1. Background:
Ciralight Global, Inc. (the "Company") was incorporated in the State of Nevada
on February 26, 2009. The Company is in the business of designing, developing,
and distributing proprietary advanced day lighting systems for traditional
non-residential markets that benefit from natural lighting.
In April 2009, we entered into an Exchange of Stock for Assets Agreement with
Mr. George Adams, Sr. ("Adams Agreement") to acquire certain assets including,
but not limited to, a U.S. patent, patent applications pending in Canada,
Europe, Mexico and the United States, artwork, trademarks, equipment, furniture,
databases, technical drawings, promotional materials, trade names and inventory
parts and marketing rights related to the SunTracker One(TM) and SunTracker
Two(TM) daylighting products previously owned and distributed by Ciralight,
Inc., a Utah corporation, such assets having been foreclosed on by Mr. Adams,
who was the secured creditor of Ciralight, Inc. Ciralight, Inc. is a predecessor
to the Company, although we have no affiliation, contractual or otherwise, with
Ciralight, Inc. or any of its employees, officers or directors.
Ciralight, Inc., the company whose assets were foreclosed on by Mr. Adams, was
also in the business of designing, developing, and distributing proprietary
advanced day lighting systems for traditional non-residential markets that
benefit from natural lighting. Ciralight, Inc. ceased operations on March 14,
2009, following the foreclosure by Mr. Adams. Since the acquisition of the
assets was through a foreclosure, the former company and its officers remain
liable for the Ciralight Inc.'s debts and the Company has no financial
responsibility for those debts. None of the employees or management of Ciralight
Inc. are involved in the Company. The business operations of our Company are
located in Irvine, California and the Company operates with four employees, the
Chief Executive Officer, the a Controller, a marketing/promotions manager and an
executive assistant.
In April 2009, we acquired all of the above described assets from Mr. Adams,
except for the U.S. patent and the patent applications pending in Canada,
Europe, Mexico and the United States, in exchange for 3,200,000 shares of our
common stock and 1,000,000 shares of our Series A Preferred Stock. On December
15, 2009, we acquired the U.S. patent and patent applications pending in Canada,
Europe, Mexico and the United States from Mr. Adams in exchange for the issuance
by us of an additional 400,000 shares of our common stock and a convertible
promissory note in the amount of $250,000. The note is convertible into shares
of our common stock at a conversion rate of one share per $.25 of outstanding
principal and interest. As a result of this transaction, Mr. Adams is our
largest shareholder.

2. Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements have been prepared in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of
America ("GAAP") for interim financial information and in conformity with the
instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 8-03 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, these
unaudited condensed financial statements do not include all of the information
and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements and, therefore,
should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and related notes
contained in the Company's most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the
Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC").
The unaudited condensed financial statements included in this document have been
prepared on the same basis as the annual condensed financial statements and in
management's opinion, reflect all adjustments, including normal recurring
adjustments, necessary to present fairly the Company's financial position,
results of operations and cash flows for the interim periods presented. In the
opinion of management, the disclosures included in these financial statements
are adequate to make the information presented not misleading.
The results of operations for the nine month period ended September 30, 2013 are
not necessarily indicative of the results that the Company will have for any
subsequent quarter or full fiscal year.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires
management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in
the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ
significantly from those estimates.
Reclassifications
Certain reclassifications have been made to prior period amounts to conform to
the current period presentations.
3. Liquidity and Operations:
The Company had a net loss of $526,048 for the nine months ended September 30,
2013. As of September 30, 2013, the Company had cash of $4,207 and restricted
cash of $7,636. In addition, the Company had accounts receivable of $96,493,
inventory on hand at a cost valuation of $158,051, and accounts payable of
$251,852.
The Company has experienced losses primarily attributable to administrative
costs, sales costs, marketing and other costs associated with the strategic plan

NOTES TO THE CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)
to develop as a world class supplier of sustainable lighting technologies. Cash
flows from operations have not been sufficient to meet our obligations.
