NEAH POWER SYSTEMS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
For the nine months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012 respectively.
(Unaudited)
Note 1.
Organization and Description of Business
Neah Power Systems, Inc. (the Company, we. us or our) is engaged in the development and sale of renewable energy solutions using proprietary fuel cell technology. Our fuel cells are designed to replace existing rechargeable and non-rechargeable battery technology in a variety of applications. We have developed solutions specifically targeted for the military, transportation, and portable electronics applications, and are continuing to pursue additional applications for our technology. Our long-lasting, efficient and safe power solutions include devices such as notebook PCs, military radios, and other power-hungry computer, entertainment and communications products.
We are developing two classes of fuel cells, one referred to as the
PowerChip
and the other as the
PowerPlay
product. The
PowerChip
is a silicon based fuel cell that uses traditional computer chip manufacturing to build the fuel cell. The
PowerPlay
product was developed during the last two years using some processing steps of the
PowerChip
technology and using polymeric materials for a lower cost, consumer oriented product. The
PowerChip
is targeted for applications (anaerobic) where the quality of the surrounding air is unpredictable or not available such as diesel-fumes contaminated environments or underwater applications. The
PowerPlay
product uses air from the surrounding environment and is targeted for consumer-oriented and less aggressive applications and typically for lower power ranges. Our technology and its application have been validated both by our own research and customer results. We believe our fuel cells would outperform lithium ion batteries and other similar power sources, with longer run time, shorter recharge time, portability, and other measures of performance. We anticipate that our fuel cell solution will be particularly beneficial in applications requiring the use of more than one battery because the user will only need to use a single fuel cell with a supply of smaller fuel cartridges, resulting in reduced overall size and weight.
We have an intellectual property portfolio consisting of 12 issued patents, 3 patents pending, and various trade secrets for our proprietary technology. We use a unique, patented and award winning, silicon-based design for our
Powerchip
micro fuel cells that enable higher power densities, lower cost and compact form-factors. The
PowerChip
technology has been recognized for both its innovativeness and its application potential from noted sources including the 2012 ZINO Green finalist, the 2010 WTIA finalist, 2010 Best of Whats New Popular Science and other awards. Our website is
www.neahpower.com
.
Neah Power continues its aggressive efforts to accelerate the commercialization of our proprietary and patented fuel cell technologies that we passionately believe has the potential to revolutionize the energy storage marketplace. The shipment of our
PowerChip
system in the second half of 2012, and
PowerPlay
system in spring of 2013 were milestone events at the Company and we continue to see the fruits of the $50+ million that have gone into the Company with concrete progress of commercialization. We now have an increasing array of committed customers and customer prospects. Our capital constraints have severely limited our ability to execute on our business plan, the funding for which we consistently devote major attention, recent illustrative achievements are listed below.
·
We launched
PowerPlay
with a paid shipment to a Fortune 110 consumer company. This company is now expanding its interest and by evaluating the
PowerChip
technology for a range of different applications.
·
We entered into a mutually exclusive development contract with Ion Geophysical Corporation to develop a customer-specific product. The customer has committed to purchase a minimum number of units over a period of time.
·
We intend to update on an ongoing basis high levels of interest from a range of other defense, aerospace and automotive customers for the
PowerChip
products, as well as the large India Defense entity.
·
We continue to grow our IP portfolio with new patents awarded and applications submitted, which differentiates us from the competition and enhances our value
·
High potential impact discussions are ongoing with a telecom company for the
PowerPlay
product for consumer cell phone recharging.
·
We have recently been able to successfully remove the Depository Trust Clearing Corporation (DTCC) trading restrictions (Chill) that were implemented on the stock.
·
On June 26, 2012, we announced an initial order from a Fortune 150, U.S.-based defense supplier, for the
PowerChip
fuel cell, which has reiterated its interest in the Company.
·
We have two proposals jointly submitted with the previously mentioned customer for soldier power and unmanned surface vehicle applications, which we believe are impacted by sequestration.

