NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(UNAUDITED)

 

NOTE 1 – Basis of Presentation and Organization

 

Basis of Presentation

 

The accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements of SolarWindow Technologies, Inc. (the “Company”) as of November 30, 2020, and for the three months ended November 30, 2020 and 2019 have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“U.S.”) of America, or U.S. GAAP, for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 8 of Regulation S-X. Certain information or footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted.

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results may differ from those estimates. The interim consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended August 31, 2020. The accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the same basis as the audited financial statements and include all adjustments (including normal recurring adjustments) necessary for the fair presentation of the Company’s consolidated financial position as of November 30, 2020, results of operations, stockholders’ equity and cash flows for the three months ended November 30, 2020 and 2019. The Company did not record an income tax provision during the periods presented due to net taxable losses. The results of operations for any interim period are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations for the entire year.

 

Organization

 

SolarWindow Technologies, Inc. was incorporated in the State of Nevada on May 5, 1998. Products derived from the Company’s SolarWindow™ technology harvest light energy from the sun and from artificial light sources, by generating electricity from a transparent coating of organic photovoltaic (“OPV”) solar cells, applied to glass and plastics, thereby creating a “photovoltaic” effect. The Company’s ticker symbol is WNDW.

 

Liquidity and Management’s Plan

 

The Company does not have any commercialized products, has not generated any revenue since inception and has sustained recurring losses and negative cash flows from operations since inception. Due to the “start-up” nature of our business, we expect to incur losses as we continue development of our products and technologies. As of November 30, 2020, the Company had $13,549,510 of cash and cash equivalents and short term investments on hand and working capital of $13,897,863. The Company believes that it currently has sufficient cash to meet its funding requirements over the next twelve months following the issuance of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. However, the Company has experienced and continues to experience negative cash flows from operations, as well as an ongoing requirement for substantial additional capital investment. The Company expects that it may need to raise additional capital to accomplish its business plan. If additional funding is required, the Company expects to seek to obtain that funding through financial or strategic investors. There can be no assurance as to the availability or terms upon which such financing and capital might be available.

 

NOTE 2 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

 

Information regarding the Company’s significant accounting policies is contained in Note 2, “Summary of significant accounting policies,” to the consolidated financial statements in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended August 31, 2020. Presented below and in the following notes is supplemental information that should be read in conjunction with “Notes to Financial Statements” in the Annual Report.

 

  6  

 

Fiscal quarter

 

The Company’s quarterly periods end on November 30, February 28, May 31, and August 31. The Company’s first quarter in fiscal 2021 and 2020 ended on November 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively.

 

Principles of consolidation

 

On August 24, 2020, the Company formed wholly owned SolarWindow Asia (USA) Corp. as the holding company for SolarWindow Asia Co. Ltd., a company formed in the Republic of Korea for the purpose of expansion into the Asian markets. As of August 31, 2020, the Company had not capitalized the Korean subsidiaries and there were no transactions related to these entities during the year ended August 31, 2020. During our fiscal quarter ended November 30, 2020, the Company capitalized SolarWindow Asia Co. Ltd. with a transfer of $831,000.

 

These consolidated financial statements presented are those of SolarWindow Technologies, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiaries, SolarWindow Asia (USA) Corp., and SolarWindow Asia Co. Ltd. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated.

 

Use of estimates

 

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the accounting period. The Company considers its accounting policies relating to stock based compensation to be the most significant accounting policy that involves management estimates and judgments. The Company has made accounting estimates based on the facts and circumstances available as of the reporting date. Actual amounts could differ from these estimates, and such differences could be material.

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents

 

Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand and highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less from the date of purchase.

 

    November 30, 2020   August 31, 2020
Cash and cash equivalents     8,549,510       14,151,523  
Short-term investment     5,000,000       -  
Cash and cash equivalents     13,549,510       14,151,523  

 

Short-term investments

 

The Company determines the balance sheet classification of its investments at the time of purchase and evaluates the classification at each balance sheet date. Money market funds, certificates of deposit, and time deposits with maturities of greater than three months but no more than twelve months are carried at cost, which approximates fair value and are recorded in the consolidated balance sheets in short-term investments. As of November 30, 2020, the short-term investment consists of a fixed-term deposit with a twelve month maturity at the time of purchase on October 1, 2020.

 

Recent accounting pronouncements not yet adopted

 

In December 2019, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2019-12, Income Taxes – Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes. The guidance removes certain exceptions for recognizing deferred taxes for equity method investments, performing intra period allocation, and calculating income taxes in interim periods. The ASU also adds guidance to reduce complexity in certain areas, including recognizing deferred taxes for goodwill and allocating taxes to members of a consolidated group, among others. This guidance is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2020. Early adoption of the standard is permitted, including adoption in interim or annual periods for which financial statements have not yet been issued. The transition requirements are dependent upon each amendment within this update and will be applied either prospectively or retrospectively. The adoption of ASU 2019-12 is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.

