NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

1. BACKGROUND, BASIS OF PRESENTATION, AND GOING CONCERN

 

Background

 

NanoFlex Power Corporation (‘we” “our”, the “Company”), formerly known as Universal Technology Systems, Corp., was incorporated in the State of Florida on January 28, 2013. On September 24, 2013, the Company completed the acquisition of Global Photonic Energy Corporation, a Pennsylvania corporation (“GPEC”), pursuant to a Share Exchange Agreement (the “Share Exchange Transaction”). Immediately following the closing of the Share Exchange Transaction, the Company owned 100% of the equity interests of GPEC and GPEC became a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. On November 25, 2013, the Company changed its name from “Universal Technology Systems, Corp.” to “NanoFlex Power Corporation” and its trading symbol was changed to “OPVS” on December 26, 2013.

 

GPEC was incorporated in Pennsylvania on February 7, 1994. The Company is organized to fund, develop, commercialize and license advanced photovoltaic technologies that enable thin film solar products with what we believe to be industry-leading efficiencies, light weight, flexibility, and low total system cost.

 

These technologies are targeted at certain broad applications, including: (a) portable and off-grid power generation, (b) building applied photovoltaics (“BAPV”), (c) building integrated photovoltaics (“BIPV”), (d) space vehicles and unmanned aerial vehicles (“UAVs”), (e) semi-transparent solar power generating windows or glazing, (f) ultra-thin solar films for automobiles or other consumer applications and (g) solar powered sensors.

 

We believe these technologies have been demonstrated in a laboratory environment with our research partners. The Company is currently taking steps to pursue product development and commercialization on some of these technologies in collaboration with industry partners and potential customers.

 

Basis of Presentation

 

The accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Certain information and footnote disclosures have been omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. In the opinion of management, the accompanying consolidated financial statements include normal recurring adjustments that are necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the interim periods presented. These consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with our audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2017 included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K. The results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018 are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the full fiscal year or any other periods.

 

The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make a number of estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, expenses, and related disclosures. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

 

Certain balances were reclassified from Convertible debt, net of unamortized discounts and deferred financing costs to short-term debt, net of unamortized discounts, net for the year ended December 31, 2017 to conform to the current year presentation.

Revenue Recognition

 

Adoption of ASC Topic 606, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers”

 

On January 1, 2018, we adopted Topic 606 using the modified retrospective method applied to those contracts which were not completed as of January 1, 2018. Results for reporting periods beginning after January 1, 2018 are presented under Topic 606, while prior period amounts are not adjusted and continue to be reported in accordance with our historic accounting under Topic 605.

 

There was no impact to the opening balance of accumulated deficit or revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 as a result of applying Topic 606.

 

The Company applies a five-step approach in determining the amount and timing of revenue to be recognized: (1) identifying the contract with a customer, (2) identifying the performance obligations in the contract, (3) determining the transaction price, (4) allocating the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract and (5) recognizing revenue when the performance obligation is satisfied. Substantially all of the Company’s revenue is recognized at the time control of the products transfers to the customer. 

 

The Company generates revenue from our Joint Development Agreements (“JDA’s”) and our ARL contract. R&D engineering services through JDA’s are a core component of the Company’s operations and business model, since they are a necessary prerequisite to obtaining intellectual property licensing agreements with customers. As such, R&D engineering services are expected to be a sustained revenue stream for the Company as it works with additional customers and the services constitute a portion of the Company’s ongoing central operations. The Company has identified the promise to provide engineering services as its performance obligation, which is satisfied over time. The Company has a right to consideration from its customer an amount that corresponds directly with the value to the customer of the Company’s performance completed to date. As allowed by a practical expedient in Topic 606, the entity recognizes revenue in the amount to which the entity has a right to invoice. The term between invoicing and when payment is due is not significant.

 

Due to the fact that the client only has one type of service and only a few customers, disaggregation is deemed unnecessary.