Note 2.
Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for interim financial information and in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and note disclosures required by U.S. generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. The accompanying unaudited financial information should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements, including the notes thereto, as of and for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2012, included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on December 31, 2012. The information furnished in this Report reflects all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments), which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair presentation of our consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows for each period presented. The results of operations for the interim period ended June 30, 2013 may not be indicative of future results.
Fair value of financial instruments
The carrying value of cash and cash equivalents approximate their fair value (determined based on level 1 inputs in the fair value hierarchy) based on the short-term nature of these financial instruments. The carrying values of the note receivable and notes payable and accrued interest approximate their fair value (determined based on level 3 inputs in the fair value hierarchy) because interest rates approximate market interest rates.
Use of estimates in the preparation of financial statements
Preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The more significant accounting estimates inherent in the preparation of our condensed consolidated financial statements include estimates as to the valuation of equity related instruments.
Revenue Recognition
Revenue for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012 consists primarily of revenues from a research and development contract. In general, we recognize revenue when we have persuasive evidence of an arrangement, the services/goods have been provided or delivered to the customer, the price is fixed and determinable, no significant unfulfilled obligations exist, and collectability is reasonably assured. Revenue from research and development arrangements is recognized either (a) as performance is estimated to be completed which is based on factors such as costs or direct labor hours of the project, or (b) using the milestone method if the contractual milestones in the arrangement are determined to be substantive. Each research and development arrangement is analyzed to determine the appropriate revenue recognition method to be utilized. Estimates of performance completion are reviewed on a periodic basis and are subject to change, and changes could occur in the near term. If an estimate is changed, revenue could be impacted significantly. Payments received in excess of amounts earned are recorded as deferred revenue. At June 30, 2013 there is $10,001 of deferred revenue included in other liabilities on the condensed consolidated balance sheet (none at September 30, 2012).
Note 3. Going concern
The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, which contemplate continuation of our Company as a going concern. Since inception, we have reported net losses, including losses of $999,544 and $1,633,217 during the years ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively. We have reported a net loss of $1,726,817 during the nine months ended June 30, 2013, and we expect losses to continue in the near future as we grow our operations. At June 30, 2013, we have a working capital deficit of $1,386,662 and an accumulated deficit of $57,876,740. Net cash used by operating activities was $549,835 and $1,194,439 during the nine months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively. We have funded our operations primarily through sales of our common and preferred stock, short-term borrowings, and cash receipt from sales. In this regard, during the nine months ended June 30, 2013, we raised $355,500 from our financing activities, and received approximately $191,980 in cash pursuant to terms on sales contracts.
9
Investment funds received have not been sufficient to continue to support certain operating activities, which led to postponement in the deployment of our business strategy and the scaling back of research and development activities. We continue at reduced staffing levels as we focus on raising additional capital and engaging prospective customers. Without additional funding, our cash is estimated to support our operations into September 2013. These factors, and those of the preceding paragraph, raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.
We require additional financing to execute our business strategy and to satisfy our near-term working capital requirements. Our operating expenses will use a significant amount of our cash resources. Our management seeks to raise additional financing to fund future operations and to provide additional working capital to fund our business. There is no assurance that such financing will be obtained in sufficient amounts necessary or on terms favorable or on terms acceptable to us to meet our needs. In the event that we cannot obtain additional funds, on a timely basis or our operations do not generate sufficient cash flow, we may be forced to curtail our development or cease our operations altogether, which may include seeking protection under the bankruptcy laws.
The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effects on the recoverability and classification of assets or amounts and classifications of liabilities that may result from the outcome of this uncertainty
Note 4. Net Income and Loss per Share
Earnings and Loss per Share
Basic and diluted net income (loss) per common share is computed by dividing the net income (loss) by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. All common stock equivalents for 2013 are excluded as the effect would be anti-dilutive due to our net losses. The following numbers of shares have been excluded from net loss per share computations for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012:

After six months from the date of issue, the promissory notes may be converted into shares of common stock at a rate of 58% of the average of the three lowest closing bid prices during the ten trading days prior to notice to convert. During the nine months ended June 30, 2013, we recorded debt discount for beneficial conversion feature on these notes in the amount of $142,381.