Therefore, we have had to raise funds through several financing transactions. At
least until we reach breakeven volume in sales and develop and/or acquire the
capability to manufacture and sell our products profitably, we will need to
continue to rely on cash from external financing sources. Our operations during
the quarter ended September 30, 2013 and the year ended December 31, 2012 were
financed by product sales contracts, common stock issuances, shareholder
advances, as well as from working capital reserves. In addition, on March 23,
2012, the company entered into a revolving line of credit with the Adams family,
a related party, in the amount of up to $500,000. The line of credit is for a
period of six months at an interest rate of prime plus 2%. In the event that the
loan balance is not fully repaid at the end of the six month term, then the
outstanding balance plus accrued interest may be convertible to common stock at
the option of the Creditors at the rate of $0.10 per share. The due date on the
line of credit was extended indefinitely by the Adams with the understanding
that they could call the note due anytime thereafter at their option. In
addition they have advanced amounts in excess of the initial limit of $500,000.
In addition the company was approved in 2012 by the XM Bank (by the Dept. Of
Commerce) to insure and finance transactions for international Distributors and
Dealers. This provides up to $270,000 in financing. Under this XM Bank program,
the company will receive 90% of an international sale at the time the order
ships thus improving the company's cash flow. The international Distributor and
Dealer than have 90 days, instead of 21 days to pay back the XM Bank which is a
good incentive for our Distributors and Dealers to sell more product. When the
Distributor or Dealer pays back XM Bank, the balance of the order is remitted to
the Company. In addition, The company will continue to obtain working capital by
accessing capital markets. In May 2013 the Company signed an agreement with BCC
Valuation Advisors, an investment Banking Company to raise up to $5,000,000 for
Ciralight Global, Inc. BCC Capital has presented the company to a number of
Venture Capital Companies and potential strategic partners. BCC continues to
work with a number of candidates with varying levels of interest and believes it
has a serious investor in consideration for a seven figure investment. The
Company put out a call to the existing shareholders to advance their pro-rata
share of a $300,000 bridge loan was distributed on June 14th. This was done as a
one year loan with interest at 6% per year, convertible to stock between months
six and twelve at $0.35/share. In addition, with the Jobs Act implementation,
the company is contracting with Crowdfunder.com to raise equity funds in an
amount of $500,000 to $1,500,000, and Kickstarter to fund specific new products.
Management believes that with the increased level of sales, the call to the
shareholders, the working capital funding to be provided by BCC, crowdfunder,
kickstarter and the XM Bank financing the company will have sufficient liquidity
to carry on operations for the next twelve months. However, there can be no
assurance that management will be able to fully deliver on its business plans.

the event that the loan balance is not fully repaid at the end of the six month

OVERVIEW
We are a manufacturer and wholesaler of "advanced skylights" for use in
warehouses, schools, retail stores, airports, military installations and
residential buildings. We renamed our products as of January 1st, 2011. Our
products are no longer referred to as SunTrackerOne, SunTrackerTwo, and
SunTrackerThree. Instead, our 4'x4' SunTracker is now called the SunTracker 400,
(with an option of a single or triple mirror), and our 4'x8' SunTracker is now
called the SunTracker 800. When our smaller model for homes and classrooms is
released, it will be called the SunTracker 200. These new model names are
simple, intuitive, and reinforce the brand name and image.
We were incorporated in the state of Nevada on February 26, 2009, under the name
"Ciralight West, Inc." On March 13, 2009, we changed our name to "Ciralight
Global, Inc." In April 2009, we entered into an Exchange of Stock for Assets
Agreement with Mr. George Adams, Sr. to acquire certain assets including, but
not limited to, a United States patent, patent applications pending in Canada,
Europe, Mexico and the United States, artwork, trademarks, equipment, furniture,
databases, technical drawings, promotional materials, trade names and inventory
parts and marketing rights related to the Suntracker One(TM) and Suntracker
Two(TM) daylighting products previously owned and distributed by Ciralight,
Inc., a Utah corporation, such assets having been foreclosed on by Mr. Adams,
who was the secured creditor of Ciralight, Inc. We did not acquire any equity
securities, debts, liabilities or financial obligations of Ciralight, Inc., the
Prior Company. Ciralight, Inc. is a predecessor to Ciralight Global, Inc.,
although we have no affiliation, contractual or otherwise, with Ciralight, Inc.
or any of its employees, officers or directors. Ciralight, Inc. ceased
operations on January 27, 2009.