 

Going Concern

 

The Company has generated limited revenue to date. The Company has a working capital deficit of $11,377,544 and an accumulated deficit of $232,559,206 as of September 30, 2018. The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent on raising capital to fund ongoing operations and carry out its business plan and ultimately to attain profitable operations. Accordingly, these factors raise substantial doubt as to the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded assets, or the amounts of and classification of liabilities that might be necessary in the event the Company cannot continue in existence. To date, the Company has funded its initial operations primarily by way of the sale of equity securities, convertible note financing, short term financing from private parties, and advances from related parties.

  

Fair Value

 

ASC 820 Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (“ASC 820”) defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and enhances disclosures about fair value measurements. It defines fair value as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. ASC 820 also establishes a fair value hierarchy which requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. The standard describes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:

 

Level 1: Observable inputs such as quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

 

Level 2: Inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. These include quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities that are not active; and model-driven valuations whose inputs are observable or whose significant value drivers are observable. Valuations may be obtained from, or corroborated by, third-party pricing services.

 

6

 

 

Level 3: Unobservable inputs to measure fair value of assets and liabilities for which there is little, if any market activity at the measurement date, using reasonable inputs and assumptions based upon the best information at the time, to the extent that inputs are available without undue cost and effort.

  

The following table sets forth a reconciliation of changes in the fair value of financial assets and liabilities classified as Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy:

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02 ,” Leases” (Topic 842)  which includes a lessee accounting model that recognizes two types of leases - finance leases and operating leases. The standard requires that a lessee recognize on the balance sheet assets and liabilities for leases with lease terms of more than 12 months. The recognition, measurement, and presentation of expenses and cash flows arising from a lease by a lessee will depend on its classification as a finance or an operating lease. New disclosures to help investors and other financial statement users better understand the amount, timing, and uncertainty of cash flows arising from leases are also required. These disclosures include qualitative and quantitative requirements, providing information about the amounts recorded in the financial statements. ASU 2016-02 will be effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company is currently evaluating the effect its adoption of this standard, if any, on our consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

 

In May 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-12, “ Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Narrow-Scope Improvements and Practical Expedients ”, to clarify certain core recognition principles including collectability, sales tax presentation, noncash consideration, contract modifications and completed contracts at transition and disclosures no longer required if the full retrospective transition method is adopted. The effective date and transition requirements for these amendments are annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim reporting periods therein, and that would also permit public entities to elect to adopt the amendments as of the original effective date as applicable to reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016. The new guidance allows for the amendment to be applied either retrospectively to each prior reporting period presented or retrospectively as a cumulative-effect adjustment as of the date of adoption.  We have identified changes to our business processes and internal controls relating to contracts and disclosures that are needed upon the adoption of the new guidance. We adopted the new guidance on January 1, 2018, using the modified retrospective method applied to those contracts which were not completed as of that date. See revenue recognition policy above for further details.

 

In May 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-09,  “Compensation—Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Scope of Modification Accounting”,  to provide clarity and reduce both (1) diversity in practice and (2) cost and complexity when applying the guidance in Topic 718, Compensation—Stock Compensation, to a change to the terms or conditions of a share-based payment award. The ASU provides guidance about which changes to the terms or conditions of a share-based payment award require an entity to apply modification accounting in ASC 718. The amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017 and should be applied prospectively to an award modified on or after the adoption date. Early adoption is permitted, including adoption in an interim period.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2018, the Company borrowed an aggregate of $1,414,620, net of original issue discounts and fees of $178,130 under short-term convertible notes payable. As of September 30, 2018, and December 31, 2017, the Company had outstanding short-term convertible notes payable of $2,095,991 and $2,069,208, net of unamortized discounts of $140,096 and $390,687, respectively. The outstanding convertible notes of the Company are unsecured, bear interest between 0% and 12% per annum and mature between November 2018 and August 2019. These notes are convertible at fixed rates ranging from $0.25 - $0.50 per share for the first 180 days. After 180 days or upon default, the conversion rates become variable with prices ranging from 58% - 61% of the lowest sale price of the common stock during the 20 to 25 consecutive trading days prior to the date of conversion. These gave rise to a beneficial conversion feature which is recognized as additional paid in capital and a corresponding debt discount. If warrants were issued with the debt, the Company valued the warrants and recorded the relative fair value as additional debt discount.

