DAYSTAR TECHNOLOGIES, INC.
(A DEVELOPMENT STAGE ENTERPRISE)
(Unaudited)
1. Organization and Nature of Operations
DayStar Technologies, Inc. (the Company) is a development stage enterprise that was formed in 1997 for the purpose of developing, manufacturing and marketing innovative products to the solar photovoltaic (PV) industry. From its inception, the Company has focused primarily on thin film copper indium gallium di-selenide (CIGS) solar products. The Company has developed a proprietary one-step sputter deposition process and manufactured a commercial scale deposition tool to apply high efficiency CIGS material over large area glass substrates in a continuous fashion. The Company believes this proprietary tool, when combined with commercially available thin film manufacturing equipment, will provide a critically differentiated manufacturing process to produce low-cost monolithically integrated, CIGS-on-glass modules that address the grid-tied, ground-based PV market. The Company is currently seeking strategic partners and investors to commercialize its CIGS technology utilizing its proprietary deposition equipment.
Certain information and note disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP) have been omitted from these condensed unaudited financial statements. These condensed unaudited financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto included in the Companys Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010. The condensed balance sheet as of December 31, 2010 has been derived from audited financial statements. The results of operations for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010 are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for the full year.
In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring accruals, have been made to present fairly the Companys financial position at September 30, 2011 and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010 and for the period from July 1, 2005 (Inception of the Development Stage) to September 30, 2011.
Reverse Stock SplitOn April 23, 2010, the Companys shareholders approved a reverse stock split of its issued and outstanding common shares in the range of one-for-five to one-for-nine, with the final ratio to be selected by the Companys Board of Directors. The total authorized shares of common stock remained unchanged at 120,000,000. The Board of Directors selected a ratio of one-for-nine and the reverse stock split was effective on May 11, 2010. Trading of the Companys common stock on the NASDAQ Capital Market on a split-adjusted basis began at the open of trading on May 12, 2010. The reverse stock split affected all shares of the Companys common stock, as well as options to purchase the Companys common stock and other equity incentive awards, as well as convertible debt instruments and warrants that were outstanding immediately prior to the effective date of the reverse stock split. All references to common shares and per-share data for prior periods have been retroactively restated to reflect the reverse stock split as if it had occurred at the beginning of the earliest period presented.
2. Liquidity and Future Operations
The Companys financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2010 and for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the settlement of liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business. The Company is in the development stage, and as such, has historically reported net losses, including a net loss of $2.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2011. The Company anticipates it will continue to incur losses in the future as it seeks strategic partnerships and investments to commercialize its technology. As noted herein, as a result of the Companys current liquidity, there is substantial doubt as to its ability to continue as a going concern. In order to continue operations, pursue strategic partnerships and investments, and commercialize its technology, the Company requires immediate and substantial additional capital beyond its current cash on hand.
In order to address its current financial requirements, on February 2, 2011, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the Purchase Agreement) with Socius CG II, Ltd. (the Investor or Socius). Pursuant to the terms of the Purchase Agreement, the Company has the right over a term of two years, subject to certain conditions, to demand through separate tranche notices that the Investor purchase up to a total of $5.0 million of Series B preferred stock.
The Company is currently seeking long-term strategic partnerships and investments to commercialize its CIGS technology utilizing its proprietary deposition equipment. Those potential partnerships, if consummated, could include joint ventures, licensing agreements, contract manufacturing agreements, a merger with or an acquisition of DayStar. Although the Company continues to seek strategic investors or partners, in light of its current cash position, the Company may in the near term be forced to cease operations. The Company has implemented cost savings measures to limit its cash outflows while pursuing strategic investments and partnerships.
8
An inability to raise additional funding in the very near term may cause the Company to file a voluntary petition for reorganization under the United States Bankruptcy Code, liquidate assets, and/or pursue other such actions that could adversely affect future operations. Given current market conditions and available opportunities, there is substantial doubt as to the Companys ability to complete a financing in the time frame required to remain in operation. A wide variety of factors relating to the Company and external conditions could adversely affect its ability to secure additional funding and the terms of any funding that it secures.
3. Significant Accounting Policies
Cash EquivalentsThe Company considers all highly liquid debt securities purchased with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. The Companys cash and cash equivalents are maintained with major financial institutions within the United States and at times the balances with these institutions exceed the amount of federal insurance coverage on such deposits.
Property and EquipmentProperty and equipment is stated at cost. Depreciation is computed using straight-line and an accelerated method over estimated useful lives of 3 to 10 years. Expenditures for maintenance and repairs, which do not materially extend the useful lives of property and equipment, are charged to operations as incurred. When property or equipment is retired or otherwise disposed of, the property accounts are relieved of costs and accumulated depreciation and any resulting gain or loss is recognized.
Revenue RecognitionThe Company recognizes revenue in accordance with the FASB ASC 605 Revenue Recognition and Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC)s Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 104, Revenue Recognition (SAB 104) which require that four basic criteria must be met before revenue can be recognized: (1) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists; (2) delivery has occurred or services rendered; (3) the sellers price to the buyer is fixed and determinable; and (4) collectability is reasonably assured. Since inception of the development stage on July 1, 2005, the Company has earned minimal amounts of product revenue.
Since inception of the development stage on July 1, 2005, the principal source of revenue for the Company has been from government funded research and development contracts and grants. Grant revenue is recognized when the Company fulfills obligations as set forth under the grant. Terms of the grant reflected in the accompanying financial statements require the Company to maintain specified employment criteria over a five year period. If the Company fails to meet the specified criteria, it must repay the unearned portion of the grant. As a result, the Company reported a liability of $520,000 and $420,000 at September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively.
Research and development contract revenue is recognized as the Company meets milestones as set forth under the contract. The Company recognized no revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively.
Research and Development CostsResearch and development costs are expensed as incurred. Funds obtained from government agencies that represent a cost reimbursement activity are reflected as reductions of Research and Development expenses.