 

  7  

 

Recently adopted accounting pronouncements

 

The Company reviews new accounting standards as issued. Although some of these accounting standards issued or effective after the end of the Company’s previous fiscal year may be applicable, the Company has not identified any standards that the Company believes merit further discussion. The Company believes that none of the new standards will have a significant impact on the consolidated financial statements.

 

NOTE 3 – Property and Equipment

 

Property and equipment consists of the following:

Accumulated depreciation     (88,498 )     (93,323 )

As a result of the closure of the Vestal New York office, during the three months ended November 30, 2020, the Company disposed of office equipment, computers and furniture with an historical cost totaling $21,543 and net book value of 10,936. The Company received $2,161 of proceeds from the sale of the assets resulting in a loss of $8,775.

NOTE 5 - Stock Options

 

Stockholders previously approved 15,000,000 shares for grant under the 2006 Plan. The 2006 Plan was adopted in order to attract and retain the best available personnel for positions of substantial authority and to provide additional incentive to employees and directors to promote the success of the Company’s business. The 2006 Plan provides for the grant of incentive stock options, non-qualified stock options, restricted stock, restricted stock units, stock appreciation rights, and other types of awards to employees, consultants, and directors. Stock option grants pursuant to the 2006 Plan vest either immediately or over zero to five years and expire from six to ten years after the date of grant with the exercise price equal to the fair value of the underlying stock on the date of grant. All shares approved for grant and subsequently forfeited are available for future grant. The Company does not repurchase shares to fulfill the requirements of options that are exercised and therefore issues new shares when options are exercised. The 2006 Plan was approved by stockholders on February 7, 2011 and expires according to its terms on February 7, 2021.

 

The Company measures share-based compensation cost on the grant date, based on the fair value of the award, and recognizes the expense on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period for awards expected to vest. The Company estimated the grant date fair value of stock options using a Black-Scholes valuation model using the following weighted-average assumptions:

 

    Three Months Ended November 30,
    2020   2019
Expected dividend yield            
Expected stock price volatility     89.44%     82.94 86.23%
Risk-free interest rate     0.19%     1.40 1.69%
Expected term (in years)(simplified method)     4.00     4.5 5.75
Exercise price     $3.42     $2.32 and $3.54
Weighted-average grant date fair-value     $2.16     $1.61 and $1.55

    Number of Shares Subject to Option Grants   Weighted Average Exercise Price ($)   Weighted Average Remaining Contractual Term (years)   Aggregate Intrinsic Value ($)
Outstanding at August 31, 2019     2,777,334       4.31                  
Grants     5,158,000       4.06                  
Forfeitures and cancellations     (130,600 )     3.54                  
Outstanding at August 31, 2020     7,804,734       4.16                  
Grants     50,000       3.42                  
Forfeitures and cancellations     (37,500 )     3.54                  
Outstanding at  November 30, 2020     7,817,234       4.16       5.29       27,557,385  
Exercisable at  November 30, 2020     3,956,434       3.66       6.30       15,789,872  

 

The aggregate intrinsic value in the table above represents the total pretax intrinsic value for all “in-the-money” options (i.e. the difference between the Company’s closing stock price on the last trading day of the period covered by this report and the exercise price, multiplied by the number of shares) that would have been received by the option holders had all in-the-money option holders exercised their vested options on November 30, 2020. The intrinsic value of the option changes based upon the fair market value of the Company’s common stock. Since the closing stock price was $7.65 on November 30, 2020 and 6,386,567 outstanding options have an exercise price below $7.65 per share, as of November 30, 2020, there is $25,886,685 and $14,070,872 of intrinsic value to the totality of the Company’s outstanding stock options and vested options, respectively.

 

Three Months Ended November 30, 2020

 

On October 19, the Company’s Board granted 50,000 options to Joseph Sierchio, Director, with an exercise price of $3.42, exercisable on a cashless basis any time prior to the Company’s listing of any of its securities for trading on a national stock exchange, six year term and vesting at the rate of 12,500 on the date of grant and 12,500 each anniversary thereafter.

 

Three Months Ended November 30, 2019

 

On October 9, 2019, the Company granted 153,000 options to an employee with a ten-year term, exercise price of $2.32 per share and vesting at the rate of 1/36th per month. Additionally, on September 16, 2019, the Board granted 5,000 options with a six-year term to a consultant with an exercise price of $3.54 per share and vesting at the rate of 1/20th per quarter.

