NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 1. ORGANIZATION

Ascent Solar Technologies, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiary, Ascent Solar (Asia) Pte. Ltd. (collectively, the “Company") is focusing on integrating its PV products into high value markets such as aerospace, satellites, near earth orbiting vehicles, and fixed wing unmanned aerial vehicles (“UAV”). The value proposition of Ascent’s proprietary solar technology not only aligns with the needs of customers in these industries, but also overcomes many of the obstacles other solar technologies face in these unique markets. Ascent has the capability to design and develop finished products for end users in these areas as well as collaborate with strategic partners to design and develop custom integrated solutions for products like fixed-wing UAVs. Ascent sees significant overlap of the needs of end users across some of these industries and can achieve economies of scale in sourcing, development, and production in commercializing products for these customers.

On September 15, 2021, the Company entered into a Long-Term Supply and Joint Development Agreement (“JDA”) with TubeSolar AG (“TubeSolar”), a significant existing stakeholder in the Company. Under the terms of the JDA, the Company will produce, and TubeSolar will purchase, thin-film photovoltaic (“PV”) foils (“PV Foils”) for use in TubeSolar’s solar modules for agricultural photovoltaic (“APV”) applications that require solar foils for its production. Under the JDA, the Company will receive up (i) to $4 million of non-recurring engineering (“NRE”) fees, (ii) up to $13.5 million of payments upon achievement of certain agreed production and cost structure milestones, and (iii) product revenues from sales of PV Foils to TubeSolar. The JDA has no fixed term, and may only be terminated by either party for breach. There has been no activity under the JDA as of September 30, 2021.

The Company and TubeSolar have also jointly established a subsidiary company in Germany, in which TubeSolar holds a minority stake of 30% (the “JV”). The purpose of the JV is to establish and operate a PV manufacturing facility in Germany that will produce and deliver PV Foils exclusively to TubeSolar. Until the JV facility is fully operational, PV Foils will be manufactured in the Company’s existing facility in Thornton, Colorado. The parties expect to jointly develop next generation tooling for use in manufacturing PV Foils at the JV facility. The Company is required to purchase 17,500 shares of the JV for 1 Euro per share, which has not been funded as of September 30, 2021. There has been no activity under the JV as of September 30, 2021.

NOTE 2. BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The accompanying, unaudited, condensed consolidated financial statements have been derived from the accounting records of the Company as of September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, and the results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020. All significant inter-company balances and transactions have been eliminated in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements.

The accompanying, unaudited, condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("U.S. GAAP") for interim financial information and in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 8 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, these interim financial statements do not include all of the information and footnotes typically found in U.S. GAAP audited annual financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair statement have been included. The Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet at December 31, 2020 has been derived from the audited financial statements as of that date but does not include all of the information and footnotes included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020. These condensed consolidated financial statements and notes should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020.

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 revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Operating results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2021.

NOTE 3. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The Company’s significant accounting policies were described in Note 3 to the audited financial statements included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020. There have been no significant changes to our accounting policies as of September 30, 2021.

Table of Contents

Derivatives: The Company evaluates its financial instruments under FASB ASC 815, "Derivatives and Hedging" to determine whether the instruments contain an embedded derivative. When an embedded derivative is present, the instrument is evaluated for a fair value adjustment upon issuance and at the end of every reporting period. Any adjustments to fair value are treated as gains and losses in fair values of derivatives and are recorded in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Refer to Notes 8, 10 and 11 for further discussion on the embedded derivatives of each instrument.

Paycheck Protection Program Loan: The Company has elected to account for the forgivable loan received under the Paycheck Protection Program (“PPP”) provisions of the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (“CARES”) Act as a debt instrument and to accrue interest on the outstanding loan balance. Additional interest at a market rate (due to the stated interest rate of the PPP loan being below market) is not imputed, as the transactions where interest rates prescribed by governmental agencies are excluded from the scope of accounting guidance on imputing interest. The proceeds from the loan will remain recorded as a liability until either (1) the loan is, in part or wholly, forgiven and the Company has been legally released or (2) the Company repays the loan to the lender.

Refer to Note 9 for further discussion.

Earnings per Share: Earnings per share (“EPS”) are the amount of earnings attributable to each share of common stock. Basic EPS has been computed by dividing income available to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Income available to common stockholders has been computed by deducting dividends accumulated for the period on cumulative preferred stock (whether or not earned) from net income. Diluted earnings per share has been computed by dividing net income adjusted on an if-converted basis for the period by the weighted average number of common shares and potentially dilutive common share outstanding (which consist of options and convertible securities using the treasury stock method or the if-converted method, as applicable, to the extent they are dilutive). Approximately 144 billion and 939 billion shares of dilutive shares were excluded from the three and nine months periods ended September 30, 2021 EPS calculation, respectively, as their impact is antidilutive. There were approximately 67 billion and 66 billion shares of dilutive shares for the three and nine months periods ended September 30, 2020, respectively.

