NOTE 1. ORGANIZATION
Ascent Solar Technologies, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiary (collectively, the “Company") is currently 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 January 28, 2022 as of 5:00 pm Eastern Time, the Company effected a reverse stock split of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Common Stock”) at a ratio of one-for-five thousand (the “Reverse Stock Split”). The Company’s common stock began trading on a split-adjusted basis at 9:30 am Eastern Time on January 31, 2022. Stockholders also received one whole share of Common Stock in lieu of a fractional share and no fractional shares were issued. All shares and per share amounts in the condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes have been retroactively adjusted to give effect to the Reverse Stock Split.
Following the Reverse Stock Split, the Company’s issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock were decreased from approximately 23.7 billion pre-split shares to 4.8 million post-split shares. In connection with the Reverse Stock Split effectiveness, the number of authorized shares of the Company's Common Stock were decreased from 30 billion to 500 million shares.
NOTE 2. BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The accompanying, unaudited, condensed consolidated financial statements have been derived from the accounting records of the Company as of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, and the results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021. 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, 2021 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, 2021. 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, 2021.
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 six months ended June 30, 2022 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2022.
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, 2021. There have been no significant changes to our accounting policies as of June 30, 2022.

Revenue Recognition:
Product revenue. The Company recognizes revenue for the sale of PV modules and other equipment sales at a point in time following the transfer of control of such products to the customer, which typically occurs upon shipment or delivery depending on the terms of the underlying contracts. For module and other equipment sales contracts that contain multiple performance obligations, the Company allocates the transaction price to each performance obligation identified in the contract based on relative standalone selling prices, or estimates of such prices, and recognizes the related revenue as control of each individual product is transferred to the customer.
During the three months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, the Company recognized product revenue of $627,571 and $380,488, respectively. During the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, the Company recognized product revenue of $681,781 and $545,646, respectively. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, one customer comprised 91% and 84%, respectively, of the total product revenue. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, the same customer comprised 96% and 80%, respectively, of the total product revenue.
Milestone and engineering revenue. Each milestone and engineering arrangement is a separate performance obligation. The transaction price is estimated using the most likely amount method and revenue is recognized as the performance obligation is satisfied through achieving manufacturing, cost, or engineering targets. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, the Company recognized total Milestone and engineering revenue of $10,000 and $522,000, respectively, of which, $0 and $512,000, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, respectively, was earned from TubeSolar AG (“TubeSolar”), a significant existing stakeholder in the Company and a related party. The Company did not have Milestone and engineering revenue during the three and six months ended June 30, 2021.
Government contracts revenue. Revenue from government research and development contracts is generated under terms that are cost plus fee or firm fixed price. The Company generally recognizes this revenue over time using cost-based input methods, which recognizes revenue and gross profit as work is performed based on the relationship between actual costs incurred compared to the total estimated costs of the contract. In applying cost-based input methods of revenue recognition, the Company uses the actual costs incurred relative to the total estimated costs to determine our progress towards contract completion and to calculate the corresponding amount of revenue to recognize.
Cost based input methods of revenue recognition are considered a faithful depiction of the Company’s efforts to satisfy long-term government research and development contracts and therefore reflect the performance obligations under such contracts. Costs incurred that do not contribute to satisfying the Company’s performance obligations are excluded from the input methods of revenue recognition as the amounts are not reflective of transferring control under the contract. Costs incurred towards contract completion may include direct costs plus allowable indirect costs and an allocable portion of the fixed fee. If actual and estimated costs to complete a contract indicate a loss, provision is made currently for the loss anticipated on the contract.
No government contract revenue was recognized during the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021.
Accounts Receivable. As of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the Company had an accounts receivable, net balance of $836,074 and $49,250, respectively. As of June 30, 2022, one customer comprised 49% and a second customer comprised 48% of the total net accounts receivable balance. As of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the Company had an allowance for doubtful accounts of $26,000 and $26,000, respectively.
Deferred revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2022 was as follows:

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 2.4 million shares of dilutive shares were excluded from the three and six months period ended June 30, 2022 EPS calculation as their impact is antidilutive. Approximately 29.1 million shares were excluded from the three month period ended June 30, 2021 EPS calculation as their impact is antidilutive. There were approximately 29.0 million shares of dilutive shares for the six months period ended June 30, 2021.
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 smaller reporting 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 and can be adopted using either a modified retrospective or a fully retrospective method of transition. 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 June 30, 2022 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 year ended December 31, 2021, the Company entered into multiple financing agreements to fund operations. Further discussion of these transactions can be found in Notes 8, 9, 10, and 11 in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021.
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 six months ended June 30, 2022 the Company used $5,375,684 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 June 30, 2022, the Company has a working capital deficit of $1,085,161. As such, cash liquidity is not sufficient for the next twelve months and will require additional financing.
The Company continues to accelerate sales and marketing efforts related to its consumer and military solar products and specialty PV application strategies through expansion of its sales and distribution channels. The Company continues activities related to securing additional financing through strategic or financial investors, but there is no assurance the Company will be able to raise additional capital on acceptable terms or at all. If the Company's revenues do not increase rapidly, and/or additional financing is not obtained, the Company will be required to significantly curtail operations to reduce costs and/or sell assets. Such actions would likely have an adverse impact on the Company's future operations.
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.
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.

NOTE 5. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
On September 15, 2021, the Company entered into a Long-Term Supply and Joint Development Agreement (“JDA”) with TubeSolar. 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. Additionally, the Company will receive (i) up to $4 million of non-recurring engineering (“NRE”) fees, (ii) up to $13.5 million of payments upon achievement of certain agreed upon 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. $500,000 of NRE revenue and no PV Foil revenue were recognized under the JDA during the six months ended June 30, 2022.
The Company and TubeSolar have also jointly established Ascent Solar Technologies Germany GmbH (“Ascent Germany”), in which TubeSolar holds of 30% of the entity. Ascent Germany was established to operate a PV manufacturing facility in Germany that will produce and deliver PV Foils exclusively to TubeSolar. Until Ascent Germany’s 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 accounts for this investment as an equity method investment as it does not have control of this entity, but does have significant influence over the activities that most significantly impact the entity’s operations and financial performance. The Company contributed $83,559 to Ascent Germany during the six months ended June 30, 2022. The Company currently cannot quantify its maximum exposure in this entity.

NOTE 11. SERIES A PREFERRED STOCK
As of January 1, 2022, there were 48,100 shares of Series A Preferred Stock outstanding. Holders of Series A Preferred Stock are entitled to cumulative dividends at a rate of 8% per annum when and if declared by the Board of Directors at its sole discretion. The dividends may be paid in cash or in the form of common stock (valued at 10% below market price, but not to exceed the lowest closing price during the applicable measurement period), at the discretion of the Board of Directors. The dividend rate on the Series A Preferred Stock is indexed to the Company's stock price and subject to adjustment. In addition, the Series A Preferred Stock contains a make-whole provision whereby, conversion or redemption of the preferred stock within 4 years of issuance will require dividends for the full four year period to be paid by the Company in cash or common stock (valued at 10% below market price, but not to exceed the lowest closing price during the applicable measurement period). This make-whole provision expired in June 2017.
The Series A Preferred Stock may be converted into shares of common stock at the option of the Company if the closing price of the common stock exceeds $1,160,000, as adjusted, for twenty consecutive trading days, or by the holder at any time. The Company has the right to redeem the Series A Preferred Stock at a price of $8.00 per share, plus any accrued and unpaid dividends, plus the make-whole amount (if applicable). At June 30, 2022, the preferred shares were not eligible for conversion to common shares at the option of the Company. The holder of the preferred shares may convert to common shares at any time. After making adjustment for the Company’s prior reverse stock splits, all 48,100 outstanding Series A preferred shares are convertible into less than one common share. Upon any conversion (whether at the option of the Company or the holder), the holder is entitled to receive any accrued but unpaid dividends.
Except as otherwise required by law (or with respect to approval of certain actions), the Series A Preferred Stock shall have no voting rights. Upon any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company, after payment or provision for payment of debts and other liabilities of the Company, the holders of Series A Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receive, pari passu with any distribution to the holders of common stock of the Company, an amount equal to $8.00 per share of Series A Preferred Stock plus any accrued and unpaid dividends.
As of June 30, 2022, there were 48,100 shares of Series A Preferred Stock outstanding and accrued and unpaid dividends of $440,917.
NOTE 12. SERIES 1A PREFERRED STOCK
Series 1A Preferred Stock – Tranche 1 Closing
As of January 1, 2022, there were 3,700 shares of Series 1A Preferred Stock outstanding; 1,300 shares owned by Crowdex Investment, LLC (“Crowdex”) and 2,400 shares owned by TubeSolar.