 

During the nine months ended September 30, 2018, an aggregate of $19,056 of original issue discounts were added to two convertible notes as a result of the Most Favored Nations Provision triggered by a transaction with another noteholder. In addition, 158,333 warrants to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock were issued with a 10-year term and an exercise price of $1.00 per share. The Company valued the warrants using the black-scholes model and recorded a loss on extinguishment of debt.

The warrants have a 10-year term and exercise prices ranging from $0.25 to $0.50 per share. The Company also entered into two letter agreements with one noteholder, pursuant to which $8,782 was added to the principal balance of the loan in exchange for extending the conversion date of the note. The modification of these convertible notes resulted in loss on extinguishment of debt, accrued interest added to principal of $35,000, and an additional $8,782 added to principal, which was included in loss on extinguishment of debt.

 

During the nine months ended September 30, 2018, the Company paid off short-term convertible debt of $790,838. This resulted in a prepayment penalty loss recorded as total loss on debt extinguishment.

This increased the number of shares received upon conversion from 2,202,000 to 11,266,000. These transactions met the requirements of, and are being recorded as, an inducement of the conversion of debt. The difference in the fair value of the securities were measured on the dates the signed agreements were received and were recorded as a loss on induced conversion of debt totaling $4,412,952. The full principal balances totaling $1,076,000 with accrued interest of $23,600 were converted into 10,996,000 shares of common stock and 5,000,000 warrants. Upon conversion, the Company accelerated the recognition of all remaining debt discount and also recognized additional interest expense of $149,599 associated with the warrants that were issued upon conversion. This additional warrant expense was immediately recognized as interest expense with an offset to additional paid-in-capital. The conversion of debt on two notes totaling $25,000 was recorded subsequent to September 30, 2018 when the shares were issued.

Legal Matters

 

As reported in the Company’s prior filings, and specifically as described in the Company’s quarterly report for the quarter ended June 30, 2017, which was filed with the SEC on August 9, 2017, the Company was a party to a lawsuit in the United States District Court Southern District of New York, which was brought by John D. Kuhns. The parties have settled the matter. Pursuant to the settlement, all claims against the Company have been dismissed in exchange for issuing Mr. Kuhns 1,750,000 shares of the Company’s Common Stock and a promissory note for $125,000. This resulted in a loss on settlement of $633,292 recognized during 2017. The common stock was issued on February 23, 2018. The $125,000 note and accrued interest of $11,139 was paid off on June 20, 2018.

 

6. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

 

In October and November 2018, the Company issued an aggregate of 2,191,966 shares of its common stock related to the exercise of 2,191,966 warrants and received cash proceeds of $219,197.

 

In October 2018, the Company signed an agreement with an investor to modify the conversion price on an existing convertible note from $0.50 to $0.10 and to convert the note that has a balance of $25,000. This increased the number of shares received upon conversion from 50,000 to 250,000. This transaction met the requirements of, and, and is being recorded as, an inducement of the conversion of debt. The investor converted the principal of $25,000 and accrued interest of $2,000 upon modification into 270,000 shares and pursuant to this agreement, exercised 150,000 warrants in exchange for $15,000, resulting in the issuance of 150,000 shares.

 

In October 2018, convertible notes totaling $50,000 with accrued interest of $4,000 were converted into 540,000 shares of the Company’s common stock.

 

In October 2018, the Company entered into a letter agreement with a non-convertible noteholder, pursuant to which $12,500 of accrued interest was added to the principal balance in exchange for extending the maturity date of this note.

 

In October 2018, the Company entered into a letter agreement with a non-convertible noteholder, pursuant to which a $25,000 note with $1,000 of accrued interest, was forgiven in exchange for 260,000 shares of the Company’s common stock.

  

In October 2018, the Company entered into a consulting agreement pursuant to which 2,000,000 warrants to purchase the Company’s common stock were issued in exchange for consulting services. The warrants have an exercise price of $0.50, a ten-year term and a cashless exercise provision. Upon execution of this agreement, 20% of the warrants will be exercisable and an additional 20% on each one-year anniversary of the agreement for 4 years.

  

In October 2018, the Company received $350,000 cash from a major shareholder which was used to pay off short-term convertible debt of $210,000. The total repaid was $333,123 including prepayment penalties recorded as total loss on debt extinguishment. The terms of the repayment of the $350,000 are still being determined.