Use of EstimatesThe preparation of the Companys financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires the Companys management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in these financial statements and accompanying notes. Significant estimates include the useful lives of the Companys property and equipment, the life and realization of the Companys capitalized costs associated with its patents and the Companys valuation allowance associated with its deferred tax asset. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Share-Based CompensationThe Company follows the provisions of FASB ASC 718 CompensationStock Compensation, which requires the measurement and recognition of compensation expense for all share-based payment awards to employees and directors based on estimated fair values. Additionally, the Company follows the SECs Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 107 Share-Based Payment (SAB 107), as amended by Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 110 (SAB 110), which provides supplemental application guidance based on the views of the SEC. The Company estimates the expected term, which represents the period of time from the grant date that the Company expects its stock options to remain outstanding, using the simplified method as permitted by SAB 107 and SAB 110. Under this method, the expected term is estimated as the mid-point between the time the options vest and their contractual terms. The Company continues to apply the simplified method because it does not have sufficient historical exercise data to provide a reasonable basis upon which to estimate the expected terms due to the limited period of time its equity shares have been publicly traded and the limited number of its options which have so far vested and become eligible for exercise.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2011, the Company granted options to purchase 335,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $1.55$1.71 per share, all with a contractual life of ten years. Options to purchase 225,185 shares of common stock were forfeited during the nine months ended September 30, 2011. During the nine months ended September 30, 2011 there were restricted stock units granted to purchase 365,000 shares of common stock and there were no restricted stock units forfeited.
Subsequent to September 30, 2011 and through the date of this filing, no options or restricted stock units were granted or forfeited.
Reclassifications Certain reclassifications have been made to the 2010 financial statements to conform to the 2011 presentation. Such reclassifications had no impact on net loss.
Impact of Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
In April 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2011-04, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP and IFRS. This ASU amends current fair value measurement and disclosure guidance to include increased transparency around valuation input and investment categorization. ASU 2011-04 is effective for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2011, with early adoption not permitted. The Company does not believe that the adoption of ASU 2011-04 in the first quarter of 2012 will have an impact on its financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.
In June 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-05, Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Presentation of Comprehensive Income. ASU 2011-05 allows an entity to present components of net income and other comprehensive income in one continuous statement, referred to as the statement of comprehensive income, or in two separate, but consecutive statements. ASU 2011-05 eliminates the option to present the components of other comprehensive income as part of the statement of changes in stockholders equity. While the new guidance changes the presentation of comprehensive income, there are no changes to the components that are recognized in net income or other comprehensive income under current accounting guidance. ASU 2011-05 is effective for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2011 and must be applied retrospectively. The Company does not believe that the adoption of ASU 2011-05 will have an impact on its financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.
4. Secured Convertible Promissory Notes and Warrants
Beginning in September 2009, the Company has entered into a series of agreements with various lenders (the Lenders) to provide bridge financing to the Company in exchange for notes and warrants. With the exception of the traditional loans indicated in the table below, these notes (the Notes) are convertible into shares of the Companys common stock and each contain terms of six months, are secured by all assets of the Company, and accrue interest at rates of between 8 10% per annum. The Lenders may, at their option at any time prior to payment in full of the Notes, elect to convert all or any part of the entire outstanding principal amount of the Notes plus the accrued interest on the then outstanding balance into shares of the Companys common stock at the conversion price specified in each of the Notes (subject to adjustment in the event of any stock splits, stock dividends or other recapitalization of common stock subsequent to the date of such sale or issuance). If between the date of the Notes and such conversion, the Company issues or sells any shares of capital stock, other than certain excluded securities (a Future Issuance), at a per share price below the original conversion price specified in the Notes, then the conversion price of the Notes will be reduced to the price of such Future Issuance. As of September 30, 2011, the aggregate principal balance of all outstanding Notes was $4,805,000 and the Notes were convertible into 19,804,349 shares of common stock.
The Notes conversion features were determined to be embedded derivative liabilities and therefore were bifurcated from the Notes and recorded as a discount to the Notes at their fair value at issuance and are required to be adjusted to fair value at the end of each reporting period. The change in fair value of the conversion features, calculated using the Black Scholes model, is recorded as a gain or loss on derivative liabilities. The conversion feature fair values at September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010 were $39,978 and $3,854,272, respectively. The change in fair value of the conversion features resulted in a loss on derivative liabilities of $30,150 during the three months ended September 30, 2011 and a gain on derivative liabilities of $4,323,393 during the three months ended September 30, 2010. The change in fair value of the conversion features during the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010 resulted in a gain on derivative liabilities of $3,865,916 and $5,078,885, respectively.
10
The proceeds remaining, if any, after allocation to the conversion features are allocated on a relative fair value basis between the Notes and the warrants and the amounts allocated to the warrants, calculated using the Black Scholes model, are recorded as additional note discount. The discount attributable to the issuance date aggregate fair value of the conversion features and warrants, is being amortized using the effective interest method over the terms of the Notes. During the three months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, $122,653 and $1,809,947, respectively, of this discount was amortized to expense. During the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, $934,715 and $3,306,963, respectively, of this discount was amortized to expense.
The warrants issued in connection with these Notes are exercisable upon issuance (with the exception of the warrants issued to Dynamic Worldwide Solar Energy, LLC) and entitle the Lenders to purchase up to 6,605,664 shares of common stock at exercise prices ranging from $0.52 $1.70 per share, as adjusted for standard anti-dilution provisions and are exercisable for a period of 2 7 years from their respective issuance dates.

5. Derivative Liabilities
As described in Note 4 Secured Convertible Promissory Notes and Warrants, the Company is accounting for the conversion features in its secured convertible notes as embedded derivative liabilities. The Company currently does not use hedging contracts to manage the risk of its overall exposure to interest rate and foreign currency changes. The conversion features are not considered hedging instruments.
The conversion feature liability on the balance sheet at September 30, 2011 and 2010, and the change in the liability for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010 is summarized as follows:

6. Funding Commitment
On February 2, 2011 the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the Purchase Agreement) with Socius CG II, Ltd. (the Investor or Socius). Pursuant to the terms of the Purchase Agreement, the Company has the right over a term of two years, subject to certain conditions, to demand through separate tranche notices that the Investor purchase up to a total of $5.0 million of Series B preferred stock.
Under the Purchase Agreement, in connection with each tranche, Socius will receive the right (the Investment Right) to purchase an amount of shares of our common stock equal in value to the amount of the tranche at a per share price equal to the closing bid price of the common stock on the date preceding our delivery of the tranche notice (the Investment Price). The Investment Right will be automatically exercised for shares of common stock at the time of each tranche. In addition, in connection with each tranche notice, a portion of a warrant issued to Socius under the Purchase Agreement with an aggregate exercise price equal to 35% of the amount of the tranche will vest and immediately be exercised at a per share price equal to the Investment Price.