 

The following table sets forth the share-based compensation cost resulting from stock option grants, including those previously granted and vesting over time, that were recorded in the Company’s Statements of Operations for the three months ended November 30, 2020 and 2019:

COVID-19

 

In December 2019, an outbreak of the COVID-19 virus was reported in Wuhan, China. On March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization declared the COVID-19 virus a global pandemic and on March 13, 2020, President Donald J. Trump declared the virus a national emergency in the United States. This highly contagious disease has spread to most of the countries in the world and throughout the United States, creating a serious impact on customers, workforces and suppliers, disrupting economies and financial markets, and potentially leading to a world-wide economic downturn. It has caused a disruption of the normal operations of many businesses, including the temporary closure or scale-back of business operations and/or the imposition of either quarantine or remote work or meeting requirements for employees, either by government order or on a voluntary basis. The pandemic may adversely affect our operations, our employees and our employee productivity. It may also impact the ability of our subcontractors, partners, and suppliers to operate and fulfill their contractual obligations, and result in an increase in costs, delays or disruptions in performance. Our employees are working remotely and using various technologies to perform their functions. In reaction to the spread of COVID-19 in the United States, many businesses have instituted social distancing policies, including the closure of offices and worksites and deferring planned business activity. The disruption and volatility in the global and domestic capital markets may increase the cost of capital and limit our ability to access capital. Both the health and economic aspects of the COVID-19 virus are highly fluid and the future course of each is uncertain. For these reasons and other reasons that may come to light if the coronavirus pandemic and associated protective or preventative measures expand, we may experience a material adverse effect on our business operations, revenues and financial condition; however, its ultimate impact is highly uncertain and subject to change.

 

NOTE 9 - Net Income (Loss) Per Share

 

The computation of basic earnings per share (“EPS”) is based on the weighted average number of shares that were outstanding during the period, including shares of common stock that are issuable at the end of the reporting period. The computation of diluted EPS is based on the number of basic weighted-average shares outstanding plus the number of common shares that would be issued assuming the exercise of all potentially dilutive common shares outstanding using the treasury stock method. The computation of diluted net income per share does not assume conversion, exercise or contingent issuance of securities that would have an antidilutive effect on earnings per share. Therefore, when calculating EPS if the Company experienced a loss, there is no inclusion of dilutive securities as their inclusion in the EPS calculation is antidilutive. Furthermore, options and warrants will have a dilutive effect under the treasury stock method only when the average market price of the common stock during the period exceeds the exercise price of the options or warrants (they are in the money).

 

  13  

 

Following is the computation of basic and diluted net loss per share for the three months ended November 30, 2020 and 2019:

 

    Three Months Ended November 30,
    2020   2019
Basic and Diluted EPS Computation                
Numerator:                
Loss available to common stockholders'   $ (2,537,035 )   $ (1,105,278 )
Denominator:                
Weighted average number of common shares outstanding     52,959,323       52,959,323  
Basic and diluted EPS   $ (0.05 )   $ (0.02 )
                 
The shares listed below were not included in the computation of diluted losses per share because to do so would have been antidilutive for the periods presented:                
Stock options     7,817,234       2,935,334  
Warrants     19,483,517       19,483,517  
Total shares not included in the computation of diluted losses per share     27,300,751       22,418,851

Overview

 

SolarWindow Technologies, Inc. is a developer of transparent electricity-generating coatings (“LiquidElectricity™ Coatings”). When applied in ultra-thin layers to rigid glass, and flexible glass and plastic surfaces our LiquidElectricity™ Coatings transform otherwise ordinary surfaces into photovoltaic devices capable of generating electricity from natural sun, artificial light, and low, shaded, or reflected light conditions while maintaining transparency.

 

We have overcome major technical challenges and achieved many important milestones resulting in an expansion of the potential applications of LiquidElectricity™ Coatings. Potential applications of LiquidElectricity™ Coatings span multiple industries, including architectural, automotive, agrivoltaic, aerospace, commercial transportation and marine. Our LiquidElectricity™ Coatings and SolarWindow™ products are under development with support from commercial contract firms and at the U.S. Department of Energy’s National Renewable Energy Laboratory, through Cooperative Research and Development Agreements.

 

  15  

 

Research and Related Agreements

 

We are a party to certain agreements related to the development of our SolarWindow™ technology.

 

Stevenson-Wydler Cooperative Research and Development Agreement with the Alliance for Sustainable Energy

 

On March 18, 2011, we entered into the NREL CRADA with Alliance for Sustainable Energy, the operator of the NREL under its U.S. Department of Energy contract to advance the commercial development of the SolarWindow™ technology. Under terms of the NREL CRADA, NREL researchers make use of our exclusive intellectual property (“IP”), newly developed IP, and NREL’s background IP in order to work towards specific product development goals, established by the Company. Under the terms of the NREL CRADA, we agreed to reimburse Alliance for Sustainable Energy for filing fees associated with all documented, out-of-pocket costs directly related to patent application preparation and filings, and maintenance of the patent applications.