In April 2009, we acquired all of the above described assets from Mr. Adams,
except for the United States patent and the patent applications pending in
Canada, Europe, Mexico and the United States, in exchange for 3,200,000 shares
of our common stock and 1,000,000 shares of our Series A Preferred Stock. In
December 2009, we acquired the United States patent and the patent applications
pending in Canada, Europe, Mexico and the United States from Mr. Adams in
exchange for the issuance by us of an additional 400,000 shares of our common
stock and a convertible promissory note in the amount of $250,000. The
promissory note we issued to Mr. Adams is convertible into shares of our common
stock at a conversion rate of one share per $.25 of outstanding principal and
interest. As a result of this transaction, Mr. Adams is our largest shareholder
and has voting control over us.
As described in the above paragraphs, Ciralight, Inc. is a predecessor to
Ciralight Global, Inc., since the major portion of the business and assets of
Ciralight, Inc. were acquired by Ciralight Global, Inc. in a series of related
successions in each of which the acquiring person or entity acquired the major
portion of the business and assets of Ciralight, Inc.
14
RISKS, UNCERTAINTIES AND TRENDS RELATING TO THE COMPANY AND INDUSTRY
The industrial lighting industry is intensely competitive. We have numerous
competitors in the United States and elsewhere. Several of these competitors
have already successfully marketed and commercialized products that compete with
our products. Our success is dependent up our ability to effectively and
profitably produce, market and sell our products. Our business strategy and
success is dependent on the skills and knowledge of our management team and
consultants. The marketability and profitability of our products is subject to
unknown economic conditions, which could significantly impact our business,
financial condition, the marketability of our products and our profitability. We
are vulnerable to the current economic crisis which may negatively affect our
profitability. Our success depends, in part, on the quality of our products.
Our SunTracker(TM) products provide natural daylighting that is a key component
in many current construction and existing structures. SunTrackers(TM) are
maintenance free, powered by the sun and completely self-contained. We are
currently marketing our SunTracker(TM) products to warehouse owners, roofing
companies, shopping centers, schools and military installations in the United
States. We are working on establishing sales in Canada, Mexico and overseas. The
market for advanced skylights is growing year over year due to pressures on
building owners, tenants, schools and government agencies to reduce energy
consumption and expense. The "green" movement, carbon footprint ideology and
other environmental initiatives should provide increased growth in our market
segment.
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES
Our management's discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results
of operations are based on our condensed financial statements, which have been
prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the
United States of America ("GAAP") for interim financial information and in
conformity with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 8-03 of Regulation
S-X. Accordingly, these unaudited condensed financial statements do not include
all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial
statements and, therefore, should be read in conjunction with the financial
statements and related notes contained in the Company's most recent Annual
Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC").
The unaudited condensed financial statements included in this document have been
prepared on the same basis as the annual condensed financial statements and in
management's opinion, reflect all adjustments, including normal recurring
adjustments, necessary to present fairly the Company's financial position,
results of operations and cash flows for the interim periods presented. In the
15
opinion of management, the disclosures included in these financial statements
are adequate to make the information presented not misleading.
The results of operations for the nine month period ended September 30, 2013 is
not necessarily indicative of the results that the Company will have for any
subsequent quarter or full fiscal year.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
THREE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2013 COMPARED
TO THREE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2012
NET SALES. Net sales increased from $105,715 for the three months ended
September 30, 2012 to $290,998 for the three months ended September 30, 2013.
This increase was due to the resolution of the prior year manufacturer delay
that impacted our sales.