Socius may pay for the shares it elects to purchase under the investment right at its option, in cash or a secured promissory note. Socius may pay for the shares it elects to purchase under the warrant at its option, in cash or a secured promissory note. Any such promissory note will bear interest at 2.0% per year and be secured by securities owned by Socius with a fair market value equal to the principal amount of the promissory note. The entire principal balance and interest on the promissory note is due and payable on the fourth anniversary of the date of the promissory note, and may be applied by the Company toward the redemption of shares of Series B preferred stock held by Socius.
12
Holders of Series B Preferred Stock will be entitled to receive dividends, which will accrue in shares of Series B Preferred Stock on an annual basis at a rate equal to 10% per annum from the issuance date. Accrued dividends will be payable upon redemption of the Series B Preferred Stock or upon the liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company. The Series B Preferred Stock ranks, with respect to dividend right and upon liquidation:
| Senior to the Companys common stock and any other series or class of preferred stock other than a class or series of preferred stock intended to be listed for trading; and |
| Junior to all existing and future indebtedness of the company and any class or series of preferred stock intended to be listed for trading. |
The Series B Preferred Stock has a liquidation preference per share equal to the original price per share thereof plus all accrued dividends thereon (the Liquidation Value), and is subject to repurchase by the Company following the consummation of certain fundamental transactions by the Company. Upon or after the fourth anniversary of the applicable issuance date, the Company has the right, at its option, to redeem all or a portion of the shares of Series B Preferred Stock at the Liquidation Value. The Company also has the right, at its option, to redeem all or a portion of the shares of Series B Preferred Stock, at a price per share equal to: (i) 136% of the Liquidation Value if redeemed on or after the applicable issuance date but prior to the first anniversary of the applicable issuance date, (ii) 127% of the Liquidation Value if redeemed on or after the first anniversary but prior to the second anniversary of the applicable issuance date, (iii) 118% of the Liquidation Value if redeemed on or after the second anniversary but prior to the third anniversary of the applicable issuance date, and (iv) 109% of the Liquidation Value if redeemed on or after the third anniversary but prior to the fourth anniversary of the applicable issuance date.
Under the terms of the Purchase Agreement, the Company was obligated to pay Socius a commitment fee for committing to purchase the Series B Preferred Stock in the form of shares of common stock or cash, at the Companys option. The amount of the commitment fee was the number of shares determined by dividing $294,120 by the closing bid price of the Companys common stock on the trading day immediately preceding the date on which the commitment fee is paid, or $250,000 in cash. If not earlier paid, the commitment fee was payable in full on the six-month anniversary of the effective date of the Purchase Agreement. On August 2, 2011, the Company transferred ownership of 744,607 shares of its common stock, including 587,989 newly issued shares in full payment of the commitment fee.
The Companys ability to submit a tranche notice is subject to certain conditions including, among others, that: (1) a registration statement covering our sale of shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of the additional investment right contained in the Purchase Agreement or upon exercise of the warrants issued to Socius in connection with the tranche is effective and (2) the issuance of such shares (together with all other shares beneficially owned) would not result in Socius and its affiliates beneficially owning more than 9.99% of the Companys common stock.
As of September 30, 2011, the Company has not executed a tranche under this facility.
7. Liability Settlements
On January 26, 2011 the Company issued 254,777 shares of common stock to Grenzebach Corporation (Grenzebach) and on February 2, 2011 the Company issued 290,323 shares of common stock to Reis GmbH & Co. KG Maschinenfabrik (Reis). These shares were issued in settlement of outstanding liabilities on the Companys balance sheet of $3,137,870 and related to the purchase of certain pieces of equipment. The settlement of these obligations and issuance of common stock resulted in $850,000 in restructuring expenses during the nine months ended September 30, 2011.
8. Subsequent Events
Bridge Financing
In November 2011, Michael Moretti agreed to loan the Company $125,000 and has advanced these funds for operating capital and general corporate purposes. The Company is currently in the process of finalizing and documenting this loan and expects the terms to be similar to those of its existing bridge loans as described in Note 4 Secured Convertible Promissory Notes and Warrants.

Item 2. | Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations |
The following discussion and analysis provides information that we believe is relevant to an assessment and understanding of our results of operation and financial condition. You should read this analysis in conjunction with our audited financial statements and related footnotes. This discussion and analysis contains statements of a forward-looking nature relating to future events or our future financial performance. These statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause our actual results, levels of activity, performance or achievements to be materially different from any future results, levels of activity, performance or achievements expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements, including those set forth in our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed on March 31, 2011 as well as Part II, Item 1A below.
Overview
We have developed a proprietary thin film deposition technology for solar photovoltaic (PV) products. We utilize a proprietary one-step sputter deposition process and have manufactured a commercial scale deposition tool to apply high-efficiency copper indium gallium diselenide (CIGS) material over large area glass substrates in a continuous fashion. We believe this proprietary tool, when combined with commercially available thin film manufacturing equipment, will provide a critically differentiated manufacturing process to produce low-cost monolithically integrated, CIGS-on-glass modules that address the grid-tied, ground-based PV market.
We believe this proprietary deposition process, when operated at an annual capacity of approximately 100 megawatts, will achieve a total module manufacturing cost of less than $1.00 per watt. This cost would be competitive with the lowest in the solar PV industry. Using this approach, we have achieved greater than 15% cell efficiencies over large areas on CIGS PV devices, and we believe that this approach will enable module efficiencies greater than 13%.
We are currently seeking strategic partners and investors to commercialize our CIGS technology utilizing our proprietary deposition equipment.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
The preparation of our financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses, and the related disclosures. A summary of those accounting policies can be found in the notes to our financial statements. Certain of our accounting policies are considered critical as they are both important to the portrayal of our financial condition and results of operations and require judgments on the part of management about matters that are uncertain. We have identified the following accounting policies that are important to the presentation of our financial condition and results of operations.
Property and Equipment. Property and equipment is stated at cost. Depreciation is computed using straight-line and an accelerated method over estimated useful lives of three to ten years. Expenditures for maintenance and repairs, which do not materially extend the useful lives of property and equipment, are charged to operations as incurred. When property or equipment is retired or otherwise disposed of, the property accounts are relieved of costs and accumulated depreciation and any resulting gain or loss is recognized.
Share-Based Compensation. We follow the provisions of FASB ASC 718 CompensationStock Compensation, which requires the measurement and recognition of compensation expense for all share-based payment awards to employees and directors based on estimated fair values. Additionally, we follow the SECs SAB No. 107, Share-Based Payment (SAB 107), as amended by SAB No. 110, which provides supplemental application guidance based on the views of the SEC.