 

On March 6, 2013, we entered into Phase II of our NREL CRADA. Under the terms of the agreement, researchers will additionally work towards:

 

· further improving SolarWindow™ technology efficiency and transparency;

 

· optimizing electrical power (current and voltage) output;

 

· optimizing the application of the active layer coatings which make it possible for SolarWindow™ coatings to generate electricity on glass surfaces;

 

· developing improved electricity-generating coatings by enhancing performance, processing, reliability, and durability;

 

· optimizing SolarWindow™ coating performance on flexible substrates; and

 

· developing high speed and large area roll-to-roll (R2R) and sheet-to-sheet (S2S) coating methods required for commercial-scale building integrated photovoltaic (“BIPV”) products and windows.

 

On December 28, 2015, we entered into another modification to the NREL CRADA (the “Modification”). Under the Modification, (i) the date of completion was extended to December 2019; and (ii) the Company and the NREL will work jointly towards achieving specific product development goals and objectives for the purpose of preparing to commercialize our OPV-based SolarWindow™ transparent electricity-generating coatings for various applications, including BIPV, glass and flexible plastics.

 

Over the course of our collaborative research and development efforts with the NREL under the CRADA, both parties have agreed to modifications to extend the date of completion. The Company and NREL have entered into eight such No Cost Time Extensions (“NCTE”). Under the terms of each NCTE, all terms and conditions of the NREL CRADA remain in full force and effect without change. The current NCTE was executed on September 15, 2020 and extends the date of completion to December 31, 2021. As of November 30, 2020, the Company had a capitalized asset balance of $463,614 related to deferred research and development costs for advances to Alliance for Sustainable Energy for work to be performed under the NREL CRADA.

 

U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy’s (EERE) Advanced Manufacturing Office (AMO) Cooperative Research and Development Agreement

 

On March 15, 2018 the Company was awarded its first-ever AMM CRADA by the DOE EERE AMO. SolarWindow was awarded the AMM CRADA after submitting a proposal outlining its coating technologies and fabrication methods to the DOE’s Roll-to-Roll Advanced Materials Manufacturing Consortium, led by ORNL and partnering with ANL, LBNL, and NREL. The AMM CRADA will be carried out with the DOE by SolarWindow, ANL, and NREL.

 

On September 15, 2020, we entered into NCTE that extends the date of completion to December 31, 2021 pursuant to which researchers work towards specific product development goals outlined in the AMM CRADA.

 

  16  

 

Through the developments of AMM CRADA, the Company accomplished initiatives to improve and optimize its laser patterning system and methods of fabrication for our electricity-generating coatings on flexible plastics. Once optimized for industry, this advancement is expected to reduce process time, improve device performance, and reduce costs of SolarWindow™ electricity-generating plastic products. Another objective of the AMM CRADA is to develop and demonstrate a unique high-throughput process methodology for semitransparent OPV modules compatible with high process speeds for many different advanced material manufacturing systems.

 

Results of Operations

 

Our quarterly periods end on November 30, February 28, May 31, and August 31. Our operating results for the fiscal quarter ended November 30, 2020 may not be indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year ending August 31, 2021 because of the COVID-19 pandemic and other potential beneficial or detrimental unforeseen occurrences. In addition, our quarterly results of operations have varied in the past and are likely to do so again in the future. As such, we believe that period-to-period comparisons of our results of operations should not be relied upon as an indication of our future performance.

 

The following table presents the components of our consolidated results of operations for the periods indicated:

 

    Three Months Ended   2021 compared to 2020
    November 30,   Increase /   Percentage
    2020   2019   (Decrease)   Change
Operating expenses:                                
Selling, general & administrative   $ 465,961     $ 448,562     $ 17,399       4 %
Research and development     243,156       330,249       (87,093 )     -26 %
Stock compensation     1,838,532       420,970       1,417,562       337 %
Total Operating expense   $ 2,547,649     $ 1,199,781     $ 1,347,868       112 %

 

Comparison of the three months ended November 30, 2020 to the three months ended November 30, 2019

 

Selling, General and Administrative

 

Selling, general and administrative (“SG&A”) costs include all expenditures incurred other than research and development related costs, including costs related to personnel, professional fees, travel and entertainment, public company costs, insurance and other office related costs. During the three months ended November 30, 2020 compared to the three months ended November 30, 2019, SG&A costs increased due primarily to a $92,000 increase in personnel costs and $69,459 increase in other administrative costs offset by a decrease of $144,061 in professional fees.

 

Research and Development

 

Research and Development (“R&D”) costs represent costs incurred to develop our SolarWindow™ technology and are incurred pursuant to our research agreements and agreements with other third-party providers and certain internal R&D cost allocations. Payments under these agreements include salaries and benefits for R&D personnel, allocated overhead, contract services and other costs. R&D costs are expensed when incurred, except for non-refundable advance payments for future research and development activities which are capitalized and recognized as expense as the related services are performed. During the three months ended November 30, 2020 compared to the three months ended November 30, 2019, R&D costs decreased as a result of a $51,177 decrease in CRADA costs and $42,502 decrease in other R&D related costs offset by a $6,587 increase in personnel costs.

