NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – (UNAUDITED)
NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2015
| 1. | Basis of Presentation |
The accompanying unaudited financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all normal recurring adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2015. For further information refer to the financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the Company's Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014.
Going Concern
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis of accounting, which contemplates continuity of operations, realization of assets and liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business. The accompanying financial statements do not reflect any adjustments that might result if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern. The Company has not generated significant revenue, and has negative cash flows from operations, which raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern and appropriateness of using the going concern basis is dependent upon, among other things, additional cash infusion. The Company has historically obtained funds through private placements offerings of equity and debt. Management believes that it will be able to continue to raise funds by sale of its securities to its existing shareholders and prospective new investors to provide the additional cash needed to meet the Company’s obligations as they become due, and will allow the development of its core of business. There is no assurance that the Company will be able to continue raising the required capital for its operations.
| 2. | SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES |
This summary of significant accounting policies of the Company are presented to assist in understanding the Company’s financial statements. The financial statements and notes are representations of the Company’s management, which is responsible for their integrity and objectivity. These accounting policies conform to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and have been consistently applied in the preparation of the financial statements.
Revenue Recognition
The Company will recognize revenue when services are performed, and at the time of shipment of products, provided that evidence of an arrangement exists, title and risk of loss have passed to the customer, fees are fixed or determinable, and collection of the related receivable is reasonably assured. To date, the Company has not had significant revenues and is in the development stage.
Cash and Cash Equivalent
The Company considers all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the accompanying financial statements. Significant estimates made in preparing these financial statements include the estimate of useful lives of property and equipment, the deferred tax valuation allowance, derivative liabilities and the fair value of stock options. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Intangible Assets
Intangible assets consist of patents that are initially measured at the lower of cost or fair value. The patents are deemed to have an indefinite life and are not amortized. The patents are assessed annually for impairment, or whenever conditions indicate the asset may be impaired, and any such impairment will be recognized in the period identified.
Stock-Based Compensation
The Company measures the cost of employee services received in exchange for an equity award based on the grant-date fair value of the award. All grants under our stock-based compensation programs are accounted for at fair value and that cost is recognized over the period during which an employee, consultant, or director are required to provide service in exchange for the award (the vesting period). Compensation expense for options granted to employees and non-employees is determined in accordance with the standard as the fair value of the consideration received or the fair value of the equity instruments issued, whichever is more reliably measured. Compensation expense for awards granted is re-measured each period.
Determining the appropriate fair value of the stock-based compensation requires the input of subjective assumptions, including the expected life of the stock-based payment and stock price volatility. The Company uses the Black-Scholes option-pricing model to value its stock option awards which incorporate the Company’s stock price, volatility, U.S. risk-free rate, dividend rate, and estimated life. On March 24, 2015, the Company granted 2,450,000 stock options with an exercise price of $0.09 per share, and on September 2, 2015 the Company granted an additional 13,500,000 stock options with an exercise price of $0.26 per share. The options will vest 1/25 on a monthly basis starting April 24, 2015 and October 1, 2015, respectively, and terminate seven (7) years from the date of grant or upon termination of employment.

Income (Loss) per Share Calculations
Loss per Share dictates the calculation of basic earnings per share and diluted earnings per share are computed by dividing income available to common shareholders by the weighted-average number of common shares available. Diluted earnings per share is computed similar to basic earnings per share except that the denominator is increased to include the number of additional common shares that would have been outstanding if the potential common shares had been issued and if the additional common shares were dilutive. The Company’s diluted loss per share is the same as the basic loss per share for the nine months ended September 30, 2015, as the inclusion of any potential shares would have had an anti-dilutive effect due to the Company generating a loss. The Company has excluded 15,978,333 options, 245,000 warrants, and the shares issuable from convertible debt of $1,154,500 for the nine months ended September 30, 2015.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
Fair Value of Financial Instruments, requires disclosure of the fair value information, whether or not recognized in the balance sheet, where it is practicable to estimate that value. As of September 30, 2015, the amounts reported for cash, inventory, prepaid expenses, accounts payable, and accrued expenses, approximate the fair value because of their short maturities.
Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. ASC Topic 820 established a three-tier fair value hierarchy which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (level 3 measurements). These tiers include:
| ● | Level 1, defined as observable inputs such as quoted prices for identical instruments in active markets; | |
| ● | Level 2, defined as inputs other than quoted prices in active markets that are either directly or indirectly observable such as quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets or quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active; and | |
| ● | Level 3, defined as unobservable inputs in which little or no market data exists, therefore requiring an entity to develop its own assumptions, such as valuations derived from valuation techniques in which one or more significant inputs or significant value drivers are unobservable. |
We measure certain financial instruments at fair value on a recurring basis. Assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis are as follows at September 30, 2015:
| Total | (Level 1) | (Level 2) | (Level 3) | ||||||||||||||
| Derivative Liability | $ | 13,250,698 | $ | - | $ | - | $ | 13,250,698 | |||||||||
| Total liabilities measured at fair value | $ | 13,250,698 | $ | - | $ | - | $ | 13,250,698 | |||||||||
The following is a reconciliation of the derivative liability for which Level 3 inputs were used in determining the approximate fair value:
| Beginning balance as of January 1, 2015 | $ | 3,320,943 | |||
| Fair value of derivative liabilities issued | 350,291 | ||||
| Loss on change in derivative liability | 9,579,464 | ||||
| Ending balance as of September 30, 2015 | $ | 13,250,698 |
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
Management does not believe that any recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting standards if currently adopted would have a material effect on the accompanying condensed financial statements.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements (Continued)
In August 2014, FASB issued ASU 2014-15, “Presentation of Financial Statements Going Concern (Subtopic 205-40) – Disclosure of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern ”. Currently, there is no guidance in U.S. GAAP about management’s responsibility to evaluate whether there is substantial doubt about an entity’s ability to continue as a going concern or to provide related footnote disclosures. The amendments in this ASU provide that guidance. In doing so, the amendments are intended to reduce diversity in the timing and content of footnote disclosures. The amendments require management to assess an entity’s ability to continue as a going concern by incorporating and expanding upon certain principles that are currently in U.S. auditing standards. Specifically, the amendments (1) provide a definition of the term substantial doubt, (2) require an evaluation every reporting period including interim periods, (3) provide principles for considering the mitigating effect of management’s plans, (4) require certain disclosures when substantial doubt is alleviated as a result of consideration of management’s plans, (5) require an express statement and other disclosures when substantial doubt is not alleviated, and (6) require an assessment for a period of one year after the date that the financial statements are issued (or available to be issued). The amendments in this ASU are effective for public and nonpublic entities for annual periods ending after December 15, 2016. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of ASU 2014-15 on the Company’s financial statements.

| 5. | CONVERTIBLE PROMISSORY NOTES |
On January 18, 2013, the Company entered into a securities purchase agreement for the sale of 10% convertible promissory note for the aggregate principal amount of $80,000, to be advanced in amounts at the lender’s discretion. Upon execution of the securities purchase agreement, the Company received an advance of $10,000. On April 16, 2013, the Company received an additional advance of $25,000. The total advances received were $35,000, of which principal in the amount of $25,000, and $2,886 in accrued interest was converted into 183,481 shares of common stock at fair value of $0.43 and $0.367 per share on September 29, 2013 and October 3, 2014. On July 6, 2015 the Company issued 735,153 shares of common stock at a fair value of $0.0133 upon conversion of principal in the amount of $8,000, plus accrued interest of $1,778, leaving a balance of $2,000. During the month of July 2013, the Company extended the maturity date of the note from six (6) months to eighteen (18) months from the effective date of each advance. The note is convertible into shares of common stock of the Company at a price equal to a variable conversion price of the lesser of a) $0.40 per share b) fifty percent (50%) of the lowest trading price of common stock recorded on any trade day after the effective date, or c) the lowest effective price per share granted after the effective date. The fair value of the notes has been determined by using Black-Scholes pricing model with an expected life of more than a year.
On March 1, 2013, the Company entered into a securities purchase agreement, providing for the sale by the Company of a 10% unsecured Convertible Note in the aggregate principal amount of $100,000, to be advanced in amounts at the lender’s discretion.

The note matured and was extended to August 28, 2015. The note is convertible into shares of common stock of the Company at a price equal to a variable conversion price of the lesser of $0.20 per share or fifty percent (50%) of the lowest trading price recorded on any trade day after the effective date. On October 2, 2014 and December 30, 2014, the lender converted $20,000 in principal, plus $11,001 of accrued interest. As of December 31, 2014, the remaining balance was $15,000. On February 25, 2015, the Company issued 325,525 shares of common stock at fair value of $0.0367 for principal in the amount of $10,000, plus accrued interest of $1,939, leaving a remaining balance of $5,000 as of March 31, 2015. On April 21, 2015, the remaining principal of $5,000, plus accrued interest of $1,071 was converted into 182,319 shares of common stock. The fair value of the note has been determined by using the Black-Scholes pricing model with an expected life of less than a year.