Results of Operations
Comparison of the Three Months Ended September 30, 2011 and 2010
Certain reclassifications have been made to the 2010 financial information to conform to the 2011 presentation. Such reclassifications had no impact on net loss.
Research and development expenses. Research and development expenses were $207,173 for the three months ended September 30, 2011 compared to $210,869 for the three months ended September 30, 2010, a decrease of $3,696 or 2%. Research and development expenses for the third quarter of 2011 were fairly consistent with the same quarter in the prior year and reflected lower costs for personnel, facilities, and materials and supplies, as well as a decrease of $39,886 in share based compensation.
Selling, general and administrative expenses. Selling, general and administrative expenses were $336,748 for the three months ended September 30, 2011 compared to $1,328,056 for the three months ended September 30, 2010, a decrease of $991,308 or 75%. The decrease in selling, general and administrative expenses was primarily due to cost savings measures, including a reduction in our workforce and outside consultants and professional fees, as well as a decrease of $313,093 in share based compensation.
14
Restructuring. There were no restructuring expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2011. Restructuring expenses were $1,979,819 for the three months ended September 30, 2010. Restructuring expenses during the three months ended September 30, 2010 were due to impairment charges recorded on certain equipment.
Depreciation and amortization expense. Depreciation and amortization expense was $355,772 for the three months ended September 30, 2011 compared to $375,515 for the three months ended September 30, 2010, a decrease of $19,743 or 5%. The decrease in depreciation reflects the reduction in leasehold improvements and certain equipment as we closed our Newark, California manufacturing facility in 2010.
Interest expense. Interest expense was $237,729 for the three months ended September 30, 2011 compared to $185,610 for the three months ended September 30, 2010, an increase of $52,119 or 28%. The increase in interest expense was due to the increase in our outstanding notes issued in connection with our bridge financing, as well as interest expense on certain outstanding payables at September 30, 2011.
Amortization of note discount and financing costs. Amortization of note discount and financing costs was $122,653 for the three months ended September 30, 2011 compared to $1,809,947 for the three months ended September 30, 2010, a decrease of $1,687,294 or 93%. The convertible notes issued in connection with our bridge financing contain conversion features as well as warrants which result in discounts to the principal amount of the notes payable reflected on our balance sheet, based on the fair value of the warrants and conversion features. The discounts on the convertible notes are amortized using the effective interest method over the terms of the notes. In the third quarter of 2010, we restructured all of our existing convertible notes which resulted in the recording of new notes and corresponding discounts of which a significant portion was amortized to expense during the third quarter of 2010. The expense in the third quarter of 2011 reflects amortization of the discount on the notes issued in 2011, the principal amount of which was significantly lower than the restructured notes in 2010.
(Loss) Gain on derivative liabilities. Loss on derivative liabilities was $30,150 for the three months ended September 30, 2011 compared to a gain on derivative liabilities of $3,399,283 for the three months ended September 30, 2010. The conversion features on the convertible notes issued in conjunction with our bridge financing are considered derivative liabilities and are therefore required to be adjusted to fair value each quarter. A decrease in our stock price during the period results in a decrease in the liabilities and a gain on derivative liabilities. Conversely, an increase in our stock price during the period would result in an increase in the liabilities and a loss on derivative liabilities. During the three months ended September 30, 2010, the restructuring of our convertible notes led to an increase in the conversion feature liability on our balance sheet. A decrease in our stock price subsequent to the restructuring resulted in a decrease in the conversion liability and a significant gain on derivative liabilities during the third quarter of 2010. During the third quarter of 2011, a reduction in the conversion price of the outstanding notes caused an increase in the conversion feature liability and a loss on derivative liabilities.
Loss on extinguishment of debt. There was no loss on extinguishment of debt during the three months ended September 30, 2011. Loss on extinguishment of debt was $4,899,267 for the three months ended September 30, 2010. During the three months ended September 30, 2010, we restructured all of our existing convertible notes which resulted in the extinguishment of the original notes on our balance sheet and the recording of new notes and corresponding conversion features. The fair value of the conversion features for the restructured notes exceeded the principal amount of the notes and the excess of the fair value of the conversion features over the principal amount of the notes was charged to loss on extinguishment of debt.
Comparison of the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2011 and 2010
Certain reclassifications have been made to the 2010 financial information to conform to the 2011 presentation. Such reclassifications had no impact on net loss.
Research and development expenses. Research and development expenses were $1,046,944 for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 compared to $5,264,054 for the nine months ended September 30, 2010, a decrease of $4,217,110 or 80%. The decrease reflects cost savings measures which resulted in lower costs for personnel, facilities, and materials and supplies, as well as a decrease of $1,213,533 in share based compensation.
Selling, general and administrative expenses. Selling, general and administrative expenses were $2,028,292 for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 compared to $4,661,127 for the nine months ended September 30, 2010, a decrease of $2,632,835 or 56%. The decrease in selling, general and administrative expenses was primarily due to cost savings measures, including a reduction in our workforce and outside consultants and professional fees, as well as a decrease of $1,649,327 in share based compensation.
Restructuring. Restructuring expenses were $850,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 compared to $9,745,407 for the nine months ended September 30, 2010, a decrease of $8,895,407 or 91%. The restructuring expenses in 2011 resulted from impairment charges on certain equipment, as we have cancelled orders for such equipment and settled the outstanding obligations with the vendors. The settlement amounts which were paid in shares of our common stock were recorded as restructuring expense during the nine months ended September 30, 2011. During the nine months ended September 30, 2010, we recorded restructuring charges of $3,509,763 from the impairment of leasehold improvements and the write-off of non-cash deferred rent, upon closing our Newark, California manufacturing facility. Additionally, we recorded impairment charges of $6,235,644 on certain equipment during the nine months ended September 30, 2010.
15
Depreciation and amortization expense. Depreciation and amortization expense was $1,158,576 for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 compared to $1,745,367 for the nine months ended September 30, 2010, a decrease of $586,791 or 34%. The decrease in depreciation reflects the reduction in leasehold improvements and certain equipment as we closed our Newark, California manufacturing facility in 2010.
Interest expense. Interest expense was $583,298 for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 compared to $413,534 for the nine months ended September 30, 2010, an increase of $169,764 or 41%. The increase in interest expense was due to the increase in our outstanding notes issued in connection with our bridge financing, as well as interest expense on certain outstanding payables at September 30, 2011.