 

  17  

 

Stock Based Compensation

 

The Company grants stock options to its Directors, employees and consultants. Stock compensation represents the expense associated with the amortization of our stock options. Expense associated with equity-based transactions is calculated and expensed in our financial statements as required pursuant to various accounting rules and is non-cash in nature. Stock based compensation expense increased due primarily to the Company entering into an Executive Consulting Agreement with each of Mr. Jatinder S. Bhogal, President and CEO and Mr. John Rhee, Director, pursuant to which each party was granted 2,500,000 stock purchase options in the fourth quarter of last fiscal year.

Other income (expense)                        
Interest income   $ 19,389     $ 94,503       (75,114 )

Total other income (expense)   $ 21,228     $ 189,006     $ 17,550  

 

Interest income relates to the interest earned on our cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments. We experienced a decrease over the prior year due to a decrease in the rate of interest earned. The loss on disposal of fixed assets relates to the closing of the Vestal, New York office and related disposal of office equipment and furniture.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

Our primary cash needs are for personnel, professional and development related fees and insurance. Our principal sources of liquidity are cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments. As of November 30, 2020 and August 31, 2020, we had cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments of $13,549,510 and $14,151,523, respectively. We have financed our operations primarily from the sale of equity and debt securities. We expect the cost of funding the South Korea office to be approximately $850,000 over the twelve months ending August 31, 2021.

 

The following table presents a summary of our cash flows for the periods indicated:

 

    Three Months Ended

  2021
compared to
    2020   2019   2020
Net cash used in operating activities   $ (579,314 )   $ (648,468 )   $ 69,154  
Net cash used in investing activities     (5,025,565 )     (5,031 )     (5,020,534 )
Effect of exchange rate changes on cash and cash equivalents     2,866               2,866  
Net (decrease) in cash and cash equivalents   $ (5,602,013 )   $ (653,499 )   $ (4,948,514 )

 

Operating Activities

 

Operating activities consist of net loss adjusted for certain non-cash items, including depreciation, non-cash lease expense, stock-based compensation expense, realized gains or losses on disposal of property and equipment, and the effect of working capital changes. The decrease over the prior period is mainly due to the increase in net loss, and the timing of accounts payable. The increase in net loss was primarily due to an increase in stock based compensation resulting from the grant of options to our CEO and South Korean subsidiary President, and higher personnel and SG&A costs partially offset by a decrease in professional fees.

 

  18  

 

Investing Activities

 

We have used cash primarily for short-term investments, investments in property and equipment, and, to a lesser extent, for the purchase of furniture and office equipment, including computers and software. Net investment activities for capital expenditures were $25,565 during the three months ended November 30, 2020, compared to $5,031 during the three months ended November 30, 2019. Also, during the three months ended November 30, 2020, we purchased a twelve month term deposit in the amount of $5,000,000.

 

Indebtedness

 

None.

 

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

 

We have no off-balance sheet arrangements.

 

Other Contractual Obligations

 

In September 2020, the Company, through its wholly owned subsidiaries, SolarWindow Asia (USA) Corp. and SolarWindow Asia Co., Ltd., entered a lease for office space in South Korea. The lease has a term of one year from September 23, 2020 through September 23, 2021 with monthly payments of approximately $1,200.

 

During fiscal 2019 the Company made payments totaling $1,292,655 towards the purchase of manufacturing equipment with an estimated total cost of $1,803,000. The remaining $510,345 will be paid upon the completion of the equipment once the final specifications have been determined pending optimization of the Company’s product iteration specific to this equipment.

Critical Accounting Policies and Significant Judgments’ and Use of Estimates

 

Management’s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations is based upon our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. The preparation of these consolidated financial statements required the use of estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of our assets, liabilities, and expenses. Management bases estimates on historical experience and other assumptions it believes to be reasonable under the circumstances and evaluates these estimates on an on-going basis. Actual results may differ from these estimates. There have been no significant changes to the critical accounting policies and estimates included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended August 31, 2020.

In consideration of the mutual promises and covenants made herein and the mutual benefits to be derived here from, the parties hereto agree as follows:

 

1.   Option Information.

 

(a)  Date of Option:   October 19, 2020 (the “Grant Date”)

(b)       Pursuant to Participant’s appointment to the Board, the Company agreed to issue Participant a stock option to purchase up to 50,000 shares (the “Option Shares”) of the Company’s Common Stock (the “Common Stock”) subject to certain terms and conditions, which terms and conditions Participant acknowledges and agrees have been included in this Agreement.