 

In November 2018, the Company entered into an amendment with a convertible noteholder, pursuant to which the maturity date and the conversion date were extended in exchange for a cash payment of $31,080.

 

In November 2018, the Company received $100,000 cash from an investor. The terms of the repayment of the $100,000 are still being determined.

NanoFlex Power Corporation is engaged in the development, commercialization, and licensing of advanced photovoltaic technologies that enable thin film solar products with industry-leading efficiencies, light weight, flexibility, and low total system cost. NanoFlex has the exclusive worldwide license to the intellectual property resulting from the Company’s sponsored research programs, which have resulted in an extensive portfolio of issued and pending U.S. patents, plus their foreign counterparts. The patents are referred to herein as being the Company’s patents or as our “IP”. Building upon the sponsored research, the Company plans to work with industry partners to commercialize its technologies to target key applications where it believes products incorporating its technologies present compelling competitive advantages.

 

These patented and patent-pending technologies fall into two general categories – (1) cost reducing and performance-enhancing fabrication processes and device architectures for ultra-high efficiency Gallium Arsenide (“GaAs”)-based solar thin films and (2) organic photovoltaic (“OPV”) materials, architectures, and fabrication processes for low cost, ultra-thin solar films offering high quality aesthetics, such as semi-transparency and tinting, and highly flexible form factors. The technologies are targeted at certain broad applications that require high power conversion efficiency, flexibility, and light weight. These applications include: (a) portable and off-grid solar power generation, (b) BAPV, (c) BIPV, (d) space vehicles and UAVs, (e) semi-transparent solar power generating glazing or windows (f) ultra-thin solar films for automobiles or other consumer applications and (g) solar powered sensors. The Company believes these technologies have been demonstrated in a laboratory environment with our research partners.   

 

16

 

 

The Company currently holds exclusive rights to an extensive portfolio of issued and pending U.S. patents, plus their foreign counterparts, which cover architecture, processes and materials for flexible, thin-film organic photovoltaic (“OPV”) and Gallium Arsenide (“GaAs”)-based solar technologies. In addition, we have an extensive collection of patents in process. Some of our technology holdings include foundational concepts in the following areas:

 

  Tandem organic solar cell
  Fullerene acceptors
  Blocking layers
  New materials for visible and infrared sensitivity
  Scalable growth technologies
  Inverted solar cells
  Materials for enhanced light collection via multi-exciton generation
  Mixed layer and nanocrystalline cells
  Solar films, coatings, or paints
  Semi-transparent cells
  Ultra-low cost, ultra-high efficiency, flexible thin film GaAs cells
  Accelerated and recyclable liftoff process
  Cold-weld bonding of GaAs solar cells to plastic substrates and metal foils
  Micro-inverters monolithically integrated into GaAs solar cells
  Low cost, thermo-formed plastic mini-compound parabolic concentrator arrays

     

Plan of Operation and Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

Overall Operating Plan

 

Our business model is oriented around licensing and sublicensing processes and technologies to large, well-positioned commercial partners who can provide manufacturing and marketing capabilities to enable rapid commercial growth. These manufacturing partners can supply customers directly, from which we expect to receive license royalties. Additionally, these manufacturing partners can also serve as a source of solar cell supply for NanoFlex to provide products to customers on its own through a “fab-less” manufacturing model. We believe this “fab-less” manufacturing model is necessary during the early stages of developing new markets.

 

We have made contact with major solar cell electronics manufacturers and other major companies world-wide and are finding potential commercial interest in both our high efficiency and OPV technologies. We are seeking to work closely with those companies interested in our technology solutions to develop proof-of-concept prototypes and processes to mitigate commercialization risks and gain early market entry and acceptance.