Note 6. Preferred Stock and Common Stock
Preferred Stock
- Our board of directors has the authority to designate and issue up to 5,000,000 shares of $0.001 par value preferred stock in one or more series, and to fix and determine the relative economic rights and preferences of preferred shares any or all of which may be greater than the rights of our common stock, as well as the authority to issue such shares without further stockholder approval. As a result, our board of directors could authorize the issuance of a series of preferred stock that would grant to holders preferred rights to our assets upon liquidation, the right to receive dividends before dividends are declared to holders of our common stock, and the right to the redemption of such preferred shares, together with a premium, prior to the redemption of the common stock. In addition, shares of preferred stock could be issued with terms calculated to delay or prevent a change in control or make removal of management more difficult. As of June 30, 2013, we had three classes of preferred stock designated, of which 2,500,000 shares were designated as Series A preferred stock, 1,000,000 shares as Series B preferred stock, and 1,000,000 shares as Series C preferred stock, leaving 500,000 shares of undesignated preferred stock.
Series A Preferred Stock -
As of June 30, 2013 and September 30, 2012, we had no shares of Series A preferred stock issued and outstanding
Series B Preferred Stock -
As of June 30, 2013 and September 30, 2012, we have 227,700 and 420,700 shares of Series B preferred stock respectively issued and outstanding. In July 2011, we filed a Certificate of Designation with the Nevada Secretary of State, to set forth the rights, preferences and privileges of the Series B preferred stock (Series B).
Holders of Series B have no redemption rights and each share of Series B is entitled to interest at a simple interest rate of 6% per annum. Series B is convertible, at the discretion of our management, into shares of our common stock, except that the holders of the Series B may elect to convert the Series B into common stock upon or after the resignation or termination of our Chief Executive Officer. The number of shares of common stock issuable upon conversion is calculated by (i) multiplying the number of Series B being converted by the per share purchase price received by the Company for such Series B , and then, multiplying such number by 130% and then dividing this calculated value by the average closing bid price, as defined, or by (ii) first, allocating the Series B proportionately according to the amounts by date of individual cash tranches received by the Company then, second, multiplying the number of Series B being converted, identified by tranche, by the per share purchase price received by the Company for such Series B, and then, multiplying such number or numbers by 130% and, finally, dividing the calculated value(s) by the average closing bid price, as defined. The holders of the Series B are entitled to vote with the holders of our common stock with the number of votes equal to the number of common shares available by conversion to the holders of the Series B. We have the right to redeem the Series B in cash at the face amount plus any accrued, but unpaid dividends.
In June 2013, the company exercised its right to convert 193,000 shares of Series B preferred stock, together with $6,379 of accrued dividends, into 45,795,900 shares of common stock.
Series C Preferred Stock -
In November 2012, we converted 6,571 shares of Series C preferred stock into 6,571,000 shares of common stock. As a result, we have no shares of Series C preferred stock issued and outstanding at June 30, 2013.
11
Common Stock
- We are authorized to issue up to 1.8 billion shares of $0.001 par value common stock. Holders of our common stock are entitled to one vote for each share held of record on all matters submitted to a vote of the holders of our common stock. Subject to the rights of the holders of any class of our capital stock having any preference or priority over our common stock, the holders of shares of our common stock are entitled to receive dividends that are declared by our board of directors out of legally available funds. In the event of our liquidation, dissolution or winding up, the holders of our common stock are entitled to share ratably in our net assets remaining after payment of liabilities, subject to prior rights of preferred stock, if any, then outstanding. Our common stock has no preemptive rights, conversion rights, redemption rights, or sinking fund provisions, and there are no dividends in arrears or in default. All shares of our common stock have equal distribution, liquidation and voting rights and have no preferences or exchange rights.