Amortization of note discount and financing costs. Amortization of note discount and financing costs was $934,715 for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 compared to $3,341,963 for the nine months ended September 30, 2010, a decrease of $2,407,248 or 72%. The convertible notes issued in connection with our bridge financing contain conversion features as well as warrants which result in discounts to the principal amount of the notes payable reflected on our balance sheet, based on the fair value of the warrants and conversion features. The discounts on the convertible notes are amortized using the effective interest method over the terms of the notes. In the third quarter of 2010, we restructured all of our existing convertible notes which resulted in the recording of new notes and corresponding discounts. The expense during the nine months ended September 30, 2010 includes amortization of the discount on the original notes as well as a significant portion of the discount on the restructured notes. The expense in the nine months ended September 30, 2011 reflects amortization of the discount on the notes issued in 2011, as well as the remainder of the discount on the notes restructured in 2010. The majority of the discount on the notes restructured in 2010 was amortized to expense during the latter half of 2010.
Gain on derivative liabilities. Gain on derivative liabilities was $3,865,916 for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 compared to $4,274,348 for the nine months ended September 30, 2010, a decrease of $408,432 or 10%. The conversion features on the convertible notes issued in conjunction with our bridge financing are considered derivative liabilities and are therefore required to be adjusted to fair value each quarter. A decrease in our stock price during the period results in a decrease in the liabilities and a gain on derivative liabilities. Conversely, an increase in our stock price during the period would result in an increase in the liabilities and a loss on derivative liabilities. During the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, our common stock price decreased which caused a decrease in the fair value of the conversion features and a gain on derivative liabilities.
Loss on extinguishment of debt. There was no loss on extinguishment of debt during the nine months ended September 30, 2011. Loss on extinguishment of debt was $4,899,267 for the nine months ended September 30, 2010. During the nine months ended September 30, 2010, we restructured all of our existing convertible notes which resulted in the extinguishment of the original notes on our balance sheet and the recording of new notes and corresponding conversion features. The fair value of the conversion features for the restructured notes exceeded the principal amount of the notes and the excess of the fair value of the conversion features over the principal amount of the notes was charged to loss on extinguishment of debt.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
At September 30, 2011, our cash and cash equivalents totaled $54,000 compared to $97,000 at December 31, 2010. Subsequent to September 30, 2011 and through November 14, 2011, we have received additional bridge financing of $125,000 to fund our operations.
We are in the development stage, and as such, have historically reported net losses, including a net loss of $2.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2011. We anticipate incurring losses in the future, as we seek strategic partnerships and investments to commercialize our technology, invest in research and development, and incur associated administrative and operating costs. Our financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2010 and the nine months ended September 30, 2011 have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the settlement of liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business. As noted herein, as a result of our current liquidity, there is substantial doubt as to our ability to continue as a going concern.
We have historically financed our operations primarily from proceeds of the sale of equity securities and the issuance of convertible notes. We presently do not have any bank lines of credit that provide us with an additional source of debt financing. In order to fund the costs associated with our continued development and commercialization efforts, we completed a registered public offering during the fourth quarter of 2007 in which we sold 1,916,667 shares of our common stock at $38.25 per share and generated net proceeds of approximately $68 million after deducting underwriting discounts and the fees and expenses of the offering. Upon receipt of the proceeds from the offering, we re-paid in full $9.2 million of existing indebtedness. We have used these proceeds to develop our proprietary deposition process and to build our prototype and commercial scale deposition tools. We are currently seeking strategic partnerships and investments to commercialize our CIGS technology utilizing our proprietary deposition equipment. Commercialization efforts, including continued development and administrative costs will require significant additional capital.
16
Beginning in September 2009, we have funded our operations through a series of bridge financing transactions in which we have issued convertible and traditional notes with an aggregate principal amount of $6.1 million and also issued warrants exercisable for shares of our common stock. Currently, $4.9 million of these notes remains outstanding.
In order to address our immediate capital requirements, in February 2011, we entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement with Socius CG II, Ltd. (the Investor or Socius). Pursuant to the terms of the Purchase Agreement, we have the right over a term of two years, subject to certain conditions, to demand through separate tranche notices that the Investor purchase up to a total of $5.0 million of Series B preferred stock. However, in order to continue operations, including development and commercialization efforts, we will require substantial additional capital beyond our current cash on hand and any funds received from the Socius transaction. We are seeking long-term strategic investments and partnerships to commercialize our technology. To date, we have been unable to raise substantial additional capital or complete an agreement with a strategic partner. Although we continue to seek strategic investors or partners, in light of our current cash position, we may in the near term be forced to cease or further curtail operations.
An inability to raise additional funding in the very near term may cause us to file a voluntary petition for reorganization under the United States Bankruptcy Code, liquidate assets, and/or pursue other such actions that could adversely affect future operations. A wide variety of factors relating to the Company including those described in the section entitled Risk Factors in Part I Item 1A in our Annual Report on Form 10-K, as well as external conditions, could adversely affect our ability to secure additional funding necessary to continue operations and the terms of any funding that we secure.
Commitments. At September 30, 2011, we had no outstanding purchase orders for equipment and improvements. Other commitments include rental payments under operating leases for office space and equipment, and commitments under employment contracts with our executive officers. These commitments are discussed further in the Commitments and Contingencies footnote to our financial statements in our Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements. The only off-balance sheet obligations are for operating leases and certain other commitments entered into in the ordinary course of business.
We lease 32,000 square feet of factory and office space in Milpitas, California under a lease which expires in December 2011. This facility is the location of our corporate headquarters as well as our products and proprietary deposition equipment and research and development tools.
Item 3. | Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk |
Our exposure to market risk for a change in interest rates relates primarily to interest earned on our cash and cash equivalents balance. We maintain our portfolio in high credit quality cash deposits and money market funds that invest in Treasury instruments with carrying values that approximate market value. Due to the short duration of our investment portfolio, we do not expect that a 10% change in interest rates would have a material effect on the fair market value of our cash and cash equivalents.
We also have market risk arising from changes in foreign currency exchange rates related to expenses and/or equipment we purchase from foreign businesses. Our payments related to these purchases may be denominated in foreign currency. We believe that such exposure does not present a significant risk due to the limited number of transactions and/or accounts payable denominated in foreign currency. Consequently, we do not believe that a 10% change in foreign currency exchange rates would have a significant effect on our future net income or cash flows.
