NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

SEPTEMBER 30, 2015

 

1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION

 

The accompanying unaudited financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all normal recurring adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the three months ended September 30, 2015 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending June 30, 2016. For further information refer to the financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the Company's Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2015.

 

Going Concern

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis of accounting, which contemplates continuity of operations, realization of assets and liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business. The accompanying financial statements do not reflect any adjustments that might result if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern. The Company does not generate revenue, and has negative cash flows from operations, which raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern and appropriateness of using the going concern basis is dependent upon, among other things, additional cash infusion. The Company has historically obtained funds through private placement offerings of equity and debt. Management believes that it will be able to continue to raise funds by sale of its securities to its existing shareholders and prospective new investors to provide the additional cash needed to meet the Company’s obligations as they become due, and will allow the development of its core business. There is no assurance that the Company will be able to continue raising the required capital.

 

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

This summary of significant accounting policies of HyperSolar, Inc. is presented to assist in understanding the Company’s financial statements. The financial statements and notes are representations of the Company’s management, which is responsible for their integrity and objectivity. These accounting policies conform to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and have been consistently applied in the preparation of the financial statements.

 

Cash and Cash Equivalent

The Company considers all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.

 

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the accompanying financial statements. Significant estimates made in preparing these financial statements include the estimate of useful lives of intangible assets, and the deferred tax valuation allowance. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

Intangible Assets

Intangible assets consist of patents that are initially measured at the lower of cost or fair value. The patents are deemed to have an indefinite life and are not amortized. The patents are assessed annually for impairment, or whenever conditions indicate the asset may be impaired, and any such impairment will be recognized in the period identified.

 

Loss per Share Calculations

Loss per Share dictates the calculation of basic earnings per share and diluted earnings per share. Basic earnings per share are computed by dividing income available to common shareholders by the weighted-average number of common shares available. Diluted earnings per share is computed similar to basic earnings per share except that the denominator is increased to include the number of additional common shares that would have been outstanding if the potential common shares had been issued and if the additional common shares were dilutive. No shares for the convertible notes were used in the calculation of the loss per share as they were all anti-dilutive. The Company’s diluted loss per share is the same as the basic loss per share for the three months ended September 30, 2015, as the inclusion of any potential shares would have had an anti-dilutive effect due to the Company generating a loss. The Company excluded 500,000 of options, and the shares issuable from convertible debt of $1,090,500 for the three months ended September 30, 2015.

 

Stock based Compensation

The Company periodically issues stock options and warrants to employees and non-employees in non-capital raising transactions for services and for financing costs. The Company accounts for stock option and warrant grants issued and vesting to employees based on the authoritative guidance provided by the Financial Accounting Standards Board whereas the value of the award is measured on the date of grant and recognized over the vesting period. The Company accounts for stock option and warrant grants issued and vesting to non-employees in accordance with the authoritative guidance of the Financial Accounting Standards Board whereas the value of the stock compensation is based upon the measurement date as determined at either a) the date at which a performance commitment is reached, or b) at the date at which the necessary performance to earn the equity instruments is complete. Non-employee stock-based compensation charges generally are amortized over the vesting period on a straight-line basis. In certain circumstances where there are no future performance requirements by the non-employee, option grants are immediately vested and the total stock-based compensation charge is recorded in the period of the measurement date.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

 

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

Fair value of financial instruments, requires disclosure of the fair value information, whether or not recognized in the balance sheet, where it is practicable to estimate that value. As of September 30, 2015, the amounts reported for cash, accrued interest and other expenses, notes payables, and derivative liability approximate the fair value because of their short maturities.

 

We adopted ASC Topic 820 for financial instruments measured as fair value on a recurring basis. ASC Topic 820 defines fair value, established a framework for measuring fair value in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States and expands disclosures about fair value measurements.