Common Stock and Warrants issued for services

Long Term Incentive Compensation Plan
Our Long Term Incentive Compensation Plan (the Plan") was adopted in 2006 and amended in 2009. The Plan is administered by our Board of Directors.

Employee Stock Purchase Plan
- In 2008, we adopted an Employee Stock Purchase Plan, under which the number of shares of common stock that may be sold shall not exceed 900,000 shares. No shares have been purchased under this plan.
Note 7. Commitments and Contingencies
Lease
- Our corporate offices and laboratory facilities are leased under a lease agreement amended in November 2011. Under the terms of the lease amendment, the term of the lease continues through October 31, 2013 at a monthly rent of $9,500, plus expenses.
2011 Contested Loan Write-Offs
- As described in the notes to our consolidated financial statements for the year ended September 30, 2012 in our annual report on Form 10-K, during fiscal 2011 we wrote off certain contested notes payable to CAMHZN Master LDC, Agile Opportunity Fund (Agile), and Capitoline Advisors, Inc. (Capitoline) in an aggregate amount of approximately $1.6 million. In addition, during fiscal 2011, we rescinded 2,422,979 shares of our common stock previously issuable to Agile and Capitoline. We wrote off the balance of these notes and shares after concluding that the total amount of our equity payments made on each of these notes represented payments in excess of the loan principal plus the maximum interest allowed under the applicable laws of the state of New York, the state by which the notes were governed. These lenders dispute our conclusions and continue to allege that we are in default of our obligations. Although we believe that we have paid our obligations on the notes to the maximum amount permitted or required under applicable law, it is reasonably possible that one or more of these lenders may bring legal action against us and there are no assurances whether we would prevail in any such action.
Disputes With Various Vendors and Lenders
- Certain of our vendors and lenders have brought suits and/or obtained judgments in their favor regarding past due balances owed them by us. We have recorded these past due balances in liabilities in our condensed consolidated balance sheets at June 30, 2013, and September 30, 2012.

During the nine months ended June 30, 2013, we recorded consulting expense in the amount of $22,500 for services by David Schmidt as Acting Principal Financial Officer. In the same period, we also recorded $15,000 for a separate consulting agreement with Advanced Materials Advisory, LLC., that ended in December, 2012.

Note 9. Subsequent Events
In July 2013, we issued to a lender 3,250,000 shares of common stock for a note obligation in the amount of $5,000 together with $1,500 of interest in satisfaction of the remainder of a convertible note.
In July 2013 the company sold 10,395,010 shares of restricted common stock and a 3-year warrant to purchase 324,675 shares of common stock at the exercise price of $0.0154 per share to Mr. Jeffrey B. Sakaguchi, Chairman of our Board of Directors, for the purchase price of $25,000 pursuant to the terms of a Securities Purchase Agreement.
In July 2013 the company sold 49,064,449 shares of restricted common stock and a 3-year warrant to purchase 1,532,468 shares of common stock at the exercise price of $0.0154 per share to an investor for the purchase price of $118,000 pursuant to the terms of a Securities Purchase Agreement.
In July 2013 the company entered into a Trade Debt Settlement Agreement and Promissory Note with Summit Trading Ltd for $100,000 for Marketing and Investor Relations services paid on behalf of the company. The Note is unsecured and interest bearing at 8% per annum with a maturity date of July 1, 2014.