Item 4. | Controls and Procedures |
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the Exchange Act), is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commissions rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and utilized, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, and management necessarily is required to apply its judgment in evaluating disclosure controls and procedures.
As required by Rule 13a-15(b) or Rule 15d-15(b) under the Exchange Act, we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) or Rule 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act, as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on the foregoing, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of September 30, 2011.
17
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended September 30, 2011 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
PART II. OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. | Legal Proceedings |
In the ordinary conduct of our business, we are subject to periodic lawsuits, investigations and claims, including routine employment matters. The following is a summary of the material legal proceedings to which we are a party at this time.
On January 6, 2010, New York State Urban Development, d/b/a/ Empire State Development Corporation (ESDC), filed a breach of contract action against us. This action stems from the Grant Disbursement Award we entered into with ESDC when we relocated our headquarters to New York in 2004. ESDC has been awarded a judgment of approximately $520,000 and is currently in the process of enforcing its judgment to recover such damages.
Item 1A. | Risk Factors |
Item 1A (Risk Factors) of our annual report on Form 10-K for our fiscal year ended December 31, 2010 (Annual Report) sets forth information relating to important risks and uncertainties that could materially adversely affect our business, financial condition or operating results. The risks and uncertainties described in our Annual Report do not constitute all the risk factors that pertain to our business but we do believe that they reflect the more important ones. Accordingly, you should review and consider such Risk Factors in making any investment decision with respect to our securities. An investment in our securities continues to involve a high degree of risk. There has been no material changes in the Risk Factors contained in our Annual Report.
Item 2. | Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds. |
On July 19, 2011 we entered into Purchase Agreements with Michael Moretti and Peter A. Lacey (each a Purchase Agreement, collectively, the Purchase Agreements). Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, each of Mr. Moretti and Mr. Lacey agreed to loan us $150,000 (the Loan) to fund operating capital and general corporate purposes. On July 19, 2011, we issued Mr. Moretti and Mr. Lacey (a) a Secured Convertible Promissory Note (the Notes) and (b) a warrant to purchase 288,462 shares of our common stock (subject to adjustment for certain dilutive transactions) (the Warrants). The Notes carry an interest rate of 10% per annum and are convertible into shares of our common stock based on a $0.52 conversion price (subject to adjustment for certain dilutive transactions). The Notes, to the extent that any part of the outstanding principal amount is not converted into shares of common stock, mature on the 180th day after the date of the Notes and are secured by all of our assets. The Warrants are immediately exercisable, expire on July 18, 2013, and have an exercise price of $0.52 per share.

Derivative Liabilities | 5. Derivative Liabilities As described in Note 4 Secured Convertible Promissory Notes and Warrants, the Company is accounting for the conversion features in its secured convertible notes as embedded derivative liabilities. The Company currently does not use hedging contracts to manage the risk of its overall exposure to interest rate and foreign currency changes. The conversion features are not considered hedging instruments. The conversion feature liability on the balance sheet at September 30, 2011 and 2010, and the change in the liability for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010 is summarized as follows:
In accordance with ASC 820, the following table represents the Company's fair value hierarchy for its financial liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010.

Organization And Nature Of Operations [Abstract] | |
Organization And Nature Of Operations | 1. Organization and Nature of Operations DayStar Technologies, Inc. (the "Company") is a development stage enterprise that was formed in 1997 for the purpose of developing, manufacturing and marketing innovative products to the solar photovoltaic ("PV") industry. From its inception, the Company has focused primarily on thin film copper indium gallium di-selenide ("CIGS") solar products. The Company has developed a proprietary one-step sputter deposition process and manufactured a commercial scale deposition tool to apply high efficiency CIGS material over large area glass substrates in a continuous fashion. The Company believes this proprietary tool, when combined with commercially available thin film manufacturing equipment, will provide a critically differentiated manufacturing process to produce low-cost monolithically integrated, CIGS-on-glass modules that address the grid-tied, ground-based PV market. The Company is currently seeking strategic partners and investors to commercialize its CIGS technology utilizing its proprietary deposition equipment. Certain information and note disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP") have been omitted from these condensed unaudited financial statements. These condensed unaudited financial statements 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, 2010. The condensed balance sheet as of December 31, 2010 has been derived from audited financial statements. The results of operations for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010 are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for the full year. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring accruals, have been made to present fairly the Company's financial position at September 30, 2011 and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010 and for the period from July 1, 2005 (Inception of the Development Stage) to September 30, 2011. Reverse Stock Split—On April 23, 2010, the Company's shareholders approved a reverse stock split of its issued and outstanding common shares in the range of one-for-five to one-for-nine, with the final ratio to be selected by the Company's Board of Directors. The total authorized shares of common stock remained unchanged at 120,000,000. The Board of Directors selected a ratio of one-for-nine and the reverse stock split was effective on May 11, 2010. Trading of the Company's common stock on the NASDAQ Capital Market on a split-adjusted basis began at the open of trading on May 12, 2010. The reverse stock split affected all shares of the Company's common stock, as well as options to purchase the Company's common stock and other equity incentive awards, as well as convertible debt instruments and warrants that were outstanding immediately prior to the effective date of the reverse stock split. All references to common shares and per-share data for prior periods have been retroactively restated to reflect the reverse stock split as if it had occurred at the beginning of the earliest period presented. |

Funding Commitment [Abstract] | |||||||||
Funding Commitment | 6. Funding Commitment On February 2, 2011 the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the "Purchase Agreement") with Socius CG II, Ltd. (the "Investor" or "Socius"). Pursuant to the terms of the Purchase Agreement, the Company has the right over a term of two years, subject to certain conditions, to demand through separate tranche notices that the Investor purchase up to a total of $5.0 million of Series B preferred stock. Under the Purchase Agreement, in connection with each tranche, Socius will receive the right (the "Investment Right") to purchase an amount of shares of our common stock equal in value to the amount of the tranche at a per share price equal to the closing bid price of the common stock on the date preceding our delivery of the tranche notice (the "Investment Price"). The Investment Right will be automatically exercised for shares of common stock at the time of each tranche. In addition, in connection with each tranche notice, a portion of a warrant issued to Socius under the Purchase Agreement with an aggregate exercise price equal to 35% of the amount of the tranche will vest and immediately be exercised at a per share price equal to the Investment Price. Socius may pay for the shares it elects to purchase under the investment right at its option, in cash or a secured promissory note. Socius may pay for the shares it elects to purchase under the warrant at its option, in cash or a secured promissory note. Any such promissory note will bear interest at 2.0% per year and be secured by securities owned by Socius with a fair market value equal to the principal amount of the promissory note. The entire principal balance and interest on the promissory note is due and payable on the fourth anniversary of the date of the promissory note, and may be applied by the Company toward the redemption of shares of Series B preferred stock held by Socius.