 

Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. ASC Topic 820 established a three-tier fair value hierarchy which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (level 3 measurements). These tiers include:

 

Level 1, defined as observable inputs such as quoted prices for identical instruments in active markets;
Level 2, defined as inputs other than quoted prices in active markets that are either directly or indirectly observable such as quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets or quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active; and
Level 3, defined as unobservable inputs in which little or no market data exists, therefore requiring an entity to develop its own assumptions, such as valuations derived from valuation techniques in which one or more significant inputs or significant value drivers are unobservable.

 

We measure certain financial instruments at fair value on a recurring basis. Assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis are as follows at September 30, 2015:

 

   Total   (Level 1)   (Level 2)   (Level 3) 
                 
Liabilities                
                     
Derivative liability   10,803,002    -    -    10,803,002 
Total liabilities measured at fair value  $10,803,002   $-   $-   $10,803,002 

 

The following is a reconciliation of the derivative liability for which Level 3 inputs were used in determining the approximate fair value:

 

Beginning balance as of July 1, 2015  $13,034,374 
Fair value of derivative liabilities issued   256,970 
Gain on change in derivative liability   (2,488,342)
Ending balance as of September 30, 2015  $10,803,002 

 

Accounting for Derivatives

The Company evaluates all of its financial instruments to determine if such instruments are derivatives or contain features that qualify as embedded derivatives. For derivative financial instruments that are accounted for as liabilities, the derivative instrument is initially recorded at its fair value and is then re-valued at each reporting date, with changes in the fair value reported in the statements of operations. For stock-based derivative financial instruments, the Company uses a probability weighted average series Black-Scholes-Merton option pricing models to value the derivative instruments at inception and on subsequent valuation dates.

 

The classification of derivative instruments, including whether such instruments should be recorded as liabilities or as equity, is evaluated at the end of each reporting period. Derivative instrument liabilities are classified in the balance sheet as current or non-current based on whether or not net-cash settlement of the derivative instrument could be required within 12 months of the balance sheet date.

 

Recently issued pronouncements

On August 27, 2014, the Company adopted the amendment to ASU 2014-15 on Presentation of Financial Statements Going Concern (Subtopic 205-40). The amendment provides for guidance to reduce diversity in the timing and content of footnote disclosures. The amendment requires management to assess the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern by incorporating and expanding upon certain principles that are currently in U.S. auditing standards. The Company has to define the term of substantial doubt, which has to be evaluated every reporting period including interim periods. Management has to provide principles for considering the mitigating effect of its plan, and disclose when substantial doubt is alleviated as well as when it is not alleviated. The Company is required to assess managements plan for a period of one year after the financial statements are issued (or available to be issued). The amendment is effective for annual periods ending after December 15, 2016. Early adoption is permitted. The Company does not believe the accounting standards currently adopted will have a material effect on the accompanying condensed financial statements.

4.STOCK OPTIONS

 

Options

On March 31, 2015, the Company granted 250,000 non-qualified stock options to an employee. As of March 31, 2015, 500,000 non-qualified common stock options were outstanding. Each option shall be exercisable to the nearest whole share, in installments or otherwise, as the respective agreements may provide. Each Option expires on the date specified in the Option agreement, which date is not later than the fifth (5th) anniversary from the grant date of the options. As of September 30, 2015, 250,000 options are fully vested and are exercisable at an exercise price $0.04 per share. The 250,000 stock options granted on March 31, 2015 are not currently exercisable and are subject to vesting conditions which provide that fifty (50%) percent of the options vest on March 31, 2016 and the remaining fifty (50%) on March 31, 2017. These stock options are exercisable for a period of five years from the date of grant at an exercise price of $0.02245 per share.

5. CONVERTIBLE PROMISSORY NOTES (Continued)

 

On May 23, 2014, the Company entered into a securities purchase agreement for the sale of a 10% convertible promissory note in the aggregate principal amount of up to $500,000. The note is convertible into shares of common stock of the Company at a price equal to a variable conversion price of the lesser of $0.0048 per share or fifty percent (50%) of the lowest trading price after the effective date to acquire common stock. Upon execution of the securities purchase agreement, the Company received an advance of $50,000. The Company received additional advances in the amount of $415,000 for an aggregate sum of $465,000. The Note matured on May 23, 2015 and was extended to February 23, 2016. The Company recorded amortization of debt discount, which was recognized as interest expense in the amount of $79,397 during the three months ended September 30, 2015.