On May 2, 2014, the Company entered into a securities purchase agreement, providing for the sale by the Company of a 10% unsecured Convertible Note in the aggregate principal amount of $500,000, to be advanced in amounts at the lender’s discretion.

RELATED PARTY CONVERTIBLE PROMISSORY NOTES
| On June 5, 2013, the Company issued two 5% convertible promissory notes in exchange for services rendered by the Company’s Chief Executive Officer ($114,000) and Chief Technology Officer ($128,000) in the aggregate amount of $242,000. On March 5, 2014, the Company issued 694,191 upon partial conversion of principal in the amount of $55,000, plus accrued interest of $2,063, leaving a remaining balance of $187,000. On April 17, 2015, the Company issued 2,187,692 shares of common stock upon conversion of $130,000 in principal, plus $12,200 in accrued interest, leaving a balance of $57,000. The notes are convertible into shares of common stock of the Company at a conversion price equal to the lesser of $0.24 per share or the closing price per share of common stock recorded on the trading day immediately preceding the date of conversion. The notes matured two (2) years from their effective dates, and were extended on June 22, 2015 for one (1) year with a maturity date of June 5, 2016. The fair value of the notes has been determined by using the Black-Scholes pricing model with an expected life of two (2) years. The Company recorded amortization of debt discount, which was recognized as interest expense in the amount of $24,360 during the nine months ended September 30, 2015. |
| On December 18, 2014, the Company issued two 5% convertible promissory notes in exchange for services rendered by the Company’s Chief Executive Officer ($68,000) and Chief Technology Officer ($61,000) in the aggregate amount of $128,000. The notes are convertible into shares of common stock of the Company at a conversion price equal to the lesser of $0.101 per share of common stock or the closing price per share of common stock recorded on the trading day immediately preceding the date of conversion. The notes mature two (2) years from their effective dates. The fair value of the notes has been determined by using the Black-Scholes pricing model with an expected life of two (2) years. The Company recorded amortization of debt discount, which was recognized as interest expense in the amount of $35,849 during the nine months ended September 30, 2015. |
We evaluated the financing transactions in accordance with ASC Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging, and determined that the conversion feature of the convertible promissory note was not afforded the exemption for conventional convertible instruments due to its variable conversion rate. The note has no explicit limit on the number of shares issuable so they did not meet the conditions set forth in current accounting standards for equity classification. The Company elected to recognize the note under paragraph 815-15-25-4, whereby, there would be a separation into a host contract and derivative instrument. The Company elected to initially and subsequently measure the note in its entirety at fair value, with changes in fair value recognized in earnings. The Company recorded a derivative liability representing the imputed interest associated with the embedded derivative. The derivative liability is adjusted periodically according to the stock price fluctuations.
| 6. | DERIVATIVE LIABILITIES |
The convertible notes issued and described in Note 5 do not have fixed settlement provisions because their conversion prices are not fixed. The conversion feature has been characterized as derivative liabilities to be re-measured at the end of every reporting period with the change in value reported in the statement of operations.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2015, as a result of the convertible notes (“Notes”) issued that were accounted for as derivative liabilities, we determined that the fair value of the conversion feature of the convertible notes at issuance was $350,292, based upon a Black-Sholes-Model calculation. We recorded the full value of the derivative as a liability at issuance with an offset to valuation discount, which will be amortized over the life of the Notes.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2015, approximately $185,500 convertible notes were converted. As a result of the conversion of these notes and the change in fair value of the remaining notes, the Company recorded a loss in change in derivative of $9,579,464 in the statement of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2015. At September 30, 2015, the fair value of the derivative liability was $13,250,698.

ITEM 2: MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Special Note on Forward-Looking Statements.
Certain statements in “Management’s Discussion and Analysis or Plan of Operation” below, and elsewhere in this quarterly report, are not related to historical results, and are forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements present our expectations or forecasts of future events. You can identify these statements by the fact that they do not relate strictly to historical or current facts. These statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause our actual results, levels of activity, performance or achievements to be materially different from any future results, levels of activity, performance or achievements expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements frequently are accompanied by such words such as “may,” “will,” “should,” “could,” “expects,” “plans,” “intends,” “anticipates,” “believes,” “estimates,” “predicts,” “potential” or “continue,” or the negative of such terms or other words and terms of similar meaning. Although we believe that the expectations reflected in the forward-looking statements are reasonable, we cannot guarantee future results, levels of activity, performance, achievements, or timeliness of such results. Moreover, neither we nor any other person assumes responsibility for the accuracy and completeness of such forward-looking statements. We are under no duty to update any of the forward-looking statements after the date of this quarterly report. Subsequent written and oral forward looking statements attributable to us or to persons acting in our behalf are expressly qualified in their entirety by the cautionary statements and risk factors set forth in our annual report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on March 23, 2015, and in other reports filed by us with the SEC.
