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, 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. On January 13, 2023, the Board formally elected to dissolve the Korean Subsidiary. SWT has retained accountants and counsel in South Korea to assist in the dissolution of the Korean Subsidiary.
Liquidity
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, 2023, 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, 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.
| 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.
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.
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 2024 and 2023 ended on November 30, 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 $

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.
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
None.
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 months ended November 30, 2023 and 2022:
| Schedule of statement of operations and comprehensive loss | ||||||||

| Total current liabilities | $ | $ | ||||||
| 7 |
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.
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:

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. The following warrants may be exercised on a cashless basis. A summary of the Company’s warrants outstanding and exercisable as of November 30, 2023 and August 31, 2023 is as follows:

| Series T | $ | |||||||||||||||
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 estimates the grant date fair value of stock options using a Black-Scholes valuation model. No stock options were granted in the past two years.

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

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.

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
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.
| 11 |
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 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 November 30, 2023, the Company had a capitalized asset balance of $103,633 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 operating results for the three months ended November 30, 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:
| 2024 compared to 2023 | ||||||||||||||||

Comparison of the three months ended November 30, 2023 to the three months ended November 30, 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 November 30, 2023, compared to the three months ended November 30, 2022, SG&A costs increased primarily due to higher professional and consulting fees ($133,000), offset by decreases in personnel costs ($16,000) and other administrative costs ($2,000).
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 November 30, 2023, compared to the three months ended November 30, 2022, R&D costs decreased primarily as a result of a decrease in CRADA 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 due to the tapering off of the vesting period of prior granted options combined with no option grants over the past few years.
Net loss from continuing operations
Consolidated net loss from continuing operations decreased $59,535 to $499,502 during the three months ended November 30, 2023, as compared to a net loss of $559,037 in the same period of the prior year. The decrease during the three months ended November 30, 2023, compared to 2022 is primarily due to lower costs related to stock compensation, and R&D offset by higher professional and consulting fees.
| 13 |
Net loss from discontinued operations
Net loss from discontinued operations of $1,870 during the three months ended November 30, 2023, and is primarily comprised of costs related to accounting fees. Net loss from discontinued operations of $167,120 during the three months ended November 30, 2022, is primarily comprised of costs related to SG&A ($87,000), legal fees ($64,000) and R&D ($16,000).
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, 2023, the Company had cash, cash equivalents, and short-term investments of $5,435,020. 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, | 2024 compared | |||||||||||
| 2023 | 2022 | to 2023 | ||||||||||
| Net cash used in operating activities | $ | (557,590 | ) | $ | (469,447 | ) | $ | (88,143 | ) | |||
| Net cash provided by in investing activities | 200,000 | - | 200,000 | |||||||||
| Effect of exchange rate changes on cash | - | (500 | ) | 500 | ||||||||
| Net increase (decrease) in cash and cash equivalents | $ | (357,590 | ) | $ | (469,947 | ) | $ | 112,357 | ||||
Operating Activities - Operating activities consist of net loss adjusted for certain non-cash items, including depreciation, stock-based compensation expense, and the effect of changes in working capital. The amount of cash used during the three months ended November 30, 2023 compared to cash used during the three months ended November 30, 2022 decreased $88,143 due to an approximate decrease in cash layouts related to personnel ($16,000), R&D ($45,000), and working capital items ($27,000).
Investing Activities - We have used cash primarily for liquid short-term investments, purchases of furniture, office equipment, leasehold improvements, and computers. In February 2023, we purchased $5,500,000 of twelve-month term deposits of which the Company redeemed $200,000 during the three months ended November 30, 2023

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 nine months ended November 30, 2023.

Corporate Information
SolarWindow Technologies, Inc., a Nevada corporation, was incorporated in 1998. The Company’s executive offices are located at 9375 E Shea Blvd., Suite 107-B, Scottsdale AZ 85260. The Company’s telephone number is (800) 213-0689. Our Internet address is www.solarwindow.com. We make available free of charge through our Internet website our Annual Reports on Form 10-K, Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q, Current Reports on Form 8-K and amendments to those reports filed or furnished pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, as soon as reasonably practicable after we electronically file such material with, or furnish it to, the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). The information accessible through our website is not a part of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
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
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Our Acting Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer (“Management”), after evaluating the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) as of November 30, 2023, have concluded that, as of such date, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective at the reasonable assurance level. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by an issuer in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the issuer’s management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Management does not expect that the Company’s disclosure controls or the Company’s internal controls will prevent all errors and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, have been detected. Because of the inherent limitations in a cost-effective control system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected. We will conduct periodic evaluations of our internal controls to enhance, where necessary, our procedures and controls.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting identified in connection with the evaluation described above that occurred during the three months ended November 30, 2023 that have materially affected or are reasonably likely to materially affect our internal control over financial reporting.