 

(d)      Accordingly, the Board has authorized and granted to Participant this non-statutory stock option (“Option”), pursuant to the Company’s 2006 Incentive Stock Plan (the “Plan”), to purchase up to 50,000 shares of common stock of the Company (“Common Stock”) upon the terms and conditions hereinafter stated and pursuant to exemptions from registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”).

 

  1  

 

3.   Exercise Price.   Participant has the right to purchase, upon and subject to the terms and conditions herein stated, the Option Shares, to the extent vested, for the per Option Share purchase price of $3.42, the closing price of shares of Common Stock on the OTC Market Pink Sheets on the Grant Date (“Per Share Exercise Price”).

 

4.   Term of Option.  The term of the Option (the “Term”) shall commence on the Grant Date and shall expire, and all rights hereunder to purchase the Option Shares shall terminate, on the six-year anniversary date of the Grant Date (the “Option Expiration Date”). Nothing contained herein shall be construed to interfere in any way with the right of the Company to terminate Participant as counsel to the Company or remove him as a member of the Board, or to increase or decrease the compensation paid to Participant from the rate in effect as of the date hereof.

 

5.        Vesting; Exercise; and Payment of the Aggregate Exercise Price.

 

5.1 Vesting. The Option vest as set forth in Section 1(c) above.

 

5.2 Exercise. Subject to the further provisions of this Agreement, the Option, to the extent that all or a portion of the Option has vested, may be exercised as to such vested amount, in whole or in part and from time to time, during the Term, by delivery to the Company of a written or electronic notice, substantially in the form of Exhibit A hereto (the “Exercise Notice”), stating the number of whole Option Shares to be purchased; the Exercise Notice shall be accompanied by payment of the Aggregate Exercise Price of the Option Shares to be purchased. For purposes of this Agreement, the term “Aggregate Exercise Price” shall mean the dollar amount obtained by multiplying (i) the Per Share Exercise Price by (ii) the number of Option Shares being purchased.

 

5.3 Payment of Aggregate Exercise Price.

 

5.3.1 The Aggregate Exercise Price of the Option Shares shall be paid:

 

(i) in cash or by certified check or bank draft payable to the order of the Company; or

 

(ii) to the extent permitted by applicable law, through a broker-assisted cashless exercise by delivering, along with a properly executed exercise notice to the Company, a copy of irrevocable instructions to a broker to deliver promptly to the Company the aggregate exercise price and, if requested by the Participant, the amount of any applicable federal, state, local or foreign withholding taxes required to be withheld by the Company, provided, however, that such exercise may be implemented solely under a program or arrangement established and approved by the Company with a brokerage firm selected by the Company;

 

(iii) at any time prior to the Company’s listing of any of its securities for trading on a “national stock exchange,” pursuant to “a net issue” or “cashless” exercise pursuant to Section 5.3.2 below; or,

 

  2  

 

(iv) by any other method approved by the Board or its Compensation Committee, if any, or

 

(v) by a combination of the foregoing.

 

5.3.2 Subject to the provisions of Section 3(b) (iii) above, in lieu of exercising the Option pursuant to Section 5.3.1 (i) and (ii) above the Participant may elect to receive Option Shares equal to the value of the Option (or portion thereof being exercised) by delivery of the Exercise Notice together with this Agreement to the Company, in which event the Company shall issue to the Participant a number of Option Shares computed using the following formula:

 

Y (A-B)

X = ———————

A

Where:

 

X =        the number of the Option Shares to be issued to the Participant;

 

Y =        the number of the vested Option Shares purchasable under the Option or if only a portion of the Option is being exercise, the portion being exercised;

 

A =        the fair market value of one share of the Company’s common stock on the date prior to the date of exercise; and

 

B =        the per share Exercise Price (as adjusted to the date of such calculation). 

 

For purposes of this Section 5.3.2, the “per share fair market value” of the Option Shares shall mean:

 

(i) If the Company’s Common Stock is publicly traded, the per share fair market value of the Option Shares shall be the closing price of the Common Stock as quoted on the OTC Market Group’s Pink Sheets, or on such other exchange or trading platform on which the Company’s Common Stock may then be listed or quoted for trading, on the trading day immediately preceding the date of exercise;

 

(ii) If the Company’s Common Stock is not so publicly traded, the per share fair market value of the Option Shares shall be such fair market value as is determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of the Company after taking into consideration factors it deems appropriate, including, without limitation, recent sale and offer prices of the capital stock of the Company in private transactions negotiated at arm’s length.

 

6.       Acceleration of Vesting and Modifications.

 

6.1 Generally. Subject to the terms and conditions and within the limitations of the Plan and Section 18, the Board may modify the Option, or, once an Option is exercisable, accelerate the rate at which it may be exercised, and may extend or renew outstanding Option granted under the Plan or accept the surrender of outstanding the Option (to the extent not theretofore exercised) and authorize the granting of new Option in substitution for such Option, provided such action is permissible under Section 422 of the Code and the Nevada and United States federal securities laws, regulations and rules. However, no modification of the Option shall, without the consent of the Participant, alter to the Participant’s detriment or impair any rights or obligations under any Option theretofore granted under the Plan.