You should read the following description of our financial condition and results of operations in conjunction with the financial statements and accompanying notes included in this report.
Overview
We are developing innovative technologies to reduce the cost per watt of electricity produced by Photovoltaic solar modules. The process for producing electricity from sunlight is known as Photovoltaics. Photovoltaics ("PV") is the science of capturing and converting sun light into electricity.
We are currently focusing on developing a low cost energy storage solution based on our polymer-based supercapacitor technology that we believe will result in higher energy capacity, lower cost per watt, and substantially longer life of energy storage devices.
We were incorporated in the State of Nevada on April 24, 2006, as BioSolar Labs, Inc. Our name was changed to BioSolar, Inc. on June 8, 2006. Our principal executive offices are located at 27936 Lost Canyon Road, Suite 202, Santa Clarita, California 91387, and our telephone number is (661) 251-0001. Our fiscal year end is December 31.
Recent Transactions
On July 7, 2015, the Company announced that it had signed an agreement to extend the funding of its sponsored research program with the University of California, Santa Barbara.
Application of Critical Accounting Policies
Our discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based upon our financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities. On an ongoing basis, we evaluate our estimates, including those related to impairment of property, plant and equipment, intangible assets, deferred tax assets and fair value computation using the Black Scholes option pricing model. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions, such as the trading value of our common stock and estimated future undiscounted cash flows, that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying value of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions; however, we believe that our estimates, including those for the above-described items, are reasonable.
Use of Estimates
In accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, management utilizes estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements as well as the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. These estimates and assumptions relate to recording net revenue, collectability of accounts receivable, useful lives and impairment of tangible and intangible assets, accruals, income taxes, inventory realization, stock-based compensation expense and other factors. Management believes it has exercised reasonable judgment in deriving these estimates. Consequently, a change in conditions could affect these estimates.
13
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
Our cash, cash equivalents, investments, inventory, prepaid expenses, and accounts payable are stated at cost which approximates fair value due to the short-term nature of these instruments.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
In April 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-03, “Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs” as part of its initiative to reduce complexity in accounting standards (the Simplification Initiative). The Board received feedback that having different balance sheet presentation requirements for debt issuance costs and debt discount and premium creates unnecessary complexity. Recognizing debt issuance costs as a deferred charge (that is, an asset) also is different from the guidance in International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), which requires that transaction costs be deducted from the carrying value of the financial liability and not recorded as separate assets. Additionally, the requirement to recognize debt issuance costs as deferred charges conflicts with the guidance in FASB Concepts Statement No. 6, Elements of Financial Statements, which states that debt issuance costs are similar to debt discounts and in effect reduce the proceeds of borrowing, thereby increasing the effective interest rate. Concepts Statement No. 6 further states that debt issuance costs cannot be an asset because they provide no future economic benefit. To simplify presentation of debt issuance costs, the amendments in this Update require that debt issuance costs related to a recognized debt liability be presented in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of that debt liability, consistent with debt discounts. The recognition and measurement guidance for debt issuance costs are not affected by the amendments in this Update. For public business entities, the amendments in this Update are effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2015, and interim periods within those fiscal years. For all other entities, the amendments in this Update are effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2015, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016. The Company is currently evaluating the effects of adopting this ASU, if it is deemed to be applicable.
In August 2014, FASB issued ASU 2014-15, “Presentation of Financial Statements Going Concern (Subtopic 205-40) – Disclosure of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern ”. Currently, there is no guidance in U.S. GAAP about management’s responsibility to evaluate whether there is substantial doubt about an entity’s ability to continue as a going concern or to provide related footnote disclosures. The amendments in this ASU provide that guidance. In doing so, the amendments are intended to reduce diversity in the timing and content of footnote disclosures. The amendments require management to assess an entity’s ability to continue as a going concern by incorporating and expanding upon certain principles that are currently in U.S. auditing standards. Specifically, the amendments (1) provide a definition of the term substantial doubt, (2) require an evaluation every reporting period including interim periods, (3) provide principles for considering the mitigating effect of management’s plans, (4) require certain disclosures when substantial doubt is alleviated as a result of consideration of management’s plans, (5) require an express statement and other disclosures when substantial doubt is not alleviated, and (6) require an assessment for a period of one year after the date that the financial statements are issued (or available to be issued). The amendments in this ASU are effective for public and nonpublic entities for annual periods ending after December 15, 2016. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of ASU 2014-15 on the Company’s financial statements.