Shares of the Series 1A Preferred Stock are convertible into common stock at a fixed conversion price equal to $0.50 per common share, subject to standard ratable anti-dilution adjustments.
Outstanding shares of Series 1A Preferred Stock are entitled to vote together with the holders of common stock as a single class (on an as-converted to common stock basis) on any matter presented to the stockholders of the Company for their action or consideration at any meeting of stock holders (or written consent of stockholders in lieu of meeting).
Holders of the Series 1A Preferred Stock are not entitled to any fixed rate of dividends.

NOTE 14. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
Private Placement Offering of Bridge Promissory Note
On August 4, 2022, the Company received $1,000,000 of gross proceeds pursuant to an unsecured convertible promissory note (the “Bridge Note”) sold and issued to Lucro Investments VCC – ESG Opportunities Fund (“Lucro”), an affiliate of Fleur. The Bridge Note matures on February 3, 2023 (the “Maturity Date”), and does not bear interest (except in the event of a default). If the Company completes a “Qualified Financing”, the $1 million outstanding principal amount of the Bridge Note will automatically convert into the type of securities offered by the Company in the Qualified Financing on the same pricing, terms and conditions as specified in the Qualified Financing. A Qualified Financing is defined as (i) the Company’s issuance and sale of shares of its equity or equity-linked securities to investors, (ii) on or before the Maturity Date, (iii) in a financing with total proceeds to the Company of at least $5,000,000 (inclusive of the conversion of the $1,000,000 Bridge Note), and (iv) which financing would result in the listing of the Company’s common stock on the Nasdaq Capital Market (“Nasdaq”).
Private Placement Offering of Common Stock and Warrant
On August 8, 2022, the Company entered into a securities purchase agreement (“SPA”) with Lucro for the private placement (the “Private Placement”) of an aggregate of 943,397 shares (the “Shares”) of the Company’s common stock and warrants exercisable for up to an additional 1,415,095 shares of Common Stock (the “Warrants”). The Shares and Warrants are being sold in units (the “Units”) at a fixed price of $5.30 per Unit. Each Unit consists of (i) one Share and (ii) Warrants exercisable for 1.5 shares of Common Stock.
Each Warrant will be exercisable for five years at an exercise price of $5.30 per one share of Common Stock. The holder may not exercise the Warrants to the extent that, after giving effect to such exercise, the holder would beneficially own in excess of 9.99% of the shares of Common Stock outstanding, or, at the holder’s election on not less than 61 days’ notice, 19.99%. The Warrants are exercisable for cash. If, at the time the holder exercises any Warrants, a registration statement registering the issuance of the shares of Common Stock underlying the Warrants is not then effective or available for the issuance of such shares, then the Warrants may be net exercised on a cashless basis according to a formula set forth in the Warrants.
At closing, the Company will receive $4,000,000 of gross proceeds from the Private Placement and the $1,000,000 Bridge Note will be cancelled and converted into Common Stock and Warrants.
The closing of the Private Placement is conditioned on the Company receiving conditional approval of the listing of its shares of Common Stock on the Nasdaq Capital Market, conditioned solely on the consummation of the Private Placement. The closing of the Private Placement is also subject to other customary closing conditions.
The closing of the Private Placement is expected to close no later than August 31, 2022. Shortly after the closing of the Private Placement, the Company expects that its shares of Common Stock will begin trading on the Nasdaq Capital Market.