 

We have identified high efficiency thin film solar technologies as our nearest term market opportunity. A key to reducing the risk to market entry of our high efficiency technologies by our partners is for us to demonstrate our technologies on their product designs and fabrication processes through technology transfer, joint development and potential sales of products. To support this joint and product development, we have established our own engineering team and plan to expand this team contingent on our ability to secure sponsored development funding and/or raise the necessary capital. This team serves several key functions, including working closely with industry partners to integrate and customize our proprietary processes and technologies into the partner’s product designs and fabrication processes. In addition, the Company is pursuing commercialization efforts in the emerging IoT market with solar powered sensors. In conjunction with facilitating technology transfer, our engineering team will also work closely with downstream partners and customers such as military users for mobile field applications, system integrators, installers, and architects for BAPV and BIPV applications, and engineering, procurement, and construction (“EPC”) companies and project developers for solar farm applications. This customer interaction allows us to better understand application specific requirements and incorporate these requirements into its product development cycle.

 

17

 

 

To support this work, our engineering team leverages the facilities and equipment at the University of Michigan on a recharge basis, which we believe is a cost-effective approach to move the technologies toward commercialization. We believe that this allows our engineering team to work directly with industry partners to acquire early licenses to use our intellectual property without the need for large-scale capital investment in clean room facilities and solar cell fabrication equipment. 

 

We are also pursuing sponsored development funding to generate revenue in the near-term. In connection with our focus on potential government-sponsored research projects, on June 19, 2017, the Company announced that that it is part of a consortium that was awarded a $5.7 million contract from the Army Research Laboratory’s Army Research Office to develop high power, flexible, and lightweight solar modules for portable power applications. The consortium consists of NanoFlex, SolAero, the University of Michigan, and the University of Wisconsin. Pursuant to the foregoing and as part of the consortium, SolAero was awarded a 4-year contract amounting to $5.7 million with the Army Research Lab (ARL) to develop solar power mats.  SolAero has engaged the Company as a subcontractor for $3.3 million over 4 years of which $1.6 million will be provided to the University of Michigan as a subcontractor to the Company. The Company’s contract with SolAero provides for direct reimbursement of the Company’s costs, including indirect overhead. Having an established technical team enables us to more effectively pursue and execute sponsored research projects from the Department of Defense (“DoD”), the Department of Energy (“DOE”), and the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (“NASA”), each of which has interests in businesses that can deliver ultra-lightweight, high-efficiency solar technologies for demanding applications. However, there can be no assurance that the Company can effectively pursue such research projects, nor if it can, that such pursuit will be successful.  

 

Another potential revenue source is from JDAs and license agreements with existing solar cell manufacturers, similar to the JDA with SolAero. Once we are able to initially demonstrate the efficacy of our processes and technologies on partners’ products and fabrication processes, we expect to be in a position where we can sign licenses covering further joint development, IP licensing, solar cell supply, and joint marketing, as applicable. We anticipate that partnerships with one or more of the existing high efficiency solar cell manufacturers can be supported by our engineering team, and result in near-term revenue opportunities, as we have demonstrated with our current joint development partner. 

 

As reported in the Company’s Form 8-K filed with the SEC on February 7, 2017, on February 2, 2017, the Company entered into a License Agreement with SolAero Technologies Corp. (“SolAero”), pursuant to which the Company agreed to grant SolAero a non-exclusive worldwide license to use, sell, offer for sale, import or otherwise dispose of certain products (the “Licensed Products”) using the Company’s patented proprietary manufacturing processes relating to Gallium Arsenide-based photovoltaic cells (the “Licensed Patents”) within the space and near-space fields of use (the “License Field”). SolAero is to pay the Company a royalty based on sales of the Licensed Products within the Licensed Field. The agreement does not provide SolAero with the right to sublicense the Licensed Patents. The term of the agreement runs from February 2, 2017 through the expiration date of the last expiring patent included in the Licensed Technology. However, each party may terminate the agreement upon a material breach by the other party.

 

There can be no assurance that our overall term operating plan will be successful or that we will be able to fulfill it, as it is largely dependent on raising capital and there can be no assurance that capital can be raised.

 

Results of Operations

 

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017

 

Revenue was $364,768 and $736,676 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, respectively. Revenue was $80,807 and $130,787 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, respectively. The revenue for 2018 and 2017 primarily relates to engineering services provided under the ARL contract. The increases in the 2018 periods as compared to 2017 relates to increased spending on the ARL contract due to the acceleration of the program as requested by ARL. In addition, the ARL contract began in May 2017 and was fully in effect during 2018.