Management reviewed currently issued pronouncements during the nine months ended September 30, 2015, and does not believe that any other recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting standards if currently adopted would have a material effect on the accompanying condensed financial statements.

Research and Development (“R&D”) expenses increased by $40,577 to $75,481 for the three months ended September 30, 2015, compared to $34,904 for the prior period ended September 30, 2014. This overall increase in R&D expenses was the result of developing technologies and materials for storing electrical energy produced by photovoltaic solar modules.
14
Other Income/(Expenses)
Other income and (expenses) decreased by $8,212,540 to $7,537,380 for the three months ended September 30, 2015, compared to $(675,160) for the prior period ended September 30, 2014. The decrease was the result of a decrease in non-cash loss on change in fair value of the derivative instruments of $8,326,053, with an increase in interest expense in the amount of $24,193, amortization of debt discount in the amount of $99,189, gain on sale of asset of $9,862, and an increase in interest income of $7. The decrease in other income and (expenses) was primarily due to the net change in the fair value of the derivative instruments.
Net Loss
Our net loss decreased by $8,173,164 to $7,328,964 for the three months ended September 30, 2015, compared to $(844,199) for the prior period ended September 30, 2014. The decrease in net loss was due to a decrease in non-cash other income (expenses) associated with the net change in derivatives, and an overall decrease in operating expenses. The Company has not generated any revenues.
Results of Operations – Nine Months Ended September 30, 2015 Compared to the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2014
OPERATING EXPENSES
General and Administrative Expenses
General and administrative (“G&A”) expenses decreased by $15,161 to $385,477 for the nine months ended September 30, 2015, compared to $400,638 for the prior period September 30, 2014. This decrease in G&A expenses was the result of a decrease in salaries of $26,400, and professional fees of $10,341, with an increase in non-cash stock compensation of $11,199, public relations of $8,425 an overall increase of $17,117 in other G&A expenses.
Research and Development
Research and Development (“R&D”) expenses increased by $111,353 to $146,257 for the nine months ended September 30, 2015, compared to $34,904 for the prior period ended September 30, 2014. This overall increase in R&D expenses was the result of developing technologies and materials for storing electrical energy produced by Photovoltaic solar modules.
Other Income/(Expenses)
Other income and (expenses) increased by $9,106,367 to $(9,990,350) for the nine months ended September 30, 2015, compared to $(883,983) for the prior period ended September 30, 2014. The increase was the result of an increase in non-cash loss on change in fair value of the derivative instruments of $8,900,413, interest expense in the amount of $53,103, amortization of debt discount in the amount of $162,720, gain on sale of asset of $9,862 and interest income of $7. The increase in other income and (expenses) was primarily due to the Company entering into debt financing through the issuance of convertible promissory notes.
Net Loss
Our net loss increased by $9,202,987 to $10,528,388 for the nine months ended September 30, 2015, compared to $1,325,401 for the prior period ended September 30, 2014. The increase in net loss was due to an increase in non-cash other income (expenses) associated with the net change in derivatives, and an overall decrease in operating expenses. The Company has not generated any revenues.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Liquidity is the ability of a company to generate funds to support its current and future operations, satisfy its obligations, and otherwise operate on an ongoing basis. Significant factors in the management of liquidity are funds generated by operations, levels of accounts receivable and accounts payable and capital expenditures.
The condensed financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis of accounting, which contemplates continuity of operations, realization of assets and liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business. The accompanying condensed financial statements do not reflect any adjustments that might result if we are unable to continue as a going concern. During the nine months ended September 30, 2015, we did not generate any revenues, incurred a net loss of $10,528,388 and cash used in operations of $500,737. As of September 30, 2015, we had a working capital deficiency of $13,962,500 and a shareholders’ deficit of $13,853,921. These factors, among others raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. Our independent auditors, in their report on our audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2014 expressed substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. Our ability to continue as a going concern and suitability of using the going concern basis is dependent upon, among other things, additional cash infusion. In the nine months ended September 30, 2015 we obtained funding through the sale of our securities. Management believes that we will be able to continue to raise funds through the sale of our securities to existing and new investors. Management believes that funding from existing and prospective new investors, and future revenue will provide the additional cash needed to meet our obligations as they become due, and will allow the development of our core business operations.