In August 2013, the Board of Directors reorganized and consolidated the Companys five outstanding employee/director compensation plans into the surviving Long Term Incentive Compensation Plan. The Board terminated the Employee Stock Purchase Plan adopted in 2008 (no awards/purchases made; 900,000 common share pool), the 2010 Retention Bonus Plan and the 2012 Retention Bonus Plan , with the proviso that the nine (9 ) cash award grants, representing a maximum aggregate $193,600 potentially payable under the grants issued under the retention bonus plans shall survive the plan terminations. The payment of the cash awards issued under the bonus retention plans is subject in all cases to a best efforts condition in favor of the Company and ,therefore, are not accrued as liabilities in our financial statements; conjunctively, and in order to eliminate the complicated accounting issues resulting from their revenue-based vesting schedules, the Board also terminated the Sales Incentive Plan (8 awards- 300,000,000 common share pool) and the 8 recipients of stock option grants thereunder agreed to accept new stock option grants to be issued under the surviving Long Term Incentive Compensation Plan in exchange for their outstanding grants under the terminated Sales Incentive Plan. Accordingly, and by virtue of an amendment to the Long Term Incentive Compensation Plan, the Board consolidated its 25,000,000 share pool with the 300,000,000 common share pool from the terminated Sales Incentive Plan. The 8 new stock option grants, representing an aggregate 213,200,000 underlying shares, issued to the recipients in exchange for the termination of their grants in the same aggregate share amount under the terminated Sales Incentive Plan, all have vesting schedules that provide for the vesting of 25% of each grant upon receipt, followed by 25% grant vesting over the next three successive six month intervals, all with exercise prices of $.00354 per share. This plan consolidation maintained the available common share pool previously spread over all of the terminated plans and did not result in any increase in the number of common shares previously dedicated to these plan reserves.
In August 2013, the company signed a 6% Convertible Redeemable Secured Note with GEL Properties, LLC for $38,500. The note is convertible at a price equal to 65% of the lowest closing bid price of the Common Stock as reported on the National Quotations Bureau OTCQB exchange for any of the five trading days including the day upon which a Notice of Conversion is received by the Company. The funds will be used to reduce the companys obligation to the landlord. The Company and the landlord have agreed that the remaining balance of the obligation will be resolved in 45 days.
In August 2013, we issued to a lender 7,500,000 shares of common stock for a note obligation in the amount of $15,000 in partial satisfaction of a convertible note.

We are developing two classes of fuel cells, one referred to as the
PowerChip
and the other as the
PowerPlay
product. The
PowerChip
is a silicon based fuel cell that uses traditional computer chip manufacturing to build the fuel cell. The
PowerPlay
product was developed during the last two years using some processing steps of the
PowerChip
technology and using polymeric materials for a lower cost, consumer oriented product. The
PowerChip
is targeted for applications (anaerobic) where the quality of the surrounding air is unpredictable or not available, such as in diesel-fumes contaminated environments or underwater applications. The
PowerPlay
product uses air from the surrounding environment and is targeted for consumer-oriented and less aggressive applications for lower power ranges.
We have an intellectual property portfolio consisting of 12 issued patents, 3 patents pending, that are being developed and various trade secrets for our proprietary technology. Neah uses a unique, patented and award winning, silicon-based design for our
Powerchip
micro fuel cells that enable higher power densities, lower cost and compact form-factors.
Our business model includes the potential to license the manufacturing of our fuel cells or to purchase product directly from the Company. Previously, our business plan had an outsourced manufacturing business model, subcontracting to third parties substantially all of the production and assembly. The shift to emphasize a licensing strategy, while continuing an outsourced manufacturing model, is intended to further leverage existing third-party manufacturing capacity in the semiconductor industry. We also intend to design and distribute the fuel cartridges that these fuel cells require for refueling. We anticipate that we will generate future revenues from the sale and licensing of both fuel cartridges and the completed fuel cells. Our business plan contemplates that we will subcontract to third parties substantially all of the production and assembly of the fuel cells and fuel cartridges.
For the
PowerChip
technology, we are focusing our initial sales strategy on markets requiring anaerobic or low oxygen content environments, such as underwater, transportation, aerospace and military applications. Our product focus for fiscal 2013 will be directed to our business with the large US defense supplier and the proposal to the commercial aviation provider, as well as fuel cell range extenders for electric and other recreational vehicles. For the
PowerChip
and the
PowerPlay
product, we will also continue to pursue adoption in the consumer markets. While the size of the consumer markets is very significant, the adoption cycle can be much longer than the other markets that we are currently focused on.