 

  3  

 

6.2 Acceleration upon Change in Control. Without limiting the generality of Section 6.1, in the event that, following a Change of Control (as defined below), the ESCA is terminated without Cause (as defined below) or not for Poor Performance (as defined below) on or prior to the tree-year anniversary of the Grant Date, then all unvested stock options hereunder, regardless of date or condition of vesting, shall vest as of the date of such termination. If, upon the Change of Control, (i) the Company shall cease to be a stand-alone publicly traded entity, or (ii) the acquiring entity is unwilling to assume the equity in an economically equivalent manner, then in either event, all equity shall be deemed to have vested two (2) days prior to the Change of Control, but only if such Change of Control shall actually be consummated.

 

For the purposes this Agreement, “Change of Control” shall mean;

 

(a) the acquisition by any individual, entity or group (within the meaning of Section 13(d)(3) or 14(d)(2) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)), other than any individual, entity or group which, as of the date of this Agreement, beneficially owns more than ten percent (10%) of the then outstanding shares of common stock of the Company (the “Common Stock”), of beneficial ownership (within the meaning of Rule 13d-3 promulgated under the Exchange Act) of fifty (50%) or more of the then outstanding Common Stock; provided, however, that any acquisition by the Company or its subsidiaries, or any employee benefit plan (or related trust) of the Company or its subsidiaries of fifty percent (50%) or more of outstanding Common Stock shall not constitute a Change of Control; and, provided, further, that any acquisition by an entity with respect to which, following such acquisition, more than fifty percent (50%) of the then outstanding equity interests of such entity, is then beneficially owned, directly or indirectly, by all or substantially all of the individuals and entities who were the beneficial owners of the outstanding Common Stock immediately prior to such acquisition of the outstanding Common Stock, shall not constitute a Change in Control; or

 

(b) the consummation of a reorganization, merger or consolidation (any of the foregoing, a “Merger”), in each case, with respect to which all or substantially all of the individuals and entities who were the beneficial owners of the outstanding Common Stock immediately prior to such Merger do not, following such Merger, beneficially own, directly or indirectly, more than fifty percent (50%) of the then outstanding shares of common stock of the corporation resulting from Merger; or

 

(c) the sale or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company, excluding (a) a sale or other disposition of assets to a subsidiary of the Company; and (b) a sale or other disposition of assets to any individual, entity or group which, as of the date of this Agreement, beneficially owns more than ten percent (10%) of the then outstanding Common Stock.

 

  4  

 

7.        Non-transferability of the Option. Except as authorized by the Board, the Option is non-transferable by the Participant except by will or the laws of descent and distribution or pursuant to a qualified domestic relations order, and the Option may be exercised, during the lifetime of the Participant, only by the Participant or by the Participant’s guardian or legal representative or any transferee described above.

 

8.        Termination of the Company Relationship. If prior to the Option Expiration Date, the Company Relationship is terminated, the right to exercise the Option, to the extent vested, shall continue until the Option Expiration Date, but there shall be no further vesting of the Option following the effective date of the termination of the Company Relationship.

 

9.        Tax Matters.

 

9.1 The Option is intended to be a non-statutory stock option grant and shall not be treated as an incentive stock option within the meaning of Section 422(b) of the Code. 

 

9.2 At the time the Option is exercised, in whole or in part, or at any time thereafter as requested by the Company, the Participant hereby authorizes withholding from payroll and any other amounts payable to the Participant, and otherwise agrees to make adequate provision for (including by means of a cashless or net issue exercise to the extent permitted by the Company), any sums required to satisfy the federal, state, local and foreign tax withholding obligations of the Company, if any, which arise in connection with the Option, including, without limitation, obligations arising upon (i) the exercise, in whole or in part, of the Option, (ii) the transfer, in whole or in part, of any shares acquired upon exercise of the Option, (iii) the operation of any law or regulation providing for the imputation of interest, or (iv) the lapsing of any restriction with respect to any shares acquired upon exercise of the Option. The Participant is cautioned that the Option is not exercisable unless the tax withholding obligations of the Company are satisfied. Accordingly, the Participant may not be able to exercise the Option when desired even though the Option is vested, and the Company shall have no obligation to issue a certificate for such shares or release such shares from any escrow provided for herein.

 

9.3 The Participant should consult with a tax advisor before exercising the Option or disposing of the Shares to obtain advice as to the consequences of such exercise or disposition.

 

10.        Rights as a Stockholder. Participant or a transferee, if any, of the Option shall have no rights as a stockholder with respect to any Option Shares covered by such Option until the date when his purchase is entered upon the records of the duly authorized transfer agent of the Company. No adjustment shall be made for dividends (ordinary or extraordinary, whether in cash, securities or other property) or distribution of other rights for which the record date is prior to the date a stock certificate is issued, except as provided in the Plan.