Holders of Series B Preferred Stock will be entitled to receive dividends, which will accrue in shares of Series B Preferred Stock on an annual basis at a rate equal to 10% per annum from the issuance date. Accrued dividends will be payable upon redemption of the Series B Preferred Stock or upon the liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company. The Series B Preferred Stock ranks, with respect to dividend right and upon liquidation:
The Series B Preferred Stock has a liquidation preference per share equal to the original price per share thereof plus all accrued dividends thereon (the "Liquidation Value"), and is subject to repurchase by the Company following the consummation of certain fundamental transactions by the Company. Upon or after the fourth anniversary of the applicable issuance date, the Company has the right, at its option, to redeem all or a portion of the shares of Series B Preferred Stock at the Liquidation Value. The Company also has the right, at its option, to redeem all or a portion of the shares of Series B Preferred Stock, at a price per share equal to: (i) 136% of the Liquidation Value if redeemed on or after the applicable issuance date but prior to the first anniversary of the applicable issuance date, (ii) 127% of the Liquidation Value if redeemed on or after the first anniversary but prior to the second anniversary of the applicable issuance date, (iii) 118% of the Liquidation Value if redeemed on or after the second anniversary but prior to the third anniversary of the applicable issuance date, and (iv) 109% of the Liquidation Value if redeemed on or after the third anniversary but prior to the fourth anniversary of the applicable issuance date. Under the terms of the Purchase Agreement, the Company was obligated to pay Socius a commitment fee for committing to purchase the Series B Preferred Stock in the form of shares of common stock or cash, at the Company's option. The amount of the commitment fee was the number of shares determined by dividing $294,120 by the closing bid price of the Company's common stock on the trading day immediately preceding the date on which the commitment fee is paid, or $250,000 in cash. If not earlier paid, the commitment fee was payable in full on the six-month anniversary of the effective date of the Purchase Agreement. On August 2, 2011, the Company transferred ownership of 744,607 shares of its common stock, including 587,989 newly issued shares in full payment of the commitment fee. The Company's ability to submit a tranche notice is subject to certain conditions including, among others, that: (1) a registration statement covering our sale of shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of the additional investment right contained in the Purchase Agreement or upon exercise of the warrants issued to Socius in connection with the tranche is effective and (2) the issuance of such shares (together with all other shares beneficially owned) would not result in Socius and its affiliates beneficially owning more than 9.99% of the Company's common stock. As of September 30, 2011, the Company has not executed a tranche under this facility. |

Liquidity and Future Operations The Company's financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2010 and for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the settlement of liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business. The Company is in the development stage, and as such, has historically reported net losses, including a net loss of $2.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2011. The Company anticipates it will continue to incur losses in the future as it seeks strategic partnerships and investments to commercialize its technology. As noted herein, as a result of the Company's current liquidity, there is substantial doubt as to its ability to continue as a going concern. In order to continue operations, pursue strategic partnerships and investments, and commercialize its technology, the Company requires immediate and substantial additional capital beyond its current cash on hand. In order to address its current financial requirements, on February 2, 2011, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the "Purchase Agreement") with Socius CG II, Ltd. (the "Investor" or "Socius"). Pursuant to the terms of the Purchase Agreement, the Company has the right over a term of two years, subject to certain conditions, to demand through separate tranche notices that the Investor purchase up to a total of $5.0 million of Series B preferred stock. The Company is currently seeking long-term strategic partnerships and investments to commercialize its CIGS technology utilizing its proprietary deposition equipment. Those potential partnerships, if consummated, could include joint ventures, licensing agreements, contract manufacturing agreements, a merger with or an acquisition of DayStar. Although the Company continues to seek strategic investors or partners, in light of its current cash position, the Company may in the near term be forced to cease operations. The Company has implemented cost savings measures to limit its cash outflows while pursuing strategic investments and partnerships.
An inability to raise additional funding in the very near term may cause the Company to file a voluntary petition for reorganization under the United States Bankruptcy Code, liquidate assets, and/or pursue other such actions that could adversely affect future operations. Given current market conditions and available opportunities, there is substantial doubt as to the Company's ability to complete a financing in the time frame required to remain in operation. A wide variety of factors relating to the Company and external conditions could adversely affect its ability to secure additional funding and the terms of any funding that it secures. |

Significant Accounting Policies [Abstract] | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Significant Accounting Policies | 3. Significant Accounting Policies Cash Equivalents—The Company considers all highly liquid debt securities purchased with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. The Company's cash and cash equivalents are maintained with major financial institutions within the United States and at times the balances with these institutions exceed the amount of federal insurance coverage on such deposits. Property and Equipment—Property and equipment is stated at cost. Depreciation is computed using straight-line and an accelerated method over estimated useful lives of 3 to 10 years. Expenditures for maintenance and repairs, which do not materially extend the useful lives of property and equipment, are charged to operations as incurred. When property or equipment is retired or otherwise disposed of, the property accounts are relieved of costs and accumulated depreciation and any resulting gain or loss is recognized. Revenue Recognition—The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with the FASB ASC 605 Revenue Recognition and Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC")'s Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 104, "Revenue Recognition" ("SAB 104") which require that four basic criteria must be met before revenue can be recognized: (1) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists; (2) delivery has occurred or services rendered; (3) the seller's price to the buyer is fixed and determinable; and (4) collectability is reasonably assured. Since inception of the development stage on July 1, 2005, the Company has earned minimal amounts of product revenue. Since inception of the development stage on July 1, 2005, the principal source of revenue for the Company has been from government funded research and development contracts and grants. Grant revenue is recognized when the Company fulfills obligations as set forth under the grant. Terms of the grant reflected in the accompanying financial statements require the Company to maintain specified employment criteria over a five year period. If the Company fails to meet the specified criteria, it must repay the unearned portion of the grant. As a result, the Company reported a liability of $520,000 and $420,000 at September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively. Research and development contract revenue is recognized as the Company meets milestones as set forth under the contract. The Company recognized no revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively. Research and Development Costs—Research and development costs are expensed as incurred. Funds obtained from government agencies that represent a cost reimbursement activity are reflected as reductions of Research and Development expenses. Use of Estimates—The preparation of the Company's financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires the Company's management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in these financial statements and accompanying notes. Significant estimates include the useful lives of the Company's property and equipment, the life and realization of the Company's capitalized costs associated with its patents and the Company's valuation allowance associated with its deferred tax asset. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Share-Based Compensation—The Company follows the provisions of FASB ASC 718 Compensation—Stock Compensation, which requires the measurement and recognition of compensation expense for all share-based payment awards to employees and directors based on estimated fair values. Additionally, the Company follows the SEC's Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 107 "Share-Based Payment" ("SAB 107"), as amended by Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 110 ("SAB 110"), which provides supplemental application guidance based on the views of the SEC. The Company estimates the expected term, which represents the period of time from the grant date that the Company expects its stock options to remain outstanding, using the simplified method as permitted by SAB 107 and SAB 110. Under this method, the expected term is estimated as the mid-point between the time the options vest and their contractual terms. The Company continues to apply the simplified method because it does not have sufficient historical exercise data to provide a reasonable basis upon which to estimate the expected terms due to the limited period of time its equity shares have been publicly traded and the limited number of its options which have so far vested and become eligible for exercise.