15
As of September 30, 2015, we had a working capital deficit of $13,962,500 compared to capital deficit of $3,703,333 for the year ended December 31, 2014. This increase in capital deficit of $16,229,320 was due primarily to an increase in cash, accounts payable, accrued expenses, the issuance of convertible promissory notes, and the derivative liability associated with the notes, with a decrease in prepaid expenses.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2015, we raised an aggregate of $500,000 in an offering of unsecured convertible notes. Our ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon raising capital from financing transactions and future revenue.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2015, we used $500,737 of cash for operating activities, as compared to $340,324 for the prior period ended September 30, 2014. The increase of $160,413 in the use of cash for operating activities was primarily due to an increase in non-cash net change in derivative liability, amortization of debt discount, and stock compensation, plus an increase in prepaid expense, and accounts payable, with an overall decrease in accrued expenses.
Cash provided in investing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 was $13,277, as compared to cash used of $34,679 for the prior period ended September 30, 2014. The overall net change in investing activities was primarily due to the proceeds received for the sale of a piece of equipment in the current period that is no longer needed by the Company .
Cash provided from financing activities was $500,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2015, as compared to $315,000 for the prior period ended September 30, 2014. Our capital needs have primarily been met from the proceeds of private placements, as we currently have not generated any revenues.
We have a material commitment for capital expenditures in the form of a sponsored research agreement with University of California Santa Barbara during the next 9 months. Although proceeds from our financing activities are currently sufficient to fund our operating expenses through the next four months, we will need to raise additional funds in the future so that we can expand our operations. Therefore, our future operations are dependent on our ability to secure additional financing. Financing transactions may include the issuance of equity or debt securities, obtaining credit facilities, or other financing mechanisms. However, the trading price of our common stock and a downturn in the U.S. equity and debt markets could make it more difficult to obtain financing through the issuance of equity or debt securities. Even if we are able to raise the funds required, it is possible that we could incur unexpected costs and expenses, or experience unexpected cash requirements that would force us to seek additional financing. Furthermore, if we issue additional equity or debt securities, stockholders may experience additional dilution or the new equity securities may have rights, preferences or privileges senior to those of existing holders of our common stock. The inability to obtain additional capital may restrict our ability to grow and may reduce our ability to continue to conduct business operations. If we are unable to obtain additional financing, we may have to curtail our marketing and development plans and possibly cease our operations.
We believe that we have assets to ensure that we can continue to operate without liquidation over the next four months, due to our cash on hand, and our ability in the past to raise money from our investor base. Based on the aforesaid, we believe we have the ability to continue our operations for the next twelve months and will be able to realize assets and discharge liabilities in the normal course of our operations.
Our financial statements as of September 30, 2015 have been prepared under the assumption that we will continue as a going concern. Our independent registered public accounting firm has issued their report dated March 23, 2015 that included an explanatory paragraph expressing substantial doubt in our ability to continue as a going concern without additional capital becoming available. Our ability to continue as a going concern ultimately is dependent upon our ability to generate revenue, which is dependent upon our ability to obtain additional equity or debt financing, attain further operating efficiencies and, ultimately, to achieve profitable operations. Our financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
PLAN OF OPERATION AND FINANCING NEEDS
We are engaged in the development of innovative technologies that will reduce the cost per watt of electricity generated by Photovoltaic solar modules. We have developed BioBacksheetTM, our first commercially available product, and we are currently focusing on developing by 2016, a low cost electrical energy storage technology that enables higher power, higher energy density, and longer life electrical energy storage.
16
Our plan of operation within the next six months is to utilize our cash balances to further develop and improve our polymer-based energy storage technology and components for photovoltaic energy storage. We believe that our current cash and investment balances will be sufficient to support development activity and general and administrative expenses for the next four months. Management estimates that it will require additional cash resources during 2015, based upon its current operating plan and condition. We will be investigating additional financing alternatives, including equity and/or debt financing. There is no assurance that capital in any form would be available to us, and if available, on terms and conditions that are acceptable. If we are unable to obtain sufficient funds during the next fifteen months, we may be forced to reduce the size of our organization, which could have a material adverse impact on, or cause us to curtail and/or cease the development of our products.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We do not have any off balance sheet arrangements that are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, revenues, result of operations, liquidity or capital expenditures.