 

On April 9, 2015, the Company entered into a securities purchase agreement into for the sale of a 10% convertible promissory note in the aggregate principal amount of up to $500,000. The note is convertible into shares of common stock of the Company at a price equal to a variable conversion price of the lesser of $0.01 per share or fifty percent (50%) of the lowest trading price since the original effective date of each respective advance or the lowest effective price per share granted to any person or entity after the effective date to acquire common stock. Upon execution of the securities purchase agreement, the Company received an advance of $50,000. The Company received additional advances in the amount of $250,000 for an aggregate sum of $300,000. The note matures nine (9) months from the effective dates of each respective advance. The Company recorded amortization of debt discount, which was recognized as interest expense in the amount of $74,630 during the three months ended September 30, 2015.

 

ASC Topic 815 provides guidance applicable to convertible debt issued by the Company in instances where the number into which the debt can be converted is not fixed. For example, when a convertible debt converts at a discount to market based on the stock price on the date of conversion, ASC Topic 815 requires that the embedded conversion option of the convertible debt be bifurcated from the host contract and recorded at their fair value. In accounting for derivatives under accounting standards, the Company recorded a liability representing the estimated present value of the conversion feature considering the historic volatility of the Company’s stock, and a discount representing the imputed interest associated with the embedded derivative. The discount is amortized over the life of the convertible debt, and the derivative liability is adjusted periodically according to stock price fluctuations.

 

6. DERIVATIVE LIABILITIES

 

The convertible notes (the “Notes”) issued and described in Note 5 do not have fixed settlement provisions because their conversion prices are not fixed. The conversion features have been characterized as derivative liabilities to be re-measured at the end of every reporting period with the change in value reported in the statement of operations.

 

During the three months ended September 30, 2015, as a result of the Notes issued that were accounted for as derivative liabilities, we determined that the fair value of the conversion feature of the convertible notes at issuance was $256,970, based upon a Black-Sholes-Model calculation. We recorded the full value of the derivative as a liability at issuance with an offset to valuation discount, which will be amortized over the life of the Notes.

 

During the three months ended September 30, 2015, approximately $24,500 in principal of the Notes were converted. As a result of the conversion of these Notes, and the change in fair value of the remaining Notes, the Company recorded a net gain in change in derivative of $2,488,342 in the statement of operations for the three months ended September 30, 2015. At September 30, 2015, the fair value of the derivative liability was $10,803,002.

 

For purpose of determining the fair market value of the derivative liability for the embedded conversion, the Company used Black Scholes option valuation model. The significant assumptions used in the Black Scholes valuation of the derivative are as follows:

 

Risk free interest rate 0.00% - 0.47%
Stock volatility factor 15.55% - 318.08%
Weighted average expected option life 1 month - 9 months
Expected dividend yield None

Overview

 

Inspired by the photosynthetic process that plants use to harness the power of the sun to create energy molecules, we are developing a novel solar-powered particle system that mimics photosynthesis to separate hydrogen from water.  On November 15, 2011, we filed a patent application to protect the intellectual property rights to the production of renewable hydrogen and natural gas using sunlight, water, and carbon dioxide.  

 

Our research is centered on developing a low-cost and submersible hydrogen production particle that can split water molecules under the sun, emulating the core functions of photosynthesis. Each particle is a complete hydrogen generator that contains a novel high voltage solar cell bonded to chemical catalysts by a proprietary encapsulation coating.  On September 15, 2015, we announced that we had surpassed the critical voltage (1.5 Volts) threshold to split water molecules for renewable hydrogen fuel production. We believe this is an extremely important step towards commercialization, as 1.5 V is the minimum voltage needed to produce hydrogen in real world systems.