 

  5  

 

11.        Adjustment in the Event of Change in Stock. In the event of any material change in the capitalization (including, but not limited to, a change in the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding), and the number and kind of shares subject to the Option and/or the exercise price per share will be adjusted. The determination of the Board or a duly appointed committee thereof regarding any adjustment will be final and conclusive.

 

12.        No Guarantee of Continued Service. PARTICIPANT ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREUNDER AND THE VESTING SCHEDULE SET FORTH HEREIN DO NOT CONSTITUTE AN EXPRESS OR IMPLIED PROMISE OF CONTINUED THE COMPANY RELATIONSHIP FOR THE VESTING PERIOD, FOR ANY PERIOD, OR AT ALL, AND SHALL NOT INTERFERE IN ANY WAY WITH PARTICIPANT’S RIGHT OR THE COMPANY’S RIGHT TO TERMINATE THE RELATIONSHIP AT ANY TIME, WITH OR WITHOUT CAUSE.

 

13.        Other Restrictions.

 

13.1 Board Discretionary Action. The exercise of the Option shall be subject to the requirement that, if at any time the Board or its Compensation Committee, if any, shall determine that (i) the listing, registration or qualification of the shares of Common Stock subject or related thereto upon any securities exchange or under any state or federal law, or (ii) the consent or approval of any government regulatory body or (iii) an agreement by the Participant with respect to the disposition of shares of Common Stock is necessary or desirable as a condition of, or in connection with, such exercise or the delivery or purchase of shares pursuant thereto, then in any such event, such exercise shall not be effective unless such listing, registration, qualification, consent, or approval or agreement shall have been effected or obtained free of any conditions not acceptable to the Board or its Compensation Committee, if any.

 

13.2 Restrictions on Grant of the Option and Issuance of Shares. The grant of the Option and the issuance of the Shares upon exercise of the Option shall be subject to compliance with all applicable requirements of federal, state or foreign law with respect to such securities. The Option may not be exercised if the issuance of shares of Stock upon exercise would constitute a violation of any applicable federal, state or foreign securities laws or other law or regulations or the requirements of any stock exchange or market system upon which the Stock may then be listed. THE PARTICIPANT IS CAUTIONED THAT THE OPTION MAY NOT BE EXERCISED UNLESS THE FOREGOING CONDITIONS ARE SATISFIED. ACCORDINGLY, THE PARTICIPANT MAY NOT BE ABLE TO EXERCISE THE OPTIONS WHEN DESIRED EVEN THOUGH THE STOCK OPTIONS ARE VESTED. Questions concerning this restriction should be directed to the Company’s President and Chief Executive Officer or the Chief Financial Officer of the Company. The inability of the Company to obtain from any regulatory body having jurisdiction the authority, if any, deemed by the Company’s legal counsel to be necessary to the lawful issuance and sale of any shares subject to the Option shall relieve the Company of any liability in respect of the failure to issue or sell such shares as to which such requisite authority shall not have been obtained. As a condition to the exercise of the Option, the Company may require the Participant to satisfy any qualifications that may be necessary or appropriate, to evidence compliance with any applicable law or regulation and to make any representation or warranty with respect thereto as may be requested by the Company.

 

  6  

 

13.3 Legends. The Company may at any time place legends referencing any applicable federal, state or foreign securities law restrictions on all certificates representing shares of stock subject to the provisions of this Agreement. The Participant shall, at the request of the Company, promptly present to the Company any and all certificates representing shares acquired pursuant to the Option in the possession of the Participant in order to carry out the provisions of this Section. The Company may, but will in no event be obligated to, register any securities issuable upon the exercise of all or any portion of the Option pursuant to the Securities Act of 1933 (as now in effect or as hereafter amended) or to take any other affirmative action in order to cause the exercise of the Option or the issuance of shares pursuant thereto to comply with any law or regulation of any governmental authority. The certificates representing shares issued to Participant hereunder shall bear such legends as Company determines appropriate referring to restrictions on the transfer of such shares imposed by this Agreement and such other legends as are required or appropriate under applicable law.

 

13.4 Trading Restrictions. The Company may establish periods from time to time during which the Participant’s ability to engage in transactions involving the Company’s stock is subject to specific restrictions (“Restricted Periods”). Notwithstanding any other provisions herein, the Participant may not exercise Stock Option during an applicable Restricted Period unless such exercise is specifically permitted by the Company (in its sole discretion). The Participant may be subject to a Restricted Period for any reason that the Company determines appropriate, including, Restricted Periods generally applicable to employees or groups of employees or Restricted Periods applicable to the Participant during an investigation of allegations of misconduct or conduct detrimental to the Company by the Participant.