 

We do not believe that inflation or changing prices have had a material effect on our business, financial condition, or results of operations.

 

18

 

  

Cost of Services

 

Cost of services was $364,768 and $736,676 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, respectively. Cost of services was $80,807 and $167,089 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, respectively. The increase was due to spending on the ARL contract during the 2018 periods which was not in effect until May 2017. 

 

Research and Development Expenses

 

Research and development expenses were $215,316 for the three months ended September 30, 2018, a 20% increase from $179,021 for the three months ended September 30, 2017. Research and development expenses were $606,838 for the nine months ended September 30, 2018, a 23% increase from $494,692 for the nine months ended September 30, 2017. The increase is attributable to increased costs in building prototypes and developing applications for our commercialization efforts offset by a reduction in expenses associated with our research agreement with the University of Michigan on August 30, 2017. The increase was also due to a recapture of non-cash expenses consisting of warrants issued for services which were previously expensed resulting from fair value calculation. Non-cash expenses were $9,058 for the three months ended September 30, 2018 and non-cash expenses recaptured were $28,009 for the three months ended September 30, 2017.  Non-cash expenses were $32,604 for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 and non-cash expenses recaptured were $89,974 for the nine months ended September 30, 2017. 

 

Patent Application and Prosecution Fees

 

Patent application and prosecution fees consist of the fees due for prosecuting and maintaining the patents resulting from the research program sponsored by the Company and were $389,133 for the three months ended September 30, 2018, a 55% increase from $251,825 for the three months ended September 30, 2017. Patent application and prosecution fees were $1,242,749 for the nine months ended September 30, 2018, a 35% increase from $920,144 for the nine months ended September 30, 2017. The year-over-year increase is attributable to the timing of application and prosecution of patents and the result of increased patent activity by our engineering team in commercializing and developing our technologies.

 

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses

 

Selling, general and administrative expenses were $323,465 for the three months ended September 30, 2018, a 36% decrease from $506,953 for the three months ended September 30, 2017. Selling, general and administrative expenses were $1,301,917 for the nine months ended September 30, 2018, a 16% decrease from $1,553,535 for the nine months ended September 30, 2017. The decrease is primarily attributable to a reduction in non-cash expenses associated with warrants issued to employees during the year. Non-cash expenses were $39,554 and $166,095 for the three months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively. Non-cash expenses were $232,480 and $445,912 for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively. 

 

Legal Settlement Expense

 

During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, the Company recorded a legal settlement expense of $633,292 relating to the settlement of the John Kuhns litigation discussed in Note 5. Pursuant to the settlement, all claims against the Company have been dismissed in exchange for issuing Mr. Kuhns 1,750,000 shares of the Company’s Common Stock and a promissory note for $125,000.

 

Other Income (Expense)

 

Other income (expense) for the three months ended September 30, 2018, was ($7,841,170) as compared to ($511,444) for the three months ended September 30, 2017. Other income (expense) for the nine months ended September 30, 2018, was ($12,862,582) as compared to $4,105,123 for the nine months ended September 30, 2017. These changes are primarily due to the gain on change in fair value of derivative liabilities, the timing of entering into interest bearing debt agreements and the timing of the conversion of existing debt and extinguishment of old debt.

  

19

 

 

Net Income (Loss)

 

The net income (loss) for the three months ended September 30, 2018 was ($8,769,084), compared to ($2,082,535) for the three months ended September 30, 2017. The net income (loss) for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 was $(16,014,086), compared to $467,158 for the nine months ended September 30, 2017. The change in net income (loss) is impacted by non-cash expenses, including the gain on change in fair value of the derivative liability, loss on extinguishment of debt, and loss on the induced conversion of debt offset by changes in research and development, patent application and prosecution fees, and selling, general and administrative expenses, each of which is described above.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

Sources of Liquidity

 

As of September 30, 2018, we had cash and cash equivalents of $12,789 and a working capital deficit of $11,377,544, as compared to cash and cash equivalents of $61,459 and a working capital deficit of $9,939,999 as of December 31, 2017. The increase in working capital deficit is attributable to an increase in accrued liabilities and debt during the nine months ended September 30, 2018. 