Share-based compensation expense for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010 was as follows:
During the nine months ended September 30, 2011, the Company granted options to purchase 335,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $1.55—$1.71 per share, all with a contractual life of ten years. Options to purchase 225,185 shares of common stock were forfeited during the nine months ended September 30, 2011. During the nine months ended September 30, 2011 there were restricted stock units granted to purchase 365,000 shares of common stock and there were no restricted stock units forfeited. Subsequent to September 30, 2011 and through the date of this filing, no options or restricted stock units were granted or forfeited. Reclassifications —Certain reclassifications have been made to the 2010 financial statements to conform to the 2011 presentation. Such reclassifications had no impact on net loss. Impact of Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements— In April 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2011-04, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP and IFRS. This ASU amends current fair value measurement and disclosure guidance to include increased transparency around valuation input and investment categorization. ASU 2011-04 is effective for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2011, with early adoption not permitted. The Company does not believe that the adoption of ASU 2011-04 in the first quarter of 2012 will have an impact on its financial position, results of operations, or cash flows. In June 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-05, Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Presentation of Comprehensive Income. ASU 2011-05 allows an entity to present components of net income and other comprehensive income in one continuous statement, referred to as the statement of comprehensive income, or in two separate, but consecutive statements. ASU 2011-05 eliminates the option to present the components of other comprehensive income as part of the statement of changes in stockholders' equity. While the new guidance changes the presentation of comprehensive income, there are no changes to the components that are recognized in net income or other comprehensive income under current accounting guidance. ASU 2011-05 is effective for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2011 and must be applied retrospectively. The Company does not believe that the adoption of ASU 2011-05 will have an impact on its financial position, results of operations, or cash flows. |

Secured Convertible Promissory Notes And Warrants | 4. Secured Convertible Promissory Notes and Warrants Beginning in September 2009, the Company has entered into a series of agreements with various lenders (the "Lenders") to provide bridge financing to the Company in exchange for notes and warrants. With the exception of the traditional loans indicated in the table below, these notes (the "Notes") are convertible into shares of the Company's common stock and each contain terms of six months, are secured by all assets of the Company, and accrue interest at rates of between 8 – 10% per annum. The Lenders may, at their option at any time prior to payment in full of the Notes, elect to convert all or any part of the entire outstanding principal amount of the Notes plus the accrued interest on the then outstanding balance into shares of the Company's common stock at the conversion price specified in each of the Notes (subject to adjustment in the event of any stock splits, stock dividends or other recapitalization of common stock subsequent to the date of such sale or issuance). If between the date of the Notes and such conversion, the Company issues or sells any shares of capital stock, other than certain excluded securities (a "Future Issuance"), at a per share price below the original conversion price specified in the Notes, then the conversion price of the Notes will be reduced to the price of such Future Issuance. As of September 30, 2011, the aggregate principal balance of all outstanding Notes was $4,805,000 and the Notes were convertible into 19,804,349 shares of common stock. The Notes' conversion features were determined to be embedded derivative liabilities and therefore were bifurcated from the Notes and recorded as a discount to the Notes at their fair value at issuance and are required to be adjusted to fair value at the end of each reporting period. The change in fair value of the conversion features, calculated using the Black Scholes model, is recorded as a gain or loss on derivative liabilities. The conversion feature fair values at September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010 were $39,978 and $3,854,272, respectively. The change in fair value of the conversion features resulted in a loss on derivative liabilities of $30,150 during the three months ended September 30, 2011 and a gain on derivative liabilities of $4,323,393 during the three months ended September 30, 2010. The change in fair value of the conversion features during the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010 resulted in a gain on derivative liabilities of $3,865,916 and $5,078,885, respectively.
The proceeds remaining, if any, after allocation to the conversion features are allocated on a relative fair value basis between the Notes and the warrants and the amounts allocated to the warrants, calculated using the Black Scholes model, are recorded as additional note discount. The discount attributable to the issuance date aggregate fair value of the conversion features and warrants, is being amortized using the effective interest method over the terms of the Notes. During the three months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, $122,653 and $1,809,947, respectively, of this discount was amortized to expense. During the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, $934,715 and $3,306,963, respectively, of this discount was amortized to expense. The warrants issued in connection with these Notes are exercisable upon issuance (with the exception of the warrants issued to Dynamic Worldwide Solar Energy, LLC) and entitle the Lenders to purchase up to 6,605,664 shares of common stock at exercise prices ranging from $0.52 – $1.70 per share, as adjusted for standard anti-dilution provisions and are exercisable for a period of 2 – 7 years from their respective issuance dates. The following table summarizes the pertinent details of the outstanding notes and warrants as of September 30, 2011.
The following table summarizes the pertinent details of the outstanding notes and warrants as of December 31, 2010.
In January 2011, Dynamic Worldwide Solar Energy, LLC converted its entire outstanding principal balance of $650,000 as well as the accrued interest thereon into shares of the Company's common stock, and John Gorman converted $500,000 of his outstanding principal balance as well as the accrued interest thereon into shares of the Company's common stock. Additionally, John Gorman transferred $100,000 of his remaining balance to Richard Schottenfeld. |