 

Currently, the strategy of partnering with both the University of Iowa and University of California, Santa Barbara (“UCSB”), has advanced our technology significantly. In November of 2014, the University of Iowa was added to the research and development team, giving us the support of two leading universities as we continue our pursuit of commercially viable renewable hydrogen. On October 15, 2015, we extended the term of our agreement with the University of Iowa until April 30, 2016. As the technology progresses, the University of Iowa team will continue to focus on increasing the voltage of the technology, while the UCSB team will focus more on the technology’s production aspects and cost models for scaled up systems. We anticipate continuing this strategy of leveraging our existing relationship, as well as potentially exploring relationships with other leading universities, to continue developing our technology.

 

Now that we have surpassed the 1.5 V threshold required for hydrogen fuel production in real world systems, we will identify the next steps in terms of scaling up the technology. Following this breakthrough, we will focus our efforts on increasing the hydrogen production efficiencies of these particles by bonding the ideal fuel production catalyst to the low-cost, high-voltage solar cell. In order to achieve this, the Company is currently exploring two parallel approaches. The first is to identify materials that interface with well-known hydrogen production catalysts, such as the platinum on solar particles, to improve sunlight-to-hydrogen conversion efficiency. The second is to pursue methods that further increase photo voltages of solar particles to greater than 1.7 V that allow integration of cheaper earth abundant catalysts without significant loss in hydrogen production efficiency. We believe this will bring us closer to developing a prototype or pilot.

Critical Accounting Policies

 

Our discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based upon our financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities. On an ongoing basis, we evaluate our estimates, including those related to impairment of property, plant and equipment, intangible assets, deferred tax assets and fair value computation using the Black Scholes option pricing model. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions, such as the trading value of our common stock and estimated future undiscounted cash flows, that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying value of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions; however, we believe that our estimates, including those for the above-described items, are reasonable.

 

Use of Estimates

 

In accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, management utilizes estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements as well as the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. These estimates and assumptions relate to recording net revenue, collectability of accounts receivable, useful lives and impairment of tangible and intangible assets, accruals, income taxes, inventory realization, stock-based compensation expense, Black Scholes valuation model inputs, derivative liabilities and other factors. Management believes it has exercised reasonable judgment in deriving these estimates. Consequently, a change in conditions could affect these estimates.

 

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

Fair value of financial instruments, requires disclosure of the fair value information, whether or not recognized in the balance sheet, where it is practicable to estimate that value. As of September 30, 2015, the amounts reported for cash, accrued interest and other expenses, notes payables, and derivative liability approximate the fair value because of their short maturities.

 

We adopted ASC Topic 820 for financial instruments measured as fair value on a recurring basis. ASC Topic 820 defines fair value, established a framework for measuring fair value in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States and expands disclosures about fair value measurements.

 

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

 

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

 

Management reviewed currently issued pronouncements during the nine months ended September 30, 2015, and does not believe that any other recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting standards if currently adopted would have a material effect on the accompanying condensed financial statements.

Results of Operations for the Three Months Ended September 30, 2015 compared to Three Months Ended September 30, 2014.

 

Operating Expenses

 

Operating expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2015 were $143,989 and $117,313 for the prior period ended September 30, 2014. The net increase of $26,676 in operating expenses consisted primarily of the research and development cost associated with outside consulting in the amount of $21,735, with an overall increase in general and administrative expenses of $4,941.

 

Other Income/(Expenses)

 

Other income and (expenses) for the three months ended September 30, 2015 were $2,201,232 and $2,726,568 for the prior period ended September 30, 2014. The decrease of $525,336 in other income and (expenses) was the result of a decrease in net gain on change in fair value of the derivative instruments of $471,682, with an increase in amortization of debt discount of $41,560, and interest expense of $12,094.