Recently Adopted or to be Adopted Accounting Policies

In August 2020, the FASB issued ASU No. 2020-06, Debt - Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging Contracts in Entity s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40): Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity s Own Equity. ASU 2020-06 will simplify the accounting for convertible instruments by reducing the number of accounting models for convertible debt instruments and convertible preferred stock. Limiting the accounting models results in fewer embedded conversion features being separately recognized from the host contract as compared with current U.S. GAAP. Convertible instruments that continue to be subject to separation models are (1) those with embedded conversion features that are not clearly and closely related to the host contract, that meet the definition of a derivative, and that do not qualify for a scope exception from derivative accounting and (2) convertible debt instruments issued with substantial premiums for which the premiums are recorded as paid-in capital. ASU 2020-06 also amends the guidance for the derivatives scope exception for contracts in an entity’s own equity to reduce form-over-substance-based accounting conclusions. ASU 2020-06 will be effective for public companies for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted, but no earlier than fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Management has not yet evaluated the impact that the adoption of ASU 2020-06 will have on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statement presentation or disclosures.

Other new pronouncements issued but not effective as of September 30, 2021 are not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.

NOTE 4. LIQUIDITY, CONTINUED OPERATIONS, AND GOING CONCERN

During the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and the year ended December 31, 2020, the Company entered into multiple financing agreements to fund operations. Further discussion of these transactions can be found in Notes 9, 10, 11 and 14 of the financial statements presented as of, and for, the nine months ended September 30, 2021, and in Notes 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 15 and 22 of the financial statements included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020.

The Company has continued limited PV production at its manufacturing facility. The Company does not expect that sales revenue and cash flows will be sufficient to support operations and cash requirements until it has fully implemented its product strategy. During the nine months ended September 30, 2021 the Company used $6,227,813 in cash for operations.

Additional projected product revenues are not anticipated to result in a positive cash flow position for the next twelve months overall and, as of September 30, 2021, the Company has working capital of $1,755,422. As such, cash liquidity is not sufficient for the next twelve months and will require additional financing.

As a result of the Company’s recurring losses from operations and the need for additional financing to fund its operating and capital requirements, there is uncertainty regarding the Company’s ability to maintain liquidity sufficient to operate its business effectively, which raises doubt as to the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The Company scaled down its operations in 2019 and 2020, due to cash flow issues. During 2021, the Company secured additional financing to being ramping up operations. However, additional financing will be needed to continue this process.

Management cannot provide any assurances that the Company will be successful in accomplishing any of its plans. These condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

The note was to mature on September 30, 2022. Principal, if not converted, was to be payable in a lump sum on September 30, 2022. The note did not bear any interest. Customary default provisions applied. The note was secured by a lien on substantially all of the Company’s assets pursuant to the Security Agreement dated November 30, 2017 (the “Security Agreement”) entered into between the Company and Global.

The conversion option associated with the note was deemed to include an embedded derivative that required bifurcation and separate accounting. Refer to Note 11. Derivative Liabilities for further details.

On March 9, 2021, the Company entered into a settlement agreement (“Settlement”) with Global. Pursuant to the Settlement, the Company issued 168,000,000 shares of Common Stock of the Company (“Settlement Shares”) to Global in exchange for the cancellation of the outstanding secured promissory note of $5,800,000 (the “Secured Note”).

NOTE 9. PROMISSORY NOTES

SBA PPP

On April 17, 2020, the Company obtained a PPP Loan from Vectra Bank Colorado (“Vectra”) in the aggregate amount of $193,200, which was established under the CARES Act, as administered by the Small Business Association (“SBA”). Under the terms of the CARES Act and the PPP, all or a portion of the principal amount of the PPP Loan is subject to forgiveness so long as, over the 24-week period following the Company’s receipt of the proceeds of the PPP Loan, the Company uses those proceeds for payroll costs, rent, utility costs or the maintenance of employee and compensation levels. The PPP Loan is unsecured, guaranteed by the SBA, and has a two-year term, maturing on April 17, 2022. Interest accrues on the loan beginning with the initial disbursement; however, payments of principal and interest are deferred until Vectra’s determination of the amount of forgiveness applied for by the Company is approved by the SBA. If the Company does not apply for forgiveness within 10 months after the last day of the covered period (defined, at the Company’s election as 24 weeks), such payments will be due that month. On September 4, 2021, the Company received notification from Vectra that the SBA has forgiven the PPP loan. The Company recognized $195,852 of forgiven principal and accrued interest in Change in fair value of derivatives and gain/(loss) on extinguishment of liabilities, net in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations.