COST OF SALES. Cost of sales increased from $67,905 for the three months ended
September 30, 2012 to $227,103 for the three months ended September 30, 2013.
This was due to an increase in sales.
GROSS PROFIT. Gross profit decreased from $37,810 for the three months ended
September 30, 2012 to $63,895 for the three months ended September 30, 2013.
This increase was due to an increase in sales.
OPERATING EXPENSES. Our operating expenses consist of research and development
expenses, selling and marketing expenses and general and administrative
expenses. Total operating expenses decreased from $311,640 for the three months
ended September 30, 2013 to $167,031 for the three months ended September 30,
2013. This decrease was due to changes in business operations such as
outsourcing the warehouse functions, reduction in R&D expenditures and
streamlining staffing personnel.
General and administrative expenses decreased from $249,008 for the three months
ended September 30, 2012 to $164,422 for the three months ended September 30,
2013. This decrease was due to changes in business operations such as
outsourcing the warehouse function and streamlining our staffing.
Selling and marketing expenses decreased from $24,377 for the three months ended
September 30, 2012 to $2,609 for the three months ended September 30, 2013. This
decrease was due to increased reliance on internet marketing to secure clients
through the new automated CRM system.
Research and Development expenses decreased from $38,255 for the three months
ended September 30, 2012 to $0 for the three months ended September 30, 2013.
This was decrease was due to the elimination of the R&D expended in 2012 to
determine the issue related to the faulty manufacturer products.
16
INCOME TAXES. For the three months ended September 30, 2013, management has
decided not to record the tax benefit. The tax benefit was not recorded for the
three months ending September 30, 2012 as well.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2013 COMPARED
TO NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2012
NET SALES. Net sales increased from $500,849 for the nine months ended June 30,
2012 to $688,251 for the nine months ended September 30, 2013. This increase in
sales was due to the resolution of the manufacturing problem with the production
of our GPS Controller. Ciralight terminated its relationship in mid-September,
2012, with the manufacturer and elected to move production of its GPS
Controllers to a new supplier. The new manufacturer has been able to reach full
production and we have been able to fill back orders that had accumulated, as
well as proceed with new orders.
COST OF SALES. Cost of sales increased from $441,163 for the nine months ended
September 30, 2012 to $510,442 for the nine months ended September 30, 2013. The
cost of sales increased due to the increase in net sales. As a percent of sales,
the ratio decreased as a result of production efficiencies that reduced costs,
as well as decreased warranty and product replacement costs.
GROSS PROFIT. Gross profit substantially increased from $59,686 for the nine
months ended June 30, 2012 to $177,809 for the nine months ended September 30,
2013. This increase in gross profit was due to increased sales, and lower
production costs and elimination of the warranty costs.
OPERATING EXPENSES. Our operating expenses consist of research and development
expenses, selling and marketing expenses and general and administrative
expenses. Total operating expenses decreased from $882,696 for the nine months
ended September 30, 2012 to $679,148 for the nine months ended September 30,
2013. This decrease was the result of changes in operations to make the company
more efficient and reduce costs.
General and administrative expenses decreased from $706,997 for the nine months
ended September 30, 2012 to $617,384 for the nine months ended September 30,
2013. This decrease was due to changes in our operations that result in cost
efficiencies such as outsourcing the warehouse operations which cut certain
staffing and related occupancy costs.
Selling and marketing expenses decreased from $122,875 for the nine months ended
September 30, 2012 to $56,565 for the nine months ended September 30, 2013. This
decrease was the result of changes in our marketing and selling programs which
included increased reliance on internet marketing.
17
Research and Development expenses decreased from $52,824 for the nine months
ended June 30, 2012 to $5,199 for the nine months ended September 30, 2013. This
decrease was the result of lower engineering costs associated with the
manufacturer issue that occurred in 2012.
INCOME TAXES. For the nine months ended September 30, 2013, management has
decided not to record the tax benefit. The tax benefit was not recorded for the
nine months ending September 30, 2012 as well.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
CASH FLOWS - FOR THE NINE MONTH PERIOD ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2013 and 2012.