The deployment of our business strategy has been delayed during 2013 and 2012 by the availability of capital and our inability to raise sufficient capital to fund ongoing operations, sales and marketing and production. Assuming we are able to continue to obtain sufficient financing, we intend to focus on production and delivery of products to customers and sales efforts. We intend to continue to develop business relationships and demonstrate our technology to potential leading edge adopters.
We have shipped PowerChip® product to a Fortune 150 Defense Supplier and are in discussions with them regarding follow up business. We recently announced a sales and purchase agreement with Ion Geophysical Corporation (the Customer), whereby the Company is developing fuel cell stacks utilizing the company fuel cells within a mutually agreed to schedule. The agreement also provides for (a) the Company to be the exclusive supplier of the subject product to the Customer for the intended application, and for the Customer to have exclusive use of the Companys subject product technology for the intended application and (b) the delivery of a minimum of eighty eight (88) units to the Customer, in each case subject to the terms and conditions of the agreement. We have made significant progress on this development program, and continue to meet various milestones and receive payments that have been jointly defined with this customer.
We have shipped our initial unit of the PowerPlay product to a Fortune 110 consumer company for evaluation. We have also received interest from other telecom service providers both domestically and internationally and as previously announced the Company intends to launch this product in a limited fashion directly to consumers. The Company will update on an ongoing basis.

Liquidity, Going Concern and Capital Resources
Our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared assuming we will continue as a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business. The report of our auditors on our Consolidated Financial Statements for our fiscal year ended September 30, 2012 indicates that there is substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern based upon our balance sheet, cash flows and liquidity position. We cannot provide assurance that we will obtain sufficient funds from financing or operating activities to support continued operations or business deployment. Our financial statements for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012 do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effects on the recoverability and classification of assets or amounts and classifications of liabilities that may result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
Since our inception, we have reported net losses, including losses of $999,544 and $1,633,217 during the years ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively. We have reported a net loss of $1,726,817 during the nine months ended June 30, 2013, and we expect losses to continue in the near future as we grow our operations. At June 30, 2013, we have a working capital deficit of $1,386,662 and an accumulated deficit of $57,876,740.
During the past several years, we have funded our operations through sales of our common and preferred stock, short-term borrowings, and settlement of accounts payable by issuance of common stock. During the nine months ended June 30, 2013, we have funded our operations through proceeds from convertible debentures and security purchase agreements in the amount of $355,500. In addition, we received $191,980 in cash pursuant to the terms on sales contracts.
We require additional financing to execute our business strategy and to satisfy our near-term working capital requirements. Our operating expenses will use a significant amount of our cash resources. As of June 30, 2013, we had $985,000 in accounts payable. Our management seeks to raise additional financing to fund future operations and to provide additional working capital to fund our business. Without additional funding, our cash is estimated to support our operations through September 2013. We cannot provide assurance that we will obtain sufficient funds from financing or operating activities to support continued operations or business deployment Without the needed funding or adequate cash flow from operations, we may be forced to curtail our development or cease our operations altogether, which may include seeking protection under the bankruptcy laws.
Recent Financing Activities
In June 2013 we issued a convertible promissory note in the amount of $32,500. The note is interest bearing at an annual rate of 8% and has a maturity date of March 14, 2014. After six months from the date of issue, the promissory note may be converted into shares of common stock at a rate of 58% of the average of the three lowest closing bid prices during the ten trading days prior to notice to convert.
In May 2013 the Company sold 9,782,609 restricted common shares together with 3-year warrants to purchase 1,168,831 restricted common shares at the exercise price of $.0154 per share pursuant to two separate Security Purchase Agreements for proceeds of $45,000.
