional fees offset by a decrease of $49,194 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 May 31, 2022 compared to the three months ended May 31, 2021, R&D costs decreased as a result of a $61,205 decrease in CRADA costs, $38,284 decrease in personnel costs and $12,619 decrease in other R&D related costs. During the nine months ended May 31, 2022 compared to the nine months ended May 31, 2021, R&D costs decreased as a result of an $80,614 decrease in CRADA costs and $12,514 decrease in other R&D related costs offset by a $76,979 increase in personnel 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, former CEO and Chairman and Mr. John Rhee, former President, CEO and Chairman.
| 15 |
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Our primary cash needs are for personnel, professional and R&D related fees and other administrative costs. Our principal source of liquidity is cash. As of May 31, 2022, the Company had cash of $8,632,495 and the potential to recover the $558,344 deposit made by the Korean Subsidiary for roll-to-roll equipment which has been impaired. 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:
| Nine Months Ended May 31, | 2022 compared to | |||||||||||
| 2022 | 2021 | 2021 | ||||||||||
| Net cash used in operating activities | $ | (2,878,836 | ) | $ | (1,944,605 | ) | $ | (934,231 | ) | |||
| Net cash used in investing activities | 4,398,402 | (5,050,759 | ) | 9,449,161 | ||||||||
| Net cash provided by financing activities | - | 719,400 | (719,400 | ) | ||||||||
| Effect of exchange rate changes on cash | (14,527 | ) | 887 | (15,414 | ) | |||||||
| Net increase (decrease) in cash and cash equivalents | $ | 1,505,039 | $ | (6,275,077 | ) | $ | 7,780,116 | |||||
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 increase in cash used in operating activities over the prior period is mainly due to an approximate increase in cash layouts related to R&D Costs of $392,000 and $542,000 related to general and administrative costs.
Investing Activities - We have used cash primarily for liquid short-term investments, purchases of furniture, equipment, leasehold improvements and computers. Excluding the effects of the short term, $5,000,000 investment, the Company used $652,357 related to investing activities, primarily consisting of equipment and leasehold improvements at our South Korean Subsidiary.
Financing Activities - Cash flows from financing activities totaled $719,400 in 2021 as a result of the exercise of 200,000 Series S Warrants with a strike price of $3.42 per share and the exercise of 10,000 stock options at a strike price of $3.54 per share.
Indebtedness
None.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We have no off-balance sheet arrangements.
Other Contractual Obligations
In September 2020, the Company, through its wholly owned direct and indirect subsidiaries, SolarWindow Asia (USA) Corp. and SolarWindow Asia Co., Ltd., entered a lease for office space in South Korea. The office lease expires on September 23, 2022. Monthly rent is approximately $1,200.

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 Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended August 31, 2021.

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
Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Interim Chief Financial Officer, we conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”), as of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report. Based on this evaluation, our Interim Chief Financial Officer concluded that as of May 31, 2022, that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective such that the information required to be disclosed in our SEC filings is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms, and is accumulated and communicated to our management as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
There was a lapse in our internal control environment and operating procedures in that our operating procedures require the cooperation of all of the Company’s executive officers and directors, as well as the cooperation of the executive officers and directors of the Company’s subsidiaries.
| 17 |
During the three months ended May 31, 2022, the Company recognized an impairment of all assets related to the Korean Subsidiary totaling $674,200. The impairment was recognized due to the Company’s inability to obtain from the management of the Korean Subsidiary the complete financial statements and related documentation for the three months ended May 31, 2022 thereby placing into doubt the recoverability of assets located in South Korea. Any amounts that become recoverable will be recognized accordingly. SWT has retained legal counsel in South Korea to provide legal services on behalf of SWT with respect to the recovery of these assets.
Based on the historical quarterly operations of the Korean Subsidiary, the Company expensed to SG&A $217,543 during the three months ended May 31, 2022 compared to $201,105 and $209,982 during the three months ended February 28, 2022 and November 30, 2022, respectively, and impaired $674,200 which consisted primarily of a deposit to WI-A, an equipment manufacturing firm for the prior planned purchase of equipment.
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.