Net cash used in operating activities was $(259,733) for the nine months ended
September 30, 2013 and resulted primarily from a net loss of $256,048 partially
offset by sales, collection of receivables, increases in other payables,
collection of deferred revenue and increases in accounts payable. Net cash used
in operating activities was $(517,164) for the nine month period ended September
30, 2012 and resulted primarily from a net loss of $851,548 partially offset by
decreases in accounts receivable and related party notes receivable and an
increase in deferred revenues.
Net cash was used in investing activities for the nine months ended September
30, 2013 for the purchase of Patent application costs in the amount of $18,470,
and Net cash used in investing activities for the nine months ended September
30, 2012 for Software Development in the amount of $21,710.
Net cash provided by financing activities was $201,350 for the nine months ended
September 30, 2013 and resulted primarily from net proceeds from related party
notes payable. Net cash provided by financing activities was $460,000 for the
nine month period ended September 30, 2012 and resulted primarily from net
proceeds from related party notes payable.
The Company had net losses of $526,048, and $851,548 for the nine months ended
September 30, 2013 and 2012 respectively. As of September 30, 2013, the Company
had cash of $4,207 and restricted cash of $7,636. In addition, the Company had
accounts receivable of $96,493, inventory on hand at a cost valuation of
$158,051, and accounts payable of $251,852.
The Company has experienced losses primarily attributable to an interruption in
the product supply during the third and fourth quarters of 2012, as well as
increased research, development, marketing and other costs associated with the
strategic plan to position the company as a world class supplier of sustainable
lighting technologies. Cash flows from operations have not been sufficient to
meet our obligations. Therefore, we have had to raise funds through several
18
financing transactions. At least until we reach breakeven volume in sales and
develop and/or acquire the capability to manufacture and sell our products
profitably, we will need to continue to rely on cash from external financing
sources. Our operations during the quarter ended September 30, 2013 and the year
ended December 31, 2012 were financed by product sales contracts, common stock
issuances, as well as from working capital reserves. In addition, on March 23,
2012, the company entered into a revolving line of credit with the Adams family,
a related party, in the amount of up to $500,000. The line of credit was
initially for a period of six months at an interest rate of prime plus 2%. This
line of credit has been extended through 2013.
In addition, the Company was approved by the XM Bank (by the Dept. of Commerce)
to insure and finance transactions for international Distributors and Dealers.
This provides up to $270,000 in financing. Under this XM Bank program, the
Company will receive 90% of an international sale at the time the order ships
thus improving the Company's cash flow. The international Distributor and Dealer
than have 90 days, instead of 21 days to pay back the XM Bank which is a good
incentive for our Distributors and Dealers to sell more product. When the
Distributor or Dealer pays back XM Bank, the balance of the order is remitted to
the Company. In addition, The Company will continue to obtain working capital by
accessing capital markets. In May 2013 the Company signed an agreement with BCC
Valuation Advisors, an investment Banking Company to raise up to $5,000,000 for
Ciralight Global, Inc. BCC Capital has presented the company to a number of
Venture Capital Companies and potential strategic partners. BCC continues to
work with a number of candidates with varying levels of interest and believes it
has a serious investor in consideration for a seven figure investment. The
Company put out a call to the existing shareholders to advance their pro-rata
share of a $300,000 bridge loan was distributed on June 14th. This was done as a
one year loan with interest at 6% per year, convertible to stock between months
six and twelve at $0.35/share. In addition, with the Jobs Act implementation,
the company is contracting with Crowdfunder.com to raise equity funds in an
amount of $500,000 to $1,500,000, and Kickstarter to fund specific new products.
Management believes that with the increased level of sales, the call to the
shareholders, the working capital funding to be provided by BCC, Crowdfunder,
Kickstarter and the XM Bank financing the company will have sufficient liquidity
to carry on operations for the next twelve months. However, there can be no
assurance that management will be able to fully deliver on its business plans.