Results of Operations
For the three and nine months ended June 30, 2013, compared to the three and nine months ended June 30, 2012
Revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012 were $103,887 and $0 respectively, and for the nine months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012 were $149,179 and $189,500, respectively. In the nine months ended June 30, 2012, we generated revenue from the completion of a development contract with a customer in the amount of $189,500. In the current year periods we generated revenue from a development contract
Research and development expenses (R&D) consist primarily of salaries and other personnel-related expenses, facilities costs, and other laboratory and research related expenses. Total R&D costs for the three months ended June 30, 2013 increased $117,000 to $246,000 from $129,000 in the prior year period. The increase was primarily due to increases in salaries of $8,000, and project expenses of $107,000. For the nine months ended June 30, 2013, R&D increased by $261,000, to $507,000 from $246,000 for the same period in 2012. The increase was primarily due to increase in R&D salaries and wages of $97,000, an increase in project expenses of $168,000 and a decrease in facilities cost and depreciation expense of $6,000.

General and administrative expenses (G&A) consist primarily of salaries and related expenses for our management, finance and related personnel, as well as costs for marketing and sales expenses, professional fees, such as accounting and legal, corporate insurance and facilities costs, and non-employee members of our board of directors. G&A expenses decreased $60,000 to $381,000 from $441,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2013 compared to the same period in 2012. G&A expenses increased $73,000 to $1,158,000 from $1,085,000 for the nine months ended June 30, 2013 compared to the same period in 2012. The increase in G&A expense in the three and nine months ended June 30, 2013 was primarily due to the following:
·
a decrease in board compensation of $4,000 and $24,000 to $18,000 and $51,000 in the three and nine months ended June 30, 2013 respectively compared with $22,000 and $75,000 in the same periods in 2012 respectively.
·
an increase of $6,000 and a decrease of $36,000 in stock option and warrant compensation to $12,000 in the three and nine months ended June 30, 2013 from $6,000 and $48,000 (including warrants) for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2012.
·
an increase of $4,000 and $19,000 in marketing expenses for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2013 to $4,000 and $26,000 from $0 and $7,000, recorded for the same periods in 2012,
·
a decrease in salaries expense of $79,000 from $184,000 (including taxes and benefits) to $105,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2013 compared to the same period in 2012, and of $50,000 to $291,000 from $341,000 (including taxes and benefits) for the nine months ended June 30, 2013 compared to the same period 2012
·
an increase in professional services of $24,000 and $243,000 to $224,000 and $723,000 respectively for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2013 compared with $200,000 and $480,000, recorded for the same periods in 2012.
·
a decrease in other expenses of $8,000 and $76,000 to $10,000 and $31,000 for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2013 compared with $18,000 and $107,000 for the same periods in 2012.
During the three and nine months ended June 30, 2013, we recorded net loss on the settlement of liabilities of $2,000 and $60,000 compared with a net gain of $50,000 and $1,057,000 in the same periods in 2012.
Interest expense decreased by $29,000 to $44,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2013 compared to $73,000 in the same period in 2012. Interest expense decreased by $117,000 to $112,000 for the nine months ended June 30, 2013 compared to $229,000 in the same period in 2012. The decrease in the third quarter 2013 and the nine months ended June 30, 2013 compared with the same periods in 2012 was primarily due to reduced interest from notes payable and debentures resulting from lower loan balances in 2013 and over all lower debt discount costs amortized to interest expense in 2013.
Financing costs increased to $2,500 and $37,000 for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2013 from nil in the same periods in fiscal 2012 due to costs of financing efforts in 2013.
We are not certain how the current economic downturn may affect our business. Because of the global recession, government agencies and private industry may not have the funds to purchase its power systems. It may also be more difficult for us to raise capital in the current economic environment. Other than as discussed herein, the Company does not know of any material trends, events or uncertainties that may impact its operations in the future.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
We prepare our Consolidated Financial Statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities and expenses. Our critical accounting policies include revenue recognition, accounting for research and development costs, accounting for contingencies, accounting for income taxes, and accounting for share-based compensation. For a more detailed discussion on our accounting policies, see Note 2 to our Consolidated Financial Statements included in our September 30, 2012, form 10-K.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
As of June 30, 2013 we did not have any off-balance sheet arrangements.