 

Net Income

 

For the three months ended September 30, 2015, our net income was $2,057,243 as compared to $2,609,255 for the prior period September 30, 2014. The decrease of $552,012in net income was related primarily to other income and (expenses) due to a decrease in non-cash cost associated with the fair value of the convertible notes. The Company has not generated any revenues.

 

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

 

Liquidity is the ability of a company to generate funds to support its current and future operations, satisfy its obligations, and otherwise operate on an ongoing basis. Significant factors in the management of liquidity are funds generated by operations, levels of accounts receivable and accounts payable and capital expenditures.

 

As of September 30, 2015, we had a working capital deficit of $11,985,337 as compared to $14,072,573 as of June 30, 2015. This decrease in working capital deficit of $2,087,236 was due primarily to an increase in cash, accounts payable, accrued expenses, convertible notes, offset with a decrease in non-cash derivative liability.

 

Cash flow used in operating activities was $119,075 for the three months ended September 30, 2015 and $115,795 for the prior period ended September 30, 2014. The increase in cash used by operating activities was primarily due to an increase in accounts payable, accrued expenses, amortization of debt discount, with a decrease in deposits and non-cash loss on change in derivative liability. The Company has had no revenues.

 

Cash used in investing activities for the three months ended September 30, 2015 was $0, compared to $2,000 for the prior period ended September 30, 2014. The decrease in investing activities was due to the purchase of tangible assets in the prior period, compared to no purchases in the current period.

 

Cash provided by financing activities during the three months ended September 30, 2015 was $150,000 and $100,000 for the prior period ended September 30, 2014. The increase in financing activities was due to equity financing with convertible notes through private placements during the current period.

Our financial statements as of September 30, 2015 have been prepared under the assumption that we will continue as a going concern for the three months ended September 30, 2015. Liggett, Vogt, & Webb P.A., in their report dated September 23, 2015, on our financial statements, included an explanatory paragraph expressing substantial doubt in our ability to continue as a going concern without additional capital becoming available. Our ability to continue as a going concern ultimately is dependent on our ability to generate a profit which is dependent upon our ability to obtain additional equity or debt financing, attain further operating efficiencies and, ultimately, to achieve profitable operations. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

  

The condensed financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis of accounting, which contemplates continuity of operations, realization of assets and liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business. The accompanying condensed financial statements do not reflect any adjustments that might result if we are unable to continue as a going concern. During the three months ended September 30, 2015, we did not generate any revenues, incurred net income of $2,057,243 and cash used in operations of $119,075. As of September 30, 2015, we had a working capital deficiency of $11,985,337 and a shareholders’ deficit of $11,947,711. These factors, among others raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. Our independent auditors, in their report on our audited financial statements for the year ended June 30, 2015 expressed substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. Our ability of us to continue as a going concern and suitability of using the going concern basis is dependent upon, among other things, additional cash infusion. We have obtained funds from our shareholders. In the three months ended September 30, 2015, we obtained funding through the sale of our securities. Management believes that we will be able to continue to raise funds through the sale of our securities to existing and new investors. Management believes that funding from existing and prospective new investors and future revenue will provide the additional cash needed to meet our obligations as they become due, and will allow the development of our core business operations.

 

PLAN OF OPERATION AND FINANCING NEEDS

 

Our plan of operation within the next twelve months is to further research, develop, and protect our technology.  We expect to incur additional expenses in prosecuting our primary patent.

 

Working with both the University of Iowa and University of California, Santa Barbara (“UCSB”), gives us the support of two leading universities as we continue our pursuit of commercially viable renewable hydrogen. As the technology progresses, the University of Iowa team will continue to focus on increasing the voltage of the technology, while the UCSB team will focus more on the technology’s production aspects and cost models for scaled up systems. We anticipate continuing this strategy of leveraging our existing relationship, as well as potentially exploring relationships with other leading universities, to continue developing our technology.

 

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

 

We do not have any off balance sheet arrangements that are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, revenues or expenses, result of operations, liquidity or capital expenditures.