 

The Company needs to raise additional capital and is in the process of raising additional funds in order to continue to finance our research and development, service existing liabilities and commercialize photonic energy conversion technologies utilizing organic and GaAs semiconductor-based solar cells. In the next 12 months we need to raise approximately $13 million in additional capital in order to continue our operations as described above, support our corporate functions and repay some of our liabilities. We anticipate that the additional funding can result from private sales of our equity securities. However, there can be no assurance that the additional funds will be available to us when needed, or if available, on terms that will be acceptable to us or our shareholders. If we are unable to raise sufficient funds, the Company may have to cease its operations.

 

Analysis of Cash Flows

 

Net cash used in operating activities decreased by $1,159,606 to $2,556,483 for the nine months ended September 30, 2018, compared to $3,716,089 for the nine months ended September 30, 2017. The cash used in operating activities was primarily attributable to the change in net income (loss), the change in fair value of derivative liabilities, the loss on extinguishment of debt and the increase in accrued expenses and accounts payable.

 

Net cash used in investing activities was $68,851 and $11,060 during the nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively. This consisted of purchases of fixed assets.

 

Net cash provided by financing activities was $2,576,664 and $3,734,234 during the nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively. For the nine months ended September 30, 2018, this includes proceeds from sale of common shares and warrants of $723,781, proceeds from exercise of warrants of $938,294, subscription proceeds received for common stock to be issued of $17,500, borrowings on related party debt of $300,000, borrowings on promissory note debt of $275,000, borrowing on convertible debt of $1,572,120, advances received from related party of $8,000, offset by repayments on promissory note debt of $295,000, repayments on convertible debt of $790,838 and advances repaid to related party of $172,193.   For the nine months ended September 30, 2017, this includes proceeds from the sale of common shares and warrants of $407,524, borrowings on related party debt of $800,000, borrowings on promissory note debt of $1,370,000, borrowings on convertible debt of $1,538,500, advances received from related party of $138,500, partially offset by repayments on convertible debt of $315,790 and advances repaid to related party of $204,500.

Going Concern

 

The Company has only generated limited revenues to date. The Company has a working capital deficit of $11,377,544 and an accumulated deficit of $232,559,206 as of September 30, 2018. The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent on raising capital to fund ongoing operations and carry out its business plan and ultimately to attain profitable operations. Accordingly, these factors raise substantial doubt as to the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded assets, or the amounts of and classification of liabilities that might be necessary in the event the Company cannot continue in existence. 

 

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

 

We do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements.

   

Critical Accounting Policies

 

There were no changes in our critical accounting policies during the nine months ended September 30, 2018 from those set forth in “Critical Accounting Policies” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017 filed with the SEC on March 27, 2018. 

 

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

 

We are a smaller reporting company as defined by Rule 12b-2 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and are not required to provide the information under this item.

   

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

 

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

Pursuant to Rule 13a-15(b) under the Exchange Act, the Company carried out an evaluation, with the participation of the Company’s management, including the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined under Rule 13a-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of the end of the period covered by this Report. Based upon that evaluation, the Company’s management concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were not effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that the Company files or submits under the Exchange Act, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION

 

ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

 

From time to time, we may become involved in various lawsuits and legal proceedings which arise in the ordinary course of business. Litigation is subject to inherent uncertainties, and an adverse result in these or other matters may arise from time to time that may harm our business.

 

As reported in the Company’s prior filings, and specifically as described in the Company’s quarterly report for the quarter ended June 30, 2017, which was filed with the SEC on August 9, 2017, the Company was a party to a lawsuit in the United States District Court Southern District of New York, which was brought by John D. Kuhns. The parties have settled the matter. Pursuant to the settlement, all claims against the Company have been dismissed in exchange for issuing Mr. Kuhns 1,750,000 shares of the Company’s Common Stock and a promissory note for $125,000. This resulted in a loss on settlement of $633,292 recognized during 2017. The note was accruing interest at 12% per annum and was due on May 31, 2018. The common stock was issued on February 23, 2018. The $125,000 note and accrued interest of $11,139 was paid off on June 20, 2018.
